Sex chromosomes evolved from autosomes many times across the eukaryote phylogeny. Several models have been proposed to explain this transition, some involving male and female sterility mutations linked in a region of suppressed recombination between X Y (or Z/W, U/V) chromosomes. Comparative experimental analysis reference genome assembly for double haploid YY garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) individual implicates separate but genes as responsible sex determination. Dioecy has...
The class B floral homeotic genes from the higher eudicot model systems Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum are involved in specifying identity of petals stamens during flower development. These exist two different types termed DEF- GLO-like genes. proteins encoded by stable functional cell only as heterodimeric complexes a protein. In line with this, heterodimerization is obligate for DNA binding vitro. whose products have to heterodimerize be each other's closest relatives within their genomes....
Illumination for apoptosis: Firefly luciferase connected with a substrate sequence caspase-3 (DEVD) is cyclized by an intein DnaE. When the cyclic expressed in living cells, its activity greatly decreased because of steric effect. Activated cleaves and restored. Quantitative sensing time-dependent cells mice upon extracellular stimuli has been demonstrated (see images).

Dioecy is a plant mating system in which individuals of species are either male or female. Although many flowering plants evolved independently from hermaphroditism to dioecy, the molecular mechanism underlying this transition remains largely unknown. Sex determination dioecious Asparagus officinalis controlled by X and Y chromosomes; female karyotypes XY XX, respectively. Transcriptome analysis A. buds showed that MYB ‐like gene, Male Specific Expression 1 ( MSE1 ), specifically expressed...
Abstract The dynamic activity of the serine/threonine kinase Akt is crucial for regulation diverse cellular functions, but precise spatiotemporal control its remains a critical issue. Herein, we present photo-activatable (PA-Akt) system based on light-inducible protein interaction module Arabidopsis thaliana cryptochrome2 (CRY2) and CIB1. fused to CRY2phr, which minimal light sensitive domain CRY2 (CRY2-Akt), reversibly activated by illumination in several minutes within physiological range...
Abstract Asparagus (Asparagaceae) is a large genus that widely distributed in arid and subarid regions of the Old World. To investigate phylogenetic relationships within this genus, intron petB intergenic region between petD rpoA chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) were sequenced. A strict consensus tree resulting from analysis indicates southern African species comprise potentially paraphyletic assemblage Eurasian are monophyletic. This result suggests originated Africa, progenitor. Moreover, extensive...
Garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) has homochlamydeous flowers. Like Liliaceae plants such as lily and tulip, the perianths of have two whorls almost identical petaloid organs, called tepals. Floral structures these flowers could be explained by a modified ABC model, in which expression class B genes expanded to whorl 1, so that organs 1 2 same structure. In this study, we isolated characterized GLOBOSA-like (AOGLOA AOGLOB), one gene, from asparagus. Southern blot showed AOGLOA...
Abstract Premise Dioecy (separate sexes) has independently evolved numerous times across the angiosperm phylogeny and is recently derived in many lineages. However, our understanding limited regarding evolutionary mechanisms that drive origins of dioecy plants. The recent repeated evolution angiosperms offers an opportunity to make strong inferences about ecological, developmental, molecular factors influencing dioecy, thus sex chromosomes. genus Asparagus (Asparagaceae) emerging model taxon...
We have established an experimental system for mimicking the phenomenon of cool-temperature-induced chlorosis (CTIC) in rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). Rice seedlings were initially grown darkness under cool-temperature conditions and then exposed to light warm follow expression CTIC. Induction CTIC sensitive cultivar (cv Surjamukhi) was bimodally dependent on temperatures experienced during initial growth darkness. maximally induced between 15 17 degrees C. A positive correlation...
