NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors are important regulator in abiotic stress and plant development. However, knowledge concerning the functions of plant NAC TFs functioning in stress tolerance and the underlying molecular basis are still limited. In this study, we report functional characterization of the NAC TF, PbeNAC1, isolated from Pyrus betulifolia. PbeNAC1 were greatly induced...

Previous research has shown that the selective remembering of a speaker and the resulting silences can cause forgetting of related, but unmentioned information by a listener (Cuc, Koppel, & Hirst, 2007). Guided by more recent work that demonstrated both detrimental and beneficial effects of selective memory retrieval in individuals, the present research explored the effects of selective remembe...

The NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC (NAC) are plant-specific transcription factors that regulate multiple aspects of plant growth and development and plant response to environmental stimuli. We report here the identification of NTM1-LIKE8 (NTL8), a membrane-associated NAC transcription factor, as a novel regulator of trichome formation in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). From an activation-tagged Arab...

Shoot branching is a major determinant of variation in plant stature. Branches, which form secondary growth axes, originate from stem cells activated in leaf axils. The initial steps by which axillary meristems (AMs) are specified and their stem cells organized are still poorly understood. We identified gain- and loss-of-function alleles at the Arabidopsis thaliana REGULATOR OF AXILLARY MERISTE...

Una de las problemáticas que se presentan en la universidad costa (CUC) los salones bloques 11 y 12, trata inconvenientes para abrir puertas desde el exterior, por estudiantes llegan tarde o desean entrar después haber salido del salón ya sea ir al baño, recibir una llamada, su defecto, cualquier otro inconveniente. Para puerta ingresar necesita ayuda, ocasionando dificultad concentración prese...

Drought and salinity are major abiotic stresses to crop production. Here, we show that overexpression of stress responsive gene SNAC1 (STRESS-RESPONSIVE NAC 1) significantly enhances drought resistance in transgenic rice (22-34% higher seed setting than control) in the field under severe drought stress conditions at the reproductive stage while showing no phenotypic changes or yield penalty. Th...

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has enabled a lot of advancements in industrial automation, aviation, tactile networking, and other ad-hoc networking applications. The bounded latency, reliability, self-recovering mechanisms for network are some the core attributes TSN architecture. reliability bench-marking given architecture, when done with simulators, will not match that hardware systems. Bu...

NAC (NAM, no apical meristem, ATAF and CUC) is one of the largest gene families plant-specific transcription factors (TF). TFs have immense involvement in plant growth developmental processes particular importance enhancing resistance to multiple abiotic stresses. members unique structural makeup a range biological activities. Despite their enormous roles plants, comprehensive study on identifi...

Responses to biotic stress in plants lead to dramatic reprogramming of gene expression, favoring stress responses at the expense of normal cellular functions. Transcription factors are master regulators of gene expression at the transcriptional level, and controlling the activity of these factors alters the transcriptome of the plant, leading to metabolic and phenotypic changes in response to s...

Although the DNA methyltransferase 2 family is highly conserved during evolution and recent reports suggested a dual specificity with stronger activity on transfer RNA (tRNA) than DNA substrates, the biological function is still obscure. We show that the Dictyostelium discoideum Dnmt2-homologue DnmA is an active tRNA methyltransferase that modifies C38 in tRNA(Asp(GUC)) in vitro and in vivo. By...
