Regulation of floral senescence in Arabidopsis by coordinated action of CONSTANS and jasmonate signaling
In Arabidopsis, photoperiodic flowering is controlled by the hub gene CONSTANS (CO), while floral organ senescence is regulated by the jasmonates (JAs). As both processes are chronologically ordered, it remains unknown whether there are common regulators of both...
The Role of Mre Factors and Cell Division in Peptidoglycan Growth in the Multicellular Cyanobacterium Anabaena
Bacteria in general serve two main tasks: cell growth and division. Both processes include peptidoglycan extension to allow cell expansion and to form the poles of the daughter cells, respectively. The cyanobacterium Anabaen aforms filaments of communicated cells in...
Unveiling the underlying molecular basis of astaxanthin accumulation in Haematococcus through integrative metabolomic-transcriptomic analysis
Astaxanthin is a valuable and highly demanded ketocarotenoid pigment, for which the chlorophycean microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is an outstanding natural source. Although information on astaxanthin accumulation in H. pluvialis has substantially advanced in recent...
EAR domain-containing transcription factors trigger PRC2-mediated chromatin marking in Arabidopsis
PcG (polycomb group) complexes ensure that every cell in an organism expresses the genes needed at a particular stage, time, or condition. However, it is still not fully understood how PcG complexes PRC1 and PRC2 are recruited to target genes in plants. Recent...
