On the Inside: APETALA-2 and Meristem Arrest
Plant Physiology: On The InsideThe number of flowers that an inflorescence is able to produce, and therefore the number of fruits and seeds, depends on the activity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the length of the flowering period. In monocarpic plants, the end of flowering is associated with a senescence process called global…

Let’s stick together – a pectin biosynthetic mutant reveals the interconnectedness of plant cell walls
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe plant cell wall is vital for plant survival—it mediates defence against pathogens, provides structural stability and controls growth to produce final plant form. Plant cell walls are composite structures formed mainly from cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectins, and the interactions of these components…

On the Inside: Biosynthesis of Trilobatin, a Natural Sweetener
Plant Physiology: On The Inside
The current epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes have led to considerable interest in the commercial development of non-sugar sweeteners to reduce calorie intake. Trilobatin. a plant-based sweetener that is ~100X sweeter than Suc, is found at high concentrations in the leaves of a range of crabapple…
