Agronomy, 2020 Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is an expanding high-value berry crop worldwide. The presence of prickles, outgrowths of epidermal tissues lacking vasculature, on the canes, petioles, and undersides of leaves complicates both field management and harvest.

Activity of Smurf2 Ubiquitin Ligase Is Regulated by the Wnt Pathway Protein Dishevelled
Cells, 2020 Wnt and BMP signaling pathways are two key molecular machineries regulating development and homeostasis. The efficient coordination of Wnt and BMP is essential in many developmental processes such as establishment of antero-posterior and dorso-ventral ...

Coordination of planar cell polarity pathways through Spiny-legs
eLife, 2015 Morphogenesis and physiology of tissues and organs requires planar cell polarity (PCP) systems that orient and coordinate cells and their behaviors, but the relationship between PCP systems has been controversial.

Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Previous work in our laboratory has shown that mutations in prickle (pk) cause myoclonic-like seizures and ataxia in Drosophila, similar to what is observed in humans carrying mutations in orthologous PRICKLE genes.

Epilepsy gene prickle ensures neuropil glial ensheathment through regulating cell adhesion molecules
iScience, 2023 Summary: Human PRICKLE1 gene has been associated with epilepsy. However, the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms remain elusive. Here we report a Drosophila prickle mutant pkIG1-1 exhibiting strong epileptic seizures and, intriguingly, abnormal glial ...

A Farnesyltransferase Acts to Inhibit Ectopic Neurite Formation in C. elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Genetic pathways that regulate nascent neurite formation play a critical role in neuronal morphogenesis. The core planar cell polarity components VANG-1/Van Gogh and PRKL-1/Prickle are involved in blocking inappropriate neurite formation in a subset of ...

Silicon Alters Leaf Surface Morphology and Suppresses Insect Herbivory in a Model Grass Species
Plants, 2020 Grasses accumulate large amounts of silicon (Si) which is deposited in trichomes, specialised silica cells and cell walls. This may increase leaf toughness and reduce cell rupture, palatability and digestion.
