Regulated proteolysis and plant development

Plant Cell Reports, 2004
Eukaryotes use the ubiquitin-proteasome system to control the abundance of regulatory proteins such as cell-cycle proteins and transcription factors. Over 5% of the Arabidopsis genome encodes for proteins with an apparent functional homology to components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Plant development revolves around axes

Trends in Plant Science, 2008
Arabidopsis thaliana has become a paradigm for dicot embryo development, despite its embryology being non-representative of dicots in general. The recent cloning of heterologous genes involved in embryonic development from maize and construction of robust phylogenies has shed light on the conservation of transcription factor function and now ...

Cytokinin action in plant development

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2009
Cytokinin regulates many important aspects of plant development in aerial and subterranean organs. The hormone is part of an intrinsic genetic network controlling organ development and growth in these two distinct environments that plants have to cope with. Cytokinin also mediates the responses to variable extrinsic factors, such as light conditions in

Expanding roles for pectins in plant development.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2018
Pectins are complex cell wall polysaccharides important for many aspects of plant development. Recent studies have discovered extensive physical interactions between pectins and other cell wall components, implicating pectins in new molecular functions ...

Histone Acetylation and Plant Development

2016
Reversible histone acetylation and deacetylation at the N-terminus of histone tails play a crucial role in regulation of gene activity. Hyperacetylation of histones relaxes chromatin structure and is associated with transcriptional activation, whereas hypoacetylation of histones induces chromatin compaction and gene repression.

Plant growth substances ? Metabolic flywheels for plant development

Cell Biology International Reports, 1983
Abstract Plant growth substances (plant hormones), the auxins, kinins, gibberellins, abscisins and ethylene, are a group of metabolically-active substances in plants concerned with development. The current view of their function emphasises the critical role they are assumed to play in regulating development.

Vascular tissue development in plants

2019
The plant vasculature is a sophisticated system that has greatly contributed to the evolution of land plants over the past few hundred million years. The formation of the vascular system is a well-organized plant developmental process, but it is also flexible in response to environmental changes.

Plant Development: The making of a plant hair

Current Biology, 1994
The identification of genes required for leaf-hair formation in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is leading to the detailed dissection of a cell-differentiation pathway.

Ascorbate system in plant development

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 1994
By using lycorine, a specific inhibitor of ascorbate biosynthesis, it was possible to demonstrate that plant cells consume a high quantity of ascorbate (AA). The in vivo metabolic reactions utilizing ascorbate are the elimination of H2O2 by ascorbate peroxidase and the hydroxylation of proline residues present in the polypeptide chains by means of ...

Chromatin regulation of plant development

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2003
Chromatin remodeling factors are being identified as genetic modifiers of developmental mutations in plants. These mutations result in lethality in metazoans, whereas in plants, they are viable and affect a wide range of developmental and physiological processes.
