Switching on plant genes by external chemical signals

Trends in Plant Science, 2001
During the past decade there has been rapidly increasing interest in the role of plant volatiles in insect-plant interactions and the induction of plant defence systems by both pathogens and herbivores. Scientists are striving to link the proximate studies elucidating pathways and genes with the ultimate adaptive studies that attempt to explain their ...

Genetic Toggle Switch in Plants

ACS Synthetic Biology
In synthetic biology, genetic components are assembled to make transcriptional units, and transcriptional units are assembled into circuits to perform specific and predictable functions of a genetic device. Genetic devices have been described in bacteria, mammalian cell cultures, and small organoids, yet the development of programmable genetic circuits

Switching control of a family of plants

Proceedings of 1995 American Control Conference - ACC'95, 2005
In this paper, the adaptive control problem dealing with a family of MIMO LTI finite-dimensional plants recently examined by Miller and Davison (1990) is reconsidered. In particular, we present a new robust switching mechanism which requires less a priori system information than previously assumed in Miller-Davison.

Resistance proteins: molecular switches of plant defence

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006
Specificity of the plant innate immune system is often conferred by resistance (R) proteins. Most R proteins contain leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), a central nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and a variable amino-terminal domain. The LRRs are mainly involved in recognition, whereas the amino-terminal domain determines signalling specificity.

A 'Hydrolase Switch' for Vascular Specialization in Plant Pathogenic Bacteria

Trends in Plant Science, 2021
Plant vascular diseases are tissue-specific systemic infections provoked by bacterial and fungal pathogens adapted to thrive in the xylem vessels. A recent report by Gluck-Thaler et al. reveals that, in the phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas, the switch from non-vascular to vascular pathogenesis is determined by a single gene encoding a plant cell ...

Optimization of two-controller switchings for LTI plants

2017 25th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED), 2017
In this paper we propose procedures to evaluate switching times, controller resets and vanishing feedforward terms when two linear controllers can be switched in order to optimize a quadratic cost function of the closed-loop system response in case of linear plants. Numerical and closed-form solutions are provided.

Switching at the Connors Creek plant

Electrical Engineering, 1934
A description of the switching facilities at Essex station, adjacent to the Connors Creek generating plant of The Detroit (Mich.) Edison Company, is given this paper, which is part of a symposium on electric power switching at modern large steam-electric generating plants.

The Rop GTPase: an emerging signaling switch in plants

Plant Molecular Biology, 2000
G proteins are ubiquitous molecular switches in eukaryotic signal transduction, but their roles in plant signal transduction had not been clearly established until recent studies of the plant-specific Rop subfamily of RHO GTPases. Rop participates in signaling to an array of physiological processes including cell polarity establishment, cell growth ...

Architectural switches in plant thylakoid membranes

Photosynthesis Research, 2013
Recent progress in elucidating the structure of higher plants photosynthetic membranes provides a wealth of information. It allows generation of architectural models that reveal well-organized and complex arrangements not only on whole membrane level, but also on the supramolecular level.
