Shi et al. provide a high-resolution gene expression map of the Arabidopsis stem. The Plant Cell (2021) http://bit.ly/3pgWm4G By Dongbo Shi and Thomas Greb Bckground: Multicellular organisms are usually built of numerous different tissues with very special functions. These functions depend on unique sets of gene activities. Therefore, obtaining information about which gene is active […]
Ananya Mukherjee ORCID ID: 0000-0003-1802-1806 University of Nebraska Lincoln Genetic screens are a remarkable way of identifying mutations affecting various aspects of plant growth and development. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) (T)-DNA insertion lines enable rapid identification of mutant genes but are tedious to create in a mutant background of choice. Chemical mutagens such as ethyl methanesulfonate […]
Yang and colleagues set out to untangle the network of transcription factors controlling O2 expression during maize seed development By Tao Yang and Yongrui Wu, National Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics, CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200032, China. https://bit.ly/34lY4d0 […]
Keiko Yonekura-Sakakibara, Masaomi Yamamura et al. identify factors that play essential roles in the biosynthesis of seed-coat protective neolignans. Plant Cell. http://bit.ly/3mseqae By Keiko Yonekura-Sakakibara and Kazuki Saito, RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science Background: Neolignans are specialized plant metabolites with various biological activities including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-tumor properties. For example, Honokiol, the neolignan […]
Riediger et al. investigate the RNA-protein complexome of a photosynthetic cyanobacterium. The Plant Cell. https://bit.ly/3njpBn4 By Matthias Riediger and Wolfgang R. Hess Background: Cyanobacteria are a unique group of bacteria with the ability to perform plant-like photosynthesis. Like their larger cousins, land plants and eukaryotic algae, they only require sunlight, inorganic nutrients and fairly stable […]
