Integration of floral inductive signals in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, floral induction leads ultimately to the upregulation of floral meristem-identity genes such as LEAFY, indicating that floral inductive signals are integrated upstream of LEAFy, demonstrating that the LEAF y promoter integrates environmental and endogenous signals controlling flowering time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid generation of a transgene-free powdery mildew resistant tomato by genome deletion

TL;DR: This study reports on generating Tomelo, a non-transgenic tomato variety resistant to the powdery mildew fungal pathogen using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, using whole-genome sequencing to show that Tomelo does not carry any foreign DNA sequences but only carries a deletion that is indistinguishable from naturally occurring mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 1001 Genomes Project for Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: A 1001 Genomes project for Arabidopsis thaliana, the workhorse of plant genetics, will provide an enormous boost for plant research with a modest financial investment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissection of floral induction pathways using global expression analysis.

TL;DR: A large group of potential floral repressors are discovered that are down-regulated upon photoperiodic induction, including two AP2 domain-encoding genes that can repress flowering and related findings on SPL genes suggest that microRNAs play an important role in the regulation of flowering.
