The common transition from out-crossing to self-fertilization in plants decreases effective population size. This is expected to result in a reduced efficacy of natural selection and in increased rates of protein evolution in selfing plants compared with their outcrossing congeners. Prior analyses, based on a very limited number of genes, detected no differences between the rates of protein evo...

plant tissue culture techniques are used as basic requirement of common plant transformation systems. in most cases of plant transformation, a reproducible regeneration protocol is the limiting step due to long time lasting, specialized facilities and well experienced persons. furthermore, tissue culture procedures induce somaclonal variation among regenerated transgenic plants. therefore, rece...

Gene regulatory pathways converge at the level of transcription, where interactions among regulatory genes and between regulators and target genes result in the establishment of spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression. The growing identification of direct target genes for key transcription factors (TFs) through traditional and high-throughput experimental approaches has facilitated the eluci...

Abstract This article describes the genome browser of plant Arabidopsis thaliana as an inspiration for creation geometric artworks developed with code. Genome browsers are bioinformatic tools that life scientists use to access and visualize sequence data from species interest. The presented inspired by provide aesthetic interpretations genes their genomic contexts individual artist alternativel...

Biologically, fruits are defined as seed-bearing reproductive structures in angiosperms that develop from the ovary. The fertilization, development and maturation of fruits are crucial for plant reproduction and are precisely regulated by intrinsic genetic regulatory factors. In this study, we used Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism and attempted to identify novel genes related to fruit-a...

Trichoderma is a genus of filamentous fungi with highly beneficial species for use in agriculture due to its ability combat disease, increase growth, tolerance abiotic stresses and resistance biotic plants. To do this, must effectively colonize the roots plant, being able overcome existing plant defenses. In this sense, glucosinolates (GSLs) are group secondary metabolites present cruciferous d...
