Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

A guard-cell-specific MYB transcription factor regulates stomatal movements and plant drought tolerance.

TL;DR: The characterization of AtMYB60, a R2R3-MYB gene of Arabidopsis, is reported as the first transcription factor involved in the regulation of stomatal movements and opens new possibilities to engineeringStomatal activity to help plants survive desiccation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TERMINAL FLOWER1 Is a Mobile Signal Controlling Arabidopsis Architecture

TL;DR: It is proposed that signals from LFY in floral meristems may feed back to promote TFL1 protein movement in the shoot meristem, which would ensure that shootMeristem identity is maintained and the appropriate inflorescence architecture develops.
Journal ArticleDOI

GIGANTEA Enables Drought Escape Response via Abscisic Acid-Dependent Activation of the Florigens and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1

TL;DR: The data reveal a key role for GI in connecting photoperiodic cues and environmental stress independently from the central FT/TSF activator CONSTANS, which explains how environmental cues may act upon the florigen genes in aPhotoperiodically controlled manner, thus enabling plastic flowering responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small Ubiquitin-Like Modifier Proteases OVERLY TOLERANT TO SALT1 and -2 Regulate Salt Stress Responses in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that salt stress induces a dose-dependent accumulation of SUMO1/2-conjugated proteins in Arabidopsis, and a requirement for OTS1 deSUMOylation activity in plant salt tolerance responses is indicated.
