MADS-box genes comprise a large family of transcription factors that play crucial roles in all aspects of plant growth and development. However, no detailed information on the evolutionary relationship and functional characterization of MADS-box genes is

Are plant genes different? [PDF]
The mRNAs from animal systems are now known to have some conserved sequences in common, and a characteristic codon usage. Very few plant genes or cDNAs have been sequenced so far and it has not been possible to say therefore whether they share these characteristics as well.

Plants, like animals, use steroid hormones to regulate their development. However, in plants, the steroid hormone is bound by a receptor at the cell surface instead of a nuclear receptor. In a Perspective, [Sablowski and Harberd][1] discuss studies published here ([ He et al .][2]) and elsewhere that provide the missing link between binding of the ...

Heterelogous Expression of Plant Genes [PDF]
Heterologous expression allows the production of plant proteins in an organism which is simpler than the natural source. This technology is widely used for large‐scale purification of plant proteins from microorganisms for biochemical and biophysical analyses.

Foliar fungal endophytes are known to alter plant physiology but the mechanisms by which they do so remain poorly understood. We focused on how plant gene expression was altered by six fungal strains that generated “water-saver” and “water-spender ...

Genome-wide identification of bacterial plant colonization genes. [PDF]
Diverse soil-resident bacteria can contribute to plant growth and health, but the molecular mechanisms enabling them to effectively colonize their plant hosts remain poorly understood. We used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB-TnSeq)

Application of recombinant DNA technology to studies on plant secondary metabolism [PDF]
This review which is concerned with the application of recombinant DNA technology to studies on plant secondary metabolism, presents the more common plant transformation strategies and shows how these genetic approaches are being used in attempts to ...

The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

Plant genes: The genetics of epigenetics [PDF]
The formation of silent epialleles is accompanied by local hypermethylation of the DNA template, and genetically altered, methylation-deficient Arabidopsis mutants generate an increased number of epimutations. But what came first--methylation or epigenetic change?

Seed dormancy and germination are regulated by complex mechanisms controlled by diverse hormones and environmental cues. Abscisic acid (ABA) promotes seed dormancy and inhibits seed germination and post-germination growth.
