Maize leafbladeless1 (lbl1) encodes a key component in the trans-acting short-interfering RNA (ta-siRNA) biogenesis pathway. Correlated with great diversity ta-siRNAs and targets they regulate, phenotypes conditioned by mutants perturbing this small pathway vary extensively across species. Mutations lbl1 result severe developmental defects, giving rise to plants radial, abaxialized leaves. To investigate basis for phenotype, we compared content between wild-type seedling apices. We show that...
UV-B is a high-energy component of the solar radiation perceived by plant and induces number modifications in growth development, including changes flowering time. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these are largely unknown. In present work, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis plants grown under white light supplemented with show delay time, this developmental reprogramming mediated UVR8 photoreceptor. Using combination gene expression analyses irradiation different mutants, gained...
Abstract Background Small RNAs regulate a wide variety of processes in plants, from organ development to both biotic and abiotic stress response. Being master regulators genetic networks, their biogenesis action is fundamental aspect characterize order understand plant growth development. Three main gene families are critical components RNA silencing: DICER-LIKE (DCL), ARGONAUTE (AGO) RNA-DEPENDENT POLYMERASE (RDR). Even though they have been characterized other species, there no information...
The initiation of flowering is a highly coordinated process that requires synchronization endogenous plant developmental program with environmental signals through complex interplay genetic regulatory networks. shift from vegetative to reproductive stage controlled by multiple pathways, which together other participate in the orchestration time regulation. Collectively, different pathways converge modulate expression key floral integrator genes, subsequently trigger genes related...
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a widely utilized model system with myriad applications in terms of industrial, biotechnology, and synthetic biology purposes. One such application the biosynthesis commercially medically important bioactive compounds their precursors, which oftentimes require culturing conditions at low temperatures to optimize production yield rather than cellular fitness. To lend insight into genetic modifications that may assist this goal, work focuses on...
Abstract Water limitation represents one of the major threats to agricultural production, which often leads drought stress and results in compromised growth, development yield crop species. Drought tolerance has been intensively studied search potential targets for molecular approaches improvement. However, adaptive traits are complex, our understanding physiological genetic basis is still incomplete. The miR394‐LCR pathway a conserved regulatory module shown participate several aspects...
Fruit quality and sensorial aspects are key determinants for costumer selection satisfaction. Main characteristics include texture, color, aroma taste, which defined by a wide range of molecular processes that will ultimately determine fruit general appearance. The production cultivars with optimized metabolite contents is increasingly being explored, in particular through the study gene regulatory networks modulate metabolism these compounds. There several types small RNAs originating from...

Abstract Several Amaranthus hybridus L. biotypes present single and triple amino acid substitutions in EPSPS (5‐enolypyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase). In resistant tolerant species to glyphosate, differential susceptibility alterations the sequence could cause modifications their morphological–structural characteristics, an issue that is unknown for of A. . The aim work was determine presence mutations growth form four this weed from north‐central Argentina. To carry out this, a...
