Journal ArticleDOI
Increased leaf size: different means to an end
Nathalie Gonzalez,Stefanie De Bodt,Ronan Sulpice,Yusuke Jikumaru,Eunyoung Chae,Stijn Dhondt,Twiggy Van Daele,Liesbeth De Milde,Detlef Weigel,Yuji Kamiya,Mark Stitt,Gerrit T.S. Beemster,Dirk Inzé +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a comparative analysis of transgenic lines that produce enlarged leaves under standardized environmental conditions and identified five genes belonging to different functional classes that all positively affect leaf size when overexpressed: AVP1, GRF5, JAW, BRI1 and GA20OX1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf Responses to Mild Drought Stress in Natural Variants of Arabidopsis
Pieter Clauw,Frederik Coppens,Kristof De Beuf,Stijn Dhondt,Twiggy Van Daele,Katrien Maleux,Veronique Storme,Lieven Clement,Nathalie Gonzalez,Dirk Inzé +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the existence of a robust response over different genetic backgrounds to mild drought stress in developing leaves, and 87 genes were found to be specific for the response of young developing leaves to Mild drought stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf Growth Response to Mild Drought: Natural Variation in Arabidopsis Sheds Light on Trait Architecture.
Pieter Clauw,Frederik Coppens,Arthur Korte,Dorota Herman,Bram Slabbinck,Stijn Dhondt,Twiggy Van Daele,Liesbeth De Milde,Mattias Vermeersch,Katrien Maleux,Steven Maere,Nathalie Gonzalez,Dirk Inzé +12 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive study of 100 Arabidopsis accessions at the phenotype and transcriptome level elucidated extraordinary plasticity of growth responses to mild drought and revealed that trans regulation seems to be more important than cis regulation in the transcriptional response to environmental perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining growth-promoting genes leads to positive epistasis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Hannes Vanhaeren,Hannes Vanhaeren,Nathalie Gonzalez,Nathalie Gonzalez,Frederik Coppens,Frederik Coppens,Liesbeth De Milde,Liesbeth De Milde,Twiggy Van Daele,Twiggy Van Daele,Mattias Vermeersch,Mattias Vermeersch,Nubia Barbosa Eloy,Nubia Barbosa Eloy,Veronique Storme,Veronique Storme,Dirk Inzé,Dirk Inzé +17 more
TL;DR: Positive epistasis was found with combinations of genes with a similar mode of action, but also with genes which affect distinct processes, such as cell proliferation and cell expansion, in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution time-resolved imaging of in vitro Arabidopsis rosette growth.
Stijn Dhondt,Stijn Dhondt,Nathalie Gonzalez,Nathalie Gonzalez,Jonas Blomme,Jonas Blomme,Liesbeth De Milde,Liesbeth De Milde,Twiggy Van Daele,Twiggy Van Daele,Dirk Van Akoleyen,Dirk Van Akoleyen,Veronique Storme,Veronique Storme,Frederik Coppens,Frederik Coppens,Gerrit T.S. Beemster,Dirk Inzé,Dirk Inzé +18 more
TL;DR: Time-resolved imaging of in vitro rosette growth generates a better understanding of growth phenotypes than endpoint measurements, underlining the high complexity of leaf growth coordination.
