Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic Acid Inhibits Type 2C Protein Phosphatases via the PYR/PYL Family of START Proteins
Sang-Youl Park,Pauline Fung,Noriyuki Nishimura,Davin R. Jensen,Hiroaki Fujii,Yang Zhao,Shelley Lumba,Julia Santiago,Americo Rodrigues,Tsz-fung Freeman Chow,Simon E. Alfred,Dario Bonetta,Ruth R. Finkelstein,Nicholas J. Provart,Darrell Desveaux,Pedro L. Rodriguez,Peter McCourt,Jian-Kang Zhu,Julian I. Schroeder,Brian F. Volkman,Sean R. Cutler +20 more
TL;DR: PYR/PYLs are ABA receptors functioning at the apex of a negative regulatory pathway that controls ABA signaling by inhibiting PP2Cs, illustrating the power of the chemical genetic approach for sidestepping genetic redundancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Transcription Factor FUSCA3 Controls Developmental Timing in Arabidopsis through the Hormones Gibberellin and Abscisic Acid
TL;DR: The identification of lipophillic hormones downstream of a heterochronic regulator in Arabidopsis has parallels to mechanisms of developmental timing in animals and suggests a common logic for temporal control of developmental programs between these two kingdoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-function analysis identifies highly sensitive strigolactone receptors in Striga.
Shigeo Toh,Duncan Holbrook-Smith,Peter J. Stogios,O. Onopriyenko,Shelley Lumba,Yuichiro Tsuchiya,Alexei Savchenko,Peter McCourt +7 more
TL;DR: A crystal structure of a highly sensitive strigolactone receptor from Striga revealed an unexpectedly large ligand-binding pocket, which may explain how Striga manages to sense picomolar concentrations of the range of strIGolactones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Nuclear Hormone Receptors: A Role for Small Molecules in Protein-Protein Interactions
TL;DR: The molecular identification of plant nuclear hormone receptors will allow comparisons with animal nuclear receptors and testing of fundamental questions about hormone function in plant development and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of Striga asiatica is reported with 34,577 predicted protein-coding genes, which reflects gene family contractions and expansions that are consistent with a three-phase model of parasitic plant genome evolution, and genes involved in lateral root development in non-parasitic model species are coordinately induced during haustorium development in Striga.
