Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription switches for protoxylem and metaxylem vessel formation

TL;DR: Findings suggest that VND6 and VND7 genes are transcription switches for plant metaxylem and protoxylem vessel formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome

John L. Bowman, +118 more
- 05 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Compared with other sequenced land plants, M. polymorpha exhibits low genetic redundancy in most regulatory pathways, with this portion of its genome resembling that predicted for the ancestral land plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

SND1, a NAC Domain Transcription Factor, Is a Key Regulator of Secondary Wall Synthesis in Fibers of Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Arabidopsis thaliana NAC (for NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domain transcription factor, SND1 (for secondary wall–associated NAC domain protein), is a key transcriptional switch regulating secondary wall synthesis in fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

VASCULAR‐RELATED NAC‐DOMAIN7 is involved in the differentiation of all types of xylem vessels in Arabidopsis roots and shoots

TL;DR: Examining the mechanisms underscoring the function of VND7 in vessel differentiation in more detail suggest that VND 7 regulates the differentiation of all types of vessels in roots and shoots, possibly in cooperation with VND2 to VND5 and other regulatory proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN7 directly regulates the expression of a broad range of genes for xylem vessel formation.

TL;DR: Findings indicated that VND7 upregulates, directly and/or indirectly, many genes involved in a wide range of processes in xylem vessel differentiation, and that its target genes are partially different from those of NSTs.
