Floral determination and expression of floral regulatory genes in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Examination of the expression of the floral regulators LEAFY, APETALA1 and AGAMOUS-LIKE8 during light treatments that induced flowering in Arabidopsis indicated that the induction of floral regulatory genes and induction of flower formation can be uncoupled under certain circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural variation in light sensitivity of Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is found that the unusual far-red response of the Lm-2 accession is due to a single amino-acid change in the phytochrome A (PHYA) protein, which stabilizes the light-labile PHYA protein in light and causes a 100-fold shift in the threshold for far- red light sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperosmotic stress memory in Arabidopsis is mediated by distinct epigenetically labile sites in the genome and is restricted in the male germline by DNA glycosylase activity

TL;DR: These findings reveal that plants use a highly dynamic maternal ‘short-term stress memory’ with which to respond to adverse external conditions and epigenetically targeted sequences function as distantly-acting control elements of antisense long non-coding RNAs, which in turn regulate targeted gene expression in response to stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of Medicago truncatula via infiltration of seedlings or flowering plants with Agrobacterium.

TL;DR: Two rapid and simple in planta transformation methods have been developed for the model legume Medicago truncatula, and analysis of the T2 generation indicates that the transgenes are inherited in a Mendelian fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reference-guided assembly of four diverse Arabidopsis thaliana genomes

TL;DR: Reference-guided whole-genome assemblies of four divergent Arabidopsis thaliana strains that complement the 125-Mb reference genome sequence released a decade ago were presented in this paper.
