Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the functional role of endoreduplication in tomato fruit development
Christian Chevalier,Mehdi Nafati,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Matthieu Bourdon,Nathalie Frangne,Catherine Cheniclet,Jean-Pierre Renaudin,Frédéric Gévaudant,Michel Hernould +8 more
TL;DR: The fruit-specific functional analysis of the tomato CDK inhibitor KRP1 reveals that cell size and fruit size determination can be uncoupled from DNA ploidy levels, indicating that endoreduplication acts rather as a limiting factor for cell growth.
REVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE PLANT CELL CYCLE Elucidating the functional role of endoreduplication in tomato fruit development
Christian Chevalier,Mehdi Nafati,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Matthieu Bourdon,Nathalie Frangne,Catherine Cheniclet,Jean-Pierre Renaudin,Michel Hernould +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of endoreduploidy in the development of tomato fruit was investigated, focusing on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) as a model, and functional analyses of endorduplication-associated regulatory genes in tomato fruit were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The specific overexpression of a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor in tomato fruit mesocarp cells uncouples endoreduplication and cell growth.
Mehdi Nafati,Catherine Cheniclet,Michel Hernould,Michel Hernould,Phuc Thi Do,Alisdair R. Fernie,Christian Chevalier,Frédéric Gévaudant,Frédéric Gévaudant +8 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model for tissue growth according to the number of divisions and endocycles is established, and it is demonstrated that determination of cell and fruit size can be, at least conditionally, uncoupled from endoreduplication.
Book ChapterDOI
Endoreduplication and Growth of Fleshy Fruits
Matthieu Bourdon,Matthieu Bourdon,Nathalie Frangne,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Elodie Mathieu-Rivet,Mehdi Nafati,Mehdi Nafati,Catherine Cheniclet,Jean-Pierre Renaudin,Christian Chevalier +9 more
TL;DR: This chapter aims at reviewing the current knowledge on fleshy fruit development and addresses the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in their growth, with a special emphasis on the cell expansion associated process of endoreduplication, with tomato fruit as the model species for fleshy fruits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional characterization of the tomato cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor SlKRP1 domains involved in protein-protein interactions.
TL;DR: A functional analysis of various domains present in KRPs from tomato brought new insights to the functional role of particular domains inKRPs relative to subcellular localization or proteolytic degradation.
