Conversion of leaves into petals in Arabidopsis
More than 200 years ago, Goethe proposed that each of the distinct flower organs represents a modified leaf [1]. Support for this hypothesis has come from genetic studies, which have identified genes required for flower organ identity. These genes have been incorporated into the widely accepted ABC model of flower organ identity, a model that appears generally applicable to distantly related eu...
متن کاملConversion of volatile alcohols into their glucosides in Arabidopsis
Exposure of tomato plants to volatile chemicals emitted from common cutworm (Spodoptera litura)-infested conspecifics led to accumulation of the glycoside, (Z)-3-hexenyl vicianoside. Accumulation of (Z)-3-hexenyl vicianoside in the exposed plants has adverse impacts on the performance of the common cutworms. The aglycon of (Z)-3-hexenyl vicianoside is derived from airborne (Z)-3-hexenol emitted...
متن کاملMutations of Arabidopsis thaliana that transform leaves into cotyledons.
We describe mutations of three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana-extra cotyledon1 (xtc1), extra cotyledon2 (xtc2), and altered meristem programming1 (amp1)-that transform leaves into cotyledons. In all three of these mutations, this transformation is associated with a change in the timing of events in embryogenesis. xtc1 and xtc2 delay the morphogenesis of the embryo proper at the globular-to-heart...
متن کاملConformal growth of Arabidopsis leaves.
I show that Arabidopsis leaf growth can be described with good precision by a conformal map, where expansion is locally isotropic (the same in all directions) but the amount of expansion can vary with position. Data obtained by tracking leaf growth over time can be reproduced with almost 90% accuracy by such a map. The growth follows a Möbius transformation, which is a type of conformal map tha...
متن کاملCatalytic conversion of waste low density polyethylene into fuel oil
Waste Low density polyethylenes (LDPE) represent a source of energy and valuablechemicals, were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. Calciumcarbide was used as a catalyst to explore its effect on pyrolysis product distribution. The effect oftemperature, amount of catalyst and time on the yields of the pyrolysed products wasinvestigated. The effect of catalyst o...
