Journal ArticleDOI
A petunia ABC protein controls strigolactone-dependent symbiotic signalling and branching
Tobias Kretzschmar,Wouter Kohlen,Joelle Sasse,Lorenzo Borghi,Markus Schlegel,Julien B. Bachelier,Didier Reinhardt,Ralph Bours,Harro J. Bouwmeester,Enrico Martinoia +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the Petunia hybrida ABC transporter PDR1 has a key role in regulating the development of arbuscular mycorrhizae and axillary branches, by functioning as a cellular strigolactone exporter.
Journal ArticleDOI
MADS-Box Protein Complexes Control Carpel and Ovule Development in Arabidopsis
Rebecca Favaro,Anusak Pinyopich,Raffaella Battaglia,Maarten Kooiker,Lorenzo Borghi,Gary S. Ditta,Martin F. Yanofsky,Martin M. Kater,Lucia Colombo +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ectopic expression of either the STK or SHP gene is sufficient to induce the transformation of sepals into carpeloid organs bearing ovules and that the SEP proteins, known to form multimeric complexes in the control of flower organ identity, also form complexes to control normal ovule development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial Services of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi - From Ecology to Application.
TL;DR: New developments in the industry for AM-related products for agriculture, horticulture, and landscaping are discussed, and future potential and limits toward the use of AM fungi for plant production are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
RefGenes: identification of reliable and condition specific reference genes for RT-qPCR data normalization
Tomas Hruz,Markus Wyss,Mylène Docquier,Michael W. Pfaffl,Sabine Masanetz,Lorenzo Borghi,Phebe Verbrugghe,Luba Kalaydjieva,Stefan Bleuler,Oliver Laule,Patrick Descombes,Wilhelm Gruissem,Philip Zimmermann +12 more
TL;DR: Validation RT-qPCR experiments across several organisms showed that the candidates proposed by RefGenes generally outperformed commonly used reference genes and were specifically chosen for the conditions under study.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of Petunia hybrida reveal that the Petunia lineage has experienced at least two rounds of hexaploidization, and transcription factors involved in the shift from bee to moth pollination reside in particularly dynamic regions of the genome.
