Journal ArticleDOI
A developmental switch sufficient for flower initiation in diverse plants
TL;DR: Transgenic plants in which the flower-meristem-identity gene LEAFY of Arabidopsis is constitutively expressed are generated, suggesting a new level of regulation during flower development, as indicated by the competence of the main shoot to respond to LEAFy activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of jasmonate biosynthesis and senescence by miR319 targets.
Carla Schommer,Javier F. Palatnik,Pooja Aggarwal,Aurore Chételat,Pilar Cubas,Edward E. Farmer,Utpal Nath,Detlef Weigel +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that miR319-controlled TCP transcription factors coordinate two sequential processes in leaf development: leaf growth and leaf senescence, which they positively regulate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of flower development in Arabidopsis thaliana by APETALA1 and interacting genes
TL;DR: The results suggest that the products of APETALA1 and another gene, LEAFY, are required to ensure that primordia arising on the flanks of the inflorescence apex adopt a floral fate, as opposed to becoming an inflorescence shoot.
Journal ArticleDOI
The homeotic gene fork head encodes a nuclear protein and is expressed in the terminal regions of the Drosophila embryo
TL;DR: P element-mediated germ-line transformation and sequence comparison of wild-type and mutant alleles identify the fkh gene within the cloned region, suggesting that fkh regulates the transcription of other, subordinate, genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of metal hyperaccumulation required cis -regulatory changes and triplication of HMA4
Marc Hanikenne,Ina N. Talke,Michael J. Haydon,Christa Lanz,Andrea Nolte,Patrick Motte,Juergen Kroymann,Detlef Weigel,Ute Krämer +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of cis-regulatory mutations and gene copy number expansion in the evolution of a complex naturally selected extreme trait and the elucidation of a natural strategy for metal hyperaccumulation enables the rational design of technologies for the clean-up of metal-contaminated soils and for bio-fortification.
