TL;DR: Whereas reverse genetics strategies seek to identify and select mutations in a known sequence, forward genetics requires the cloning of sequences underlying a particular mutant phenotype, which will boost the use of forward genetics approaches, as applied to isolating genes involved in natural variation and genes causing phenotypic mutations as derived from (second-site) mutagenesis screens.

TL;DR: This review examines the evidence for crosstalk between the classical heat stress response, which consists of heat shock factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs), with the ROS network at multiple levels in the heat response process, and proposes a model on HSFs, HSPs, ROS, and ROS scavenger interactions.

TL;DR: Exposure of the plants to sulfur dioxide does not result in any change in the diamine oxidase or peroxidase activities, yet the total sulfhydryl content of the leaf is increased, demonstrating the entry of sulfur dioxide.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HWS, CUC1 and CUC2 act together to control floral organ number and loss of function of HWS is associated with larger petal size due to alterations in cell proliferation and mitotic growth, a role shared with the C UC1 gene.

TL;DR: The regulation of plant development by light is mediated by several different photoreceptors and the multiple steps of the transduction chain(s), which may involve such aspects as changes in gene expression, interaction with plant hormones, membrane changes etc., which remain largely unknown.
