Single-plant omics provides transcriptional insights into the transition from the vegetative to reproductive phases

Plants undergo a series of physiological processes when transitioning from the juvenile to the vegetative phase, and then vegetative to the reproductive phase. RNA-Seq offers substantial potential for uncovering the transcriptional landscape underlying these developmental transitions. However, developmental asynchrony among individual plants within a population creates variations in the spatiotemporal expression of genes. Redmond et […]

UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE (UBP14) interacts with HY5 to promote photomorphogenesis under dark-to-light conditions

ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) is a transcription factor that regulates about one-third of Arabidopsis genes, affecting growth and development of seedlings through light and hormone signaling. UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE (UBP14) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes ubiquitin from substrate proteins. In a new study, Fang et al. performed bi-molecular fluorescence complementation, and yeast two hybrid, pull down, […]
