Bioactive gibberellins (GAs) are phytohormones that regulate growth and development throughout the life cycle of plants. DELLA proteins conserved repressors modulate all aspects GA responses. These GA-signaling nuclear localized likely function as transcriptional regulators. Recent studies demonstrated GA, upon binding to its receptor, derepresses signaling pathway by directly targeting them for rapid degradation via ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Therefore, elucidating events immediately...
The diterpenoid phytohormone gibberellin (GA) controls diverse developmental processes throughout the plant life cycle. DELLA proteins are master growth repressors that function immediately downstream of GA receptor to inhibit signaling. By doing so, DELLAs also play pivotal roles as integrators internal signals from multiple hormone pathways and external cues. likely nuclear transcriptional regulators, which interact with other transcription factors modulate expression GA-responsive genes....
Abstract The plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA) is important for many aspects of and development. Although most genes encoding enzymes at each step the GA biosynthetic pathway have been cloned, their regulation less well understood. To assess how up-regulation early steps affects overall, we examined transgenic Arabidopsis plants that overexpress either AtCPS or AtKS both. These encode ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase (CPS) ent-kaurene synthase, which catalyze first two committed in...
We surveyed faculty in the biology departments of US institutions higher education to compare experience and training valued by at hiring with most graduate students receive. Our data show that associate, baccalaureate, master's value teaching skills more highly than research skills. In contrast, doctoral place a on ability publish obtain outside funding. These findings provide quantitative qualitative insight into discrepancies between values those who train expectations likely hire these...
Evolutionary theory is central to the biological sciences, and critical aspects of everyday life, yet a significant proportion Americans reject evolution. Our study sets out examine role second year college general education course in affecting students' acceptance We report three years data using Measure Acceptance Theory Evolution (MATE) instrument, show that students make small sometimes statistically gains over semester. found no evidence including evolution topics coursework caused an...
The initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic changed nature course delivery from largely in-person to exclusively remote, thus disrupting well-established pedagogy Genomics Education Partnership (GEP; https://www.thegep.org). However, our web-based research adapted well remote learning environment. As usual, students who engaged in GEP's Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) received digital projects based on genetic information within assembled
