TLDR
Genevestigator as mentioned in this paper is a web-browser interface for gene expression analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip data, which allows users to retrieve the expression patterns of individual genes throughout chosen environmental conditions, growth stages, or organs.
Abstract
High-throughput gene expression analysis has become a frequent and powerful research tool in biology. At present, however, few software applications have been developed for biologists to query large microarray gene expression databases using a Web-browser interface. We present GENEVESTIGATOR, a database and Web-browser data mining interface for Affymetrix GeneChip data. Users can query the database to retrieve the expression patterns of individual genes throughout chosen environmental conditions, growth stages, or organs. Reversely, mining tools allow users to identify genes specifically expressed during selected stresses, growth stages, or in particular organs. Using GENEVESTIGATOR, the gene expression profiles of more than 22,000 Arabidopsis genes can be obtained, including those of 10,600 currently uncharacterized genes. The objective of this software application is to direct gene functional discovery and design of new experiments by providing plant biologists with contextual information on the expression of genes. The database and analysis toolbox is available as a community resource at https://www.genevestigator.ethz.ch.

Stress induced and nuclear localized HIPP26 from Arabidopsis thaliana interacts via its heavy metal associated domain with the drought stress related zinc finger transcription factor ATHB29

TL;DR: Experiments with modified HIPP26 indicate that the isoprenylation plays a role in the spatial distribution in the nucleus, and interaction of different members of the HIPP family with related zinc finger transcription factors revealed a specific interaction of ATHB29 with several HIPP proteins.

The Puf family of RNA-binding proteins in plants: phylogeny, structural modeling, activity and subcellular localization

TL;DR: The Puf family of RNA-binding proteins in plants consists of a greater number of members than any other model species studied to date, which suggests that these proteins may be involved in a wide range of post-transcriptional regulatory events that are important in providing plants with the ability to respond rapidly to changes in environmental conditions and throughout development.

Lanosterol biosynthesis in plants.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstructions reveal that lanosterol synthases are broadly distributed in eudicots but evolved independently from those in animals and fungi, and novel catalytic motifs establish that plant lanosterl synthases comprise a third catalytically distinct class of lanosterols synthase.

Arabidopsis FAB1/PIKfyve Proteins Are Essential for Development of Viable Pollen

TL;DR: Genetic transmission analysis revealed that failure to generate double mutant lines was entirely due to inviability of pollen carrying mutant alleles of both FAB1A and FAB 1B, demonstrating a crucial role for PtdIns(3,5)P2 in modulating the dynamics of vacuolar rearrangement essential for successful pollen development.

Mining the Arabidopsis thaliana genome for highly-divergent seven transmembrane receptors

TL;DR: To identify divergent seven-transmembrane receptor (7TMR) candidates from the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, multiple protein classification methods were combined, including both alignment-based and alignment-free classifiers, which resolved problems in optimally training individual classifiers using limited and divergent samples, and increased stringency for candidate proteins.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

Gene Expression Omnibus: NCBI gene expression and hybridization array data repository

TL;DR: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data and provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submission, storage and retrieval of heterogeneous data sets from high-power gene expression and genomic hybridization experiments.

Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: This is the first complete genome sequence of a plant and provides the foundations for more comprehensive comparison of conserved processes in all eukaryotes, identifying a wide range of plant-specific gene functions and establishing rapid systematic ways to identify genes for crop improvement.

Expression monitoring by hybridization to high density oligonucleotide arrays

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for monitoring the expression levels of a multiplicity of genes by hybridizing a nucleic acid sample to a high density array of oligonucleotide probes and quantifying the hybridized nucleic acids in the array.

Hierarchical Organization of Modularity in Metabolic Networks

TL;DR: It is shown that the metabolic networks of 43 distinct organisms are organized into many small, highly connected topologic modules that combine in a hierarchical manner into larger, less cohesive units, with their number and degree of clustering following a power law.
