JOINTLESS Maintains Inflorescence Meristem Identity in Tomato. [PDF]
Plant Cell PhysiolAbstract JOINTLESS (J) was isolated in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) from mutants lacking a flower pedicel abscission zone (AZ) and encodes a MADS-box protein of the SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE/AGAMOUS-LIKE 24 subfamily. The loss of J function also causes the return to leaf initiation in the inflorescences, indicating a pivotal role in ...

Integral Abutment and Jointless Bridges [PDF]
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2005 Integral bridges, or integral abutment and jointless bridges, as they are more commonly known in the USA, are constructed without any movement joints between spans or between spans and abutments. Typically these bridges have stub-type abutments supported

Development of an ultra-efficient prime editing system in tomato [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPrime editing (PE) enables precise genome modifications without donor DNA or double-strand breaks, but its application in dicot plants has faced challenges due to low efficiency, locus dependence, and poor heritability.

An Untethered Soft Robotic Dog Standing and Fast Trotting with Jointless and Resilient Soft Legs [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2023 Soft robots are compliant, impact resistant, and relatively safe in comparison to hard robots. However, the development of untethered soft robots is still a major challenge because soft legs cannot effectively support the power and control systems.

MaABI5 and MaABF1 transcription factors regulate the expression of MaJOINTLESS during fruit abscission in mulberry (Morus alba L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Mulberry holds significant economic value. However, during the ripening stage of its fruit, the phenomenon of abscission, resulting in heavy fruit drop, can severely impact the yield. The formation of off-zone structures is a critical factor in the fruit
