Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal regulation of leaf senescence through integration of developmental and stress signals.
TL;DR: It is suggested that leafsenescence strictly depends on developmental changes, after which senescence can be induced, depending on the type of hormonal and environmental cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chalcone synthase as a reporter in virus-induced gene silencing studies of flower senescence.
Jen-Chih Chen,Cai-Zhong Jiang,Timothy E. Gookin,Timothy E. Gookin,Donald A. Hunter,Donald A. Hunter,David G. Clark,Michael S. Reid +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the value of VIGS with tandem constructs containing CHS as reporter and a target gene as a tool for examining the function of floral-associated genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for transient assay of gene function in floral tissues

TL;DR: The feasibility of using biolistics-based transient RNAi, and transient transformation of petal tissue via Agrobacterium infiltration to study gene function in petals is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The use of the manual annotation tool WebApollo facilitated manual checking and correction of gene models enabling improvement of computational prediction, especially relevant for certain types of gene families such as the EXPANSIN like genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of abscisic acid in perianth senescence of daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus"Dutch Master").
TL;DR: Attempts to extend floral longevity by using putative inhibitors of ABA biosynthesis [tungstate, fluridone and 1,1-dimethyl-4-(phenylsulphonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS)] were unsuccessful, but inclusion of 100 microM gibberellic acid (GA(3)) in the vase solution reduced the senescence-inducing effects of 50 microM ABA suggesting a possible mechanism for in-vivo
