As Arabidopsis flowers mature, specialized cells within the anthers undergo meiosis, leading to production of haploid microspores that differentiate into mature pollen grains, each containing two sperm for double fertilization. During pollination, grains are dispersed from stigma subsequent Transcriptomic studies have identified a large number genes expressed over course male reproductive development and functional characterization some revealed their involvement in floral meristem...
Heat stress (HS) is a major abiotic that negatively impacts crop yields across the globe. Plants respond to elevated temperatures by changing gene expression, mediated transcription factors (TFs) functioning enhance HS tolerance. The involvement of Group I bZIP TFs in heat response (HSR) not known. In this study, bZIP18 and bZIP52 were investigated for their possible role HSR. Localization experiments revealed nuclear accumulation following stress, which was found be triggered...
Symbiosis involves responses that maintain the plant host and symbiotic partner's genetic program; yet these cues are far from elucidated. Here we describe effects of lumichrome, a flavin identified Rhizobium spp., applied to lotus (Lotus japonicus) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Combined transcriptional metabolite analyses suggest both species shared common pathways were altered in response this application under replete, sterile conditions. These included genes involved symbiosis, as well...
The severe shortage of black chartered accountants (CAs) in South Africa highlights the need for equity development future accountants. However, despite transformation initiatives that had already been introduced by then, at end 2001, CAs were still grossly underrepresented membership African Institute Chartered Accountants (SAICA). Furthermore, trainee experienced cultural and social alienation, hostility mistrust their ability, resulting not reaching full potential. This article...
When the FASB adopted an impairment test approach in 2001, rather than amortisation, accounting for goodwill arising from acquisition took a step new direction. The IASB, seeking international convergence and global harmonisation, also implemented this change when it issued IFRS 3 2004. Moving away amortisation towards involves radical change. research on which paper is based was undertaken to examine these two very different practices treatment of assess possible impact that transition one...
The treatment of the credit difference that arises from an acquisition took a step in new direction South Africa with adoption accounting standard, namely AC 131, which is based on international standard IAS 22. It now called negative goodwill. According to rules contained it be classified as asset and recognised income. research this paper based, was undertaken examine nature goodwill against background practices regarding At present these differ significantly differences represent...
