Gibberellins Promote Flowering of Arabidopsis by Activating the LEAFY Promoter

TL;DR: It is found that the failure of gibberellin-deficient ga1-3 mutants to flower in short days was paralleled by the absence of LEAFY promoter induction, and a causal connection between these two events was confirmed by the ability of a constitutively expressed LEAFy transgene to restore flowering to ga1 -3 mutants in shortDays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Interaction Map of the Arabidopsis MADS Box Transcription Factors

TL;DR: A comprehensive plant protein–protein interactome map of nearly all members of the Arabidopsis thaliana MADS box transcription factor family is presented and a model is proposed that integrates the floral induction and floral organ formation networks based on the interactions between the proteins involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic framework for floral patterning.

TL;DR: This work shows that the meristem-identity gene LEAFY has a role in controlling homeotic genes that is separable from its role in specifying floral fate, and proposes a genetic framework for the control of floral patterning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of natural strains of Arabidopsis thaliana with short reads

TL;DR: The Velvet assembler was incorporated into a targeted de novo assembly method and yielded 10,921 high-confidence contigs that were anchored to flanking sequences and harbored indels as large as 641 bp, and the methods are broadly applicable for polymorphism discovery in moderate to large genomes even at highly diverged loci.
