A specific group of genes respond to cold dehydration stress in cut Alstroemeria flowers whereas ambient dehydration stress accelerates developmental senescence expression patterns [PDF]
, 2010 Petal development and senescence entails a normally irreversible process. It starts with petal expansion and pigment production, and ends with nutrient remobilization and ultimately cell death.

Floral biology of Avena strigosa
, 2021 Black oat is a plant of multiple uses in the agricultural system, however breeding programs have little success in getting new genotypes, without knowing the exact reason, so this study had the goal to characterize the floral morphology and to evaluate if there is variability in Avena strigosa in its pollen viability.

Floral biology of cacauhy (Theobroma speciosum - Malvaceae)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010 In the present work, cacauhy's (Theobroma speciosum) floral biology was studied. Flower buds split their sepals at 14h reaching its maximum at 22h, but all flowers were fully opened at 6:00 h of the following morning.

Mutations in the PERIANTHIA gene of Arabidopsis specifically alter floral organ number and initiation pattern [PDF]
, 1996 An open question in developmental biology is how groups of dividing cells can generate specific numbers of segments or organs. We describe the phenotypic effects of mutations in PERIANTHIA, a gene specifically required for floral organ patterning in ...

FLOWERING LOCUS C -dependent and -independent regulation of the circadian clock by the autonomous and vernalization pathways [PDF]
, 2006 Background The circadian system drives pervasive biological rhythms in plants. Circadian clocks integrate endogenous timing information with environmental signals, in order to match rhythmic outputs to the local day/night cycle.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve
