Journal ArticleDOI
The Arabidopsis thaliana Myo-Inositol 1-Phosphate Synthase1 Gene Is Required for Myo-inositol Synthesis and Suppression of Cell Death
Janet L. Donahue,Shannon R. Alford,Javad Torabinejad,Rachel E. Kerwin,Aida Nourbakhsh,W. Keith Ray,Marcy Hernick,Xinyi Huang,Blair M. Lyons,Pyae P Hein,Glenda E. Gillaspy +10 more
TL;DR: MIPS1 has a significant impact on myo-inositol levels that is critical for maintaining levels of ascorbic acid, phosphatidyl inositol, and ceramides that regulate growth, development, and cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Network Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Circadian Clock Outputs Identifies Metabolic Pathway-to-Clock Linkages in Arabidopsis
Rachel E. Kerwin,José M. Jiménez-Gómez,Daniel Fulop,Stacey L. Harmer,Julin N. Maloof,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic manipulation of a secondary metabolic enzyme led to altered free-running rhythms in Arabidopsis thaliana secondary metabolism, and this represents a unique and valuable approach to the study of complex networks using quantitative genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana defense metabolism genes modulates field fitness
Rachel E. Kerwin,Julie Feusier,Julie Feusier,Jason A. Corwin,Matthew J. Rubin,Catherine Lin,Alise Muok,Alise Muok,Brandon Larson,Brandon Larson,Brandon Larson,Baohua Li,Bindu Joseph,Marta Francisco,Marta Francisco,Daniel Copeland,Cynthia Weinig,Daniel J. Kliebenstein,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +18 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, variation in these naturally polymorphic GSL genes affected fitness in each of the authors' environments but the pattern fluctuated such that highly fit genotypes in one trial displayed lower fitness in another and that no GSL genotype or genotypes consistently out-performed the others.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel 2-Oxoacid-Dependent Dioxygenase Involved in the Formation of the Goiterogenic 2-Hydroxybut-3-enyl Glucosinolate and Generalist Insect Resistance in Arabidopsis
Bjarne Gram Hansen,Rachel E. Kerwin,James A. Ober,Virginia M. Lambrix,Thomas Mitchell-Olds,Jonathan Gershenzon,Barbara Ann Halkier,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of herbivory by the generalist lepidopteran Trichoplusia ni showed that production of 2-hydroxybut-3-enyl glucosinolate provides increased resistance and that this metabolite increases resistance to generalist Herbivory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Glucosinolate Biosynthetic Gene AOP2 Mediates Feed-back Regulation of Jasmonic Acid Signaling in Arabidopsis
Meike Burow,Susanna Atwell,Marta Francisco,Rachel E. Kerwin,Barbara Ann Halkier,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a regulatory feed-back loop linking glucosinolate biosynthesis and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling was found in Arabidopsis, and it was shown that AOP2 expression can increase the transcript levels of two known regulators (myB28 and MYB29) of the pathway.
