Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenic plants protected from insect attack

TL;DR: The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces proteins which are specifically toxic to a variety of insect species, and modified genes have been derived from bt2, a toxin gene cloned from one Bacillus strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis, the Rosetta stone of flowering time?

TL;DR: An integrated network of pathways that quantitatively control the timing of this developmental switch in Arabidopsis are identified and this framework provides the basis to understand the evolution of different reproductive strategies and how floral pathways interact through seasonal progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Analysis of FRIGIDA, a Major Determinant of Natural Variation in Arabidopsis Flowering Time

TL;DR: This work cloned FRI and analyzed the molecular basis of the allelic variation at the FRIGIDA locus, finding that loss-of-function mutations at FRI have provided the basis for the evolution of many early-flowering ecotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vernalization requires epigenetic silencing of FLC by histone methylation

TL;DR: It is shown that vernalization causes changes in histone methylation in discrete domains within the FLC locus, increasing dimethylation of lysines 9 and 27 on histone H3, which identify silenced chromatin states in Drosophila and human cells.
