Thlaspi arvense (pennycress) has the potential for domestication as a new oilseed crop. Information from an extensive body of research on related plant species Arabidopsis can be used to greatly speed this process. Genome-scale comparisons in paper documented that pennycress and share similar gene duplication. This finding led hypothesis it should possible isolate Arabidopsis-like mutants pennycress. proved true, forward genetic screens identified floral vegetative were found Arabidopsis....
Microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is the process through which metabolic activity of microorganisms causes carbonate, can result in solidification sediment. In cyanobacteria, MICP thought to occur primarily because cells sequester bicarbonate for photosynthetic process, thereby lowering pH surrounding media. However, these mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we show direct evidence caused by filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena. Anabaena differentiates...
Field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is currently being developed as a new cold-tolerant oilseed crop. In natural populations, pennycress, like many Brassicaceae relatives, can exhibit either winter or spring annual phenotype. Pennycress diploid relative of Arabidopsis thaliana, model species that has been used to study adaptive phenotypes, including flowering time and developmental timing. other species, mutations in negative regulators flowering, FLOWERING LOCUS C FRIGIDA cause the...
Abstract The oilseed species Thlaspi arvense (pennycress) is being domesticated as a new crop that can provide both important ecosystem services and intensify farmland output. Through the use of high throughput sequencing phenotyping, along with classical mutagenesis key traits needed for pennycress domestication have been identified. Domestication identified herein include reduced pod shatter, early maturity, seed glucosinolate levels, improved oil fatty acid content. By taking advantage...
Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of age on vertical jump height and handgrip strength measurements in women. A secondary aim was investigate correlations between strength. Methods Twenty young (21.5 ± 2.8 years) twenty older (67.0 5.5 healthy women participated this study. Handgrip contractions were used assess peak force rate development at different time intervals. Vertical jumps performed a mat. The mat measured based flight time. Results had lower (P < 0.001) = 0.028)...
Photosynthesis is regulated in response to many diverse stimuli including light intensity and wavelength, nutrient availability, temperature prevent formation of reactive oxygen species cell death. However, it has remained a challenge investigate this regulation the context living photosynthetic due heterogeneity inherent batch culture analysis. To overcome obstacle, we utilized long-term, quantitative time-lapse fluorescence microscopy visualize growth subcellular dynamics individual...
Summary - Pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.) is currently being developed as a new cold-season oilseed crop. Like many Brassicaceae, pennycress can exhibit either winter or spring annual phenotype. In Arabidopsis, mutations in negative regulators of flowering, including FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and FRIGIDA cause the transition to habit. The genetics underlying difference between are unknown. Using whole genome sequencing across wild accessions, co-segregation analyses, comparative genomics...
