Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of terrestrial biomass. Composed xylem, it arises from one side vascular cambium, a bifacial stem cell niche that also produces phloem on opposing side. It is currently unknown which molecular factors endow cambium identity. Here we show TRACHEARY ELEMENT DIFFERENTIATION INHIBITORY FACTOR (TDIF) ligand-activated PHLOEM INTERCALATED WITH XYLEM (PXY) receptors promote expression CAMBIUM-EXPRESSED AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (CAIL) transcription to define identity in
Both tracheary elements and fiber cells undergo programmed cell death (PCD) during xylem development. In this study we investigated the role of papain-like cysteine protease CEP1 in PCD Arabidopsis. was located wall cells, expression levels inflorescence stems increased stem maturation. cep1 mutant plants exhibited delayed growth reduced number compared to wild-type plants. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that organelle degradation PCD, thicker secondary walls were present...
Abstract Retinoic acid receptors (RARs), including RARα, RARβ and RARγ, serve as essential nuclear that act transcription factors activated by ligands. They predominantly regulate gene expression affect various biological processes, differentiation. Their dysregulation is implicated in cancers other diseases, notably acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), where the leukemia (PML)‒RARα fusion protein disrupts normal granulocyte maturation. All‐trans retinoic acid, which promotes degradation of...
Summary In plant development, key receptor kinases are often active in disparate cell types, with each requiring vastly different signalling outputs. The ERECTA (ER) kinase and its homologs ERL1 ERL2 exemplify this pleiotropy. Arabidopsis , they influence stomatal patterning, shoot meristem function, ovule morphogenesis, xylem fiber differentiation, division the vascular cambium 1–6 . Such diverse expression functionality raises question of how ER can specify such distinct behaviours. One...
A floc-forming bacterial strain, designated HKLI-1 T , was isolated from the activated sludge of a municipal sewage treatment plant in Hong Kong SAR, PR China. Cells this strain were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped motile by means single polar flagellum. Growth occurred at 18–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 5.5–9.0 7.5) with 0–8.0 % (w/v) NaCl 1–1.5 %) concentration. The major fatty acids C 16 : 0 summed feature 3 (C 1 ω7 c and/or ω6 ). lipid...
Studying the developmental genetics of plant organs requires following gene expression in specific tissues. To facilitate this, we have developed dual anatomy lines, which incorporate a red plasma membrane marker alongside fluorescent reporter for interest same vector. Here, adapted GreenGate cloning vectors to create two destination showing strong marking cell membranes either whole root or specifically lateral roots. This system can also be used both embryos and seedlings. As proof...
INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH The regulation of signalling capacity plays a pivotal role in setting developmental patterns both plants and animals (1). hormone auxin is key signal for plant growth development that acts through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) transcription factors (2). A subset these ARFs comprises transcriptional activators target genes response to auxin, are essential regulating throughout lifecycle (3). While ARF show tissue-specific expression patterns, it unknown how their...

Auxin regulates plant growth and development through the transcription factors of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) gene family. ARF7 is one five activators that bind DNA elicit downstream transcriptional responses. In roots, root growth, gravitropism redundantly with ARF19, lateral organogenesis. this study we functionally analyzed cis-regulation, using different non-coding sequences locus to drive GFP. We show constructs containing first intron led increased levels mRNA GFP signal in tip but...
