Fruit set is an essential process to ensure successful sexual plant reproduction. The development of the flower into a fruit actively repressed in absence pollination. However, some cultivars from few species are able develop seedless fruits overcoming standard restriction unpollinated ovaries growth. We report here identification tomato hydra mutant that produces (parthenocarpic) fruits. Seedless production plants linked both male and female sporocyte development. HYDRA gene therefore for...
Plants and insects have coexisted for million years evolved a set of interactions which affect both organisms at different levels. developed various morphological biochemical adaptations to cope with herbivores attacks. However, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) has become the major pest threatening tomato crops worldwide without appropriated management it can cause production losses between 80 100%. The aim this study was investigate in vivo effect serine proteinase...
SUMMARY Legumes have unique features, such as compound inflorescences and a complex floral ontogeny. Thus, the study of regulatory genes in these species during inflorescence development is essential to understand their role evolutionary origin developmental novelties. The SUPERMAN ( SUP ) gene encodes C2H2 zinc‐finger transcriptional repressor that regulates organ number third fourth whorls Arabidopsis thaliana . In this work, we present functional characterization Medicago truncatula MtSUP...
The tapetum is a specialized layer of cells within the anther, adjacent to sporogenous tissue. During its short life, it provides nutrients, molecules and materials pollen mother microsporocytes, being essential during callose degradation wall formation. interaction between in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) plants, despite importance for breeding purposes, poorly understood. To investigate this process, gene editing was used generate loss-of-function mutants that showed complete specific...
Redox homeostasis has been linked to proper anther and pollen development. Accordingly, plant cells have developed several Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-scavenging mechanisms maintain the redox balance. Hemopexins constitute one of these preventing heme-associated oxidative stress in animals, fungi, plants. Pisum sativum ENDOTHECIUM 1 (PsEND1 ) is a pea anther-specific gene that encodes protein containing four hemopexin domains. We report functional characterization PsEND1 identification its...
The pathogenic bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium elicits a variety of genetic programs to adapt stress conditions encountered within hostile environments such as host phagocytes and preserved food.In this work, differential display (DD) methodology was used investigate the effect one month starvation in salty microcosm (0.5 M NaCl) on transcript profiling LT2 strain. cDNA fragments resulting from differentially expressed mRNA were eluted gel, re-amplified, cloned, then...
Enzymes play a key role in insect-plant relationships.For better understanding of these interactions, we analyzed Tuta absoluta digestive enzymes.Here, describe detailed protocol for the detection trypsin and papain-like enzymes larvae by enzyme histochemistry.This assay uses frozen unfixed samples to avoid loss enzymatic activity.We also quantification at different developmental instars.
ABSTRACT The tapetum is a specialized layer of cells within the anther adjacent to sporogenic tissue. During its short life, it provides nutrients, molecules and materials pollen mother microsporocytes being essential during callose degradation wall formation. However, acquisition tapetal cell identity in tomato plants process still poorly understood. We report here identification characterization SlTPD1 ( Solanum lycopersicum TPD1 ), gene specifically required for development plants. Gene...
