Brassinosteroid control of sex determination in maize.
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones that regulate growth and development. They share structural similarities with animal steroids, which are decisive factors of sex determination. BRs are known to regulate morphogenesis and environmental stress responses, but their involvement in sex determination in plants has been only speculative. We show that BRs control sex determination in maize rev...
متن کاملThe growth cone gets a grip
How big is your organelle? imple questions in cell biology seldom have simple answers, but on page 405, Marshall and Rosenbaum provide evidence for a strikingly straightforward mechanism for controlling the sizes of organelles. Determination of flagellar length in Chlamydomonas provides a tractable experimental system for studying organelle size S regulation, and Marshall and Rosenbaum found th...
متن کاملBAK1 and BKK1 Regulate Brassinosteroid-Dependent Growth and Brassinosteroid-Independent Cell-Death Pathways
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are phytosteroid hormones controlling various physiological processes critical for normal growth and development. BRs are perceived by a protein complex containing two transmembrane receptor kinases, BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) and BRI1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (BAK1) [1-3]. BRI1 null mutants exhibit a dwarfed stature with epinastic leaves, delayed senescence...
متن کاملPreferential attachment mechanism of complex network growth: "rich-gets-richer" or "fit-gets-richer"?
We analyze the growth models for complex networks including preferential attachment (A.-L. Barabasi and R. Albert, Science 286, 509 (1999)) and fitness model (Caldarelli et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 258702 (2002)) and demonstrate that, under very general conditions, these two models yield the same dynamic equation of network growth, dK dt = A(t)(K +K0), where A(t) is the aging constant, K is th...
متن کاملControl of specific gene expression by gibberellin and brassinosteroid.
We identified a recessive, brassinolide-insensitive mutant caused by a deletion allele (bri1-201) of the brassinosteroid (BR) receptor BRI1. The bri1-201 mutant displayed altered expression levels of genes differentially regulated by gibberellin (GA). RNA-blot analysis revealed that BR and GA antagonistically regulate the accumulation of mRNAs of the GA-responsive GASA1 gene, as well as the GA-...
