Journal ArticleDOI
Signals in abscission
TL;DR: This review details what the authors know of the signals that lead to the differentiation of zone cells; the environmental signals that promote cell separation, and the possible intracellular signalling events that culminate in organ shedding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of gene-coding sequences in maize by genome filtration.

TL;DR: Approximately 80% of the maize genome comprises highly repetitive sequences interspersed with single-copy, gene-rich sequences, and standard genome sequencing strategies are not readily adaptable to this type of genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Separation Processes in Plants—Models, Mechanisms and Manipulation
TL;DR: The use of transgenic plants and model systems such as Arabidopsis is assisting the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate abscission and dehiscence and the application of this information will advance understanding of cell separation processes in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annotation of the Arabidopsis Genome

TL;DR: The Arabidopsis Genome Sequencing Project was officially completed in late 2000, leading to the publication of a landmark paper describing, in broad outline, many salient features of theArabidopsis genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and Spatial Expression of a Polygalacturonase during Leaf and Flower Abscission in Oilseed Rape and Arabidopsis
TL;DR: Characterization of these PG genes revealed that they had substantial homology within both the coding regions and in the 5′-upstream sequences, and this fragment was sufficient to drive expression of these reporter genes in the AZs at the base of the anther filaments, petals, and sepals.
