Repression of FUSCA3 by BASIC PENTACYSTEINE PROTEINS promotes ovule development and coordinates embryo and endosperm growth
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellWu et al. found that FUSCA3, which regulates seed development, is localized to specific cells of the ovule and seed coat and is itself regulated by BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BPC) proteins. Plant Cell https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00764

Cytokinin signaling patterns maize leaves, otherwise things get hairy and frayed
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In a NutshellVariation in leaf morphology across the angiosperms is impressive and abounds. Leaves are the primary photosynthetic organ for most angiosperms, acting as the primary sites of light capture and gas exchange. Typical of grass leaves, maize leaves are strap-like and simple, with unelaborated margins. Leaves…

Gene Dosage Balance Immediately Following Whole-Genome Duplication in Arabidopsis thaliana
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefFlowering plants have witnessed multiple cycles of whole-genome duplication (WGD) over the past 200 million years of evolution. Typically, WGD increases genome size and gene content, followed by gene loss, or fractionation, depending on functional categories. Certain classes of genes are retained as…
