Future Perspectives in Plant Biology The Perception of Cytokinin: A Story 50 Years in the Making
In 1913, Gottlieb Haberlandt found that phloem exudates from various plant species had the ability to stimulate cell division in wounded potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers (Haberlandt, 1913). These studies implied the existence of a soluble factor(s) that could promote cell division in plant cells. In the 1950s, work primarily by Carlos Miller in Folke Skoog’s laboratory identified cytokinin as ...
متن کاملA synthetic biology challenge: making cells compute.
Advances in biology and engineering have enabled the reprogramming of cells with well-defined functions, leading to the emergence of synthetic biology. Early successes in this nascent field suggest its potential to impact diverse areas. Here, we examine the feasibility of engineering circuits for cell-based computation. We illustrate the basic concepts by describing the mapping of several compu...

Background: The EXO (EXORDIUM) gene was identified as a potential mediator of brassinosteroid (BR)-promoted growth. It is part of a gene family with eight members in Arabidopsis. EXO gene expression is under control of BR, and EXO overexpression promotes shoot and root growth. In this study, the consequences of loss of EXO function are described. Results: The exo loss of function mutant showed ...

Most organisms have daily rhythms set by environmental conditions such as light. Plants in particular are very sensitive to changes in their environment, responding to such changes with altered growth and development. At a molecular level, changes in the environment are detected and processed through an internal circadian clock. At the core of all circadian clocks is a transcriptional feedback ...

Plant biologists have long sought the identity of florigen, the signal that travels from the leaves to the shoot apical meristem to induce flowering. Two recent reports conclude that the elusive florigen is FLOWERING LOCUS (FT) in the model plant Arabiodpsis thaliana (Corbesier et al., 2007) and that its homolog in rice is Hd3a (Tamaki et al., 2007). Although FT is known to promote flowering an...
