Book ChapterDOI
Elicitation of Organized Pigmentation Patterns by a Chalcone Synthase Transgene
TL;DR: This paper focuses on flower color patterns in Petunia hybrida and explains how the use of transgenes to manipulate patterns provides a tool with the potential to improve the understanding of how patterns are determined and elaborated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A specific tetracycline-induced, low-molecular-weight RNA encoded by the inverted repeat of Tn10 (IS10).
TL;DR: When Tn10-containing mini-cells were labeled in the presence of Tc a new RNA species was detected that hybridized specifically to DNA sequences from the outer 400 bp of each inverted repeat sequence (IS10).
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement of Macromolecules in Plant Cells Through Plasmodesmata
TL;DR: These two animations illustrate movement of a protein through an individual plasmodesma and an experiment to detect the movement of the transcription factor throughplasmodesmata from the L1 layer of a plant meristem into the L2 and L3 layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silencing Morpheus awakens transgenes.
TL;DR: This work, together with previous studies on another mutant in Arabidopsis (antisense MET1), suggests that extensive DNA methylation is neither required nor sufficient for transgene silencing, suggesting that methylationindependent mechanisms exist for heritably perpetuating altered transcriptional states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sense Cosuppression of Flower Color Genes: Metastable Morphology-based Phenotypes and the Prepattern-threshold Hypothesis
TL;DR: In flowering plants, transformation with a transgene whose coding sequence is homologous to an endogenous plant gene, and whose expression is driven in the sense orientation by a strong promoter, often produces the opposite outcome of that which was intended, resulting in a null phenotype.
