Previous studies pointed out that species richness and high density values within the Leguminosae in Brazilian forest fragments affected by fire could be due, at least partially, to the high incidence of root sprouting in this family. However, there are few studies of the factors that induce root sprouting in woody plants after disturbance. We investigated the bud formation on root cuttings, an...

Bud dormancy in perennial plants is indispensable to survival over winter and to regrowth and development in the following year. However, the molecular pathways of endo-dormancy induction, maintenance, and release are still unclear, especially in fruit crops. To identify genes with roles in regulating endo-dormancy, 30 MIKC(C)-type MADS-box genes were identified in the pear genome and character...

Flower induction in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is regulated by complex gene networks that involve multiple signal pathways to ensure flower bud formation in the next year, but the molecular determinants of apple flower induction are still unknown. In this research, transcriptomic profiles from differentiating buds allowed us to identify genes potentially involved in signaling pathways that ...

The path to dormancy induction, maintenance, and release is a continuum and has been the topic of thousands of research articles to date. It would be an impossible task and indeed presumptuous of us to imagine that we could review all the research conducted on dormancy in the past century in this article. The multiple and complex nature of the dormancy phenomenon would require not one review bu...

This topic with the examples of budding bear series guided by sustainable design, in three dimensional animation role comprehensive analysis comparison, induction and summary, hope through design to promote application development, under artistic expression innovation concept, for study provide theoretical basis. article first 3 d animation, example, role, introduce bud content, were discussed ...

due to physiological disorder, primary bud necrosis (pbn) in grapevine is a great problem in vineyards, resulting in reduced yield. primary bud necrosis (pbn) is physiological disorder resulting in the death of the primary bud. the present study conducted through a light on this critical problem in a vineyard of cisakht region. a factorial experiment with three levels of cold temperature (-10, ...

The development of the mammalian kidney, or metanephros, occurs in a region of posterior intermediate mesoderm by inductive interactions between the metanephric mesenchyme and the ureteric bud epithelium (Kuure et al., 2000; Lechner and Dressler, 1997; Schedl and Hastie, 2000). Induction of the mesenchyme by signals emanating from the bud initiates the aggregation of the mesenchyme and the conv...

Limb muscles derive from pax3 expressing precursor cells that migrate from the hypaxial somite into the developing limb bud. Once there they begin to differentiate and express muscle determination genes such as MyoD. This process is regulated by a combination of inductive or inhibitory signals including Fgf18, retinoic acid, HGF, Notch and IGFs. IGFs are well known to affect late stages of musc...

PURPOSE Pax3cre-mediated deletion of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (Fgfr2) broadly in renal and urinary tract mesenchyme led to ureteric bud (UB) induction defects and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), although the mechanisms were unclear. Here, we investigated whether Fgfr2 acts specifically in peri-Wolffian duct stroma (ST) to regulate UB induction and development of VUR and the mechanisms o...
