TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of changes in global gene expression patterns during developmental leaf senescence in Arabidopsis has identified more than 800 genes that show a reproducible increase in transcript abundance.

TL;DR: Analysis of motif enrichment, as well as comparison of transcription factor families showing altered expression over the time course, identify clear groups of TFs active at different stages of leaf development and senescence, which will underpin the development of network models to elucidate the process of Senescence.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution time series of gene expression profiles from a single Arabidopsis thaliana leaf during infection by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea was generated.

TL;DR: It is reported here that the mobilization functions on the naturally occurring wide-host-range plasmid RSF1010 can mediate the transfer of plasmids from Agrobacterium into plant cells as well as transfer between bacteria, suggesting that plants have access to the gene pool of Gram-negative bacteria.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the --10 homology is equivalent to a "Pribnow box" for promoters expressed under nitrogen-starved conditions and that the--23 homology confers activator specificity on the nif promoters.
