    Genomic Changes in Resynthesized Brassica napus and Their Effect on Gene Expression and Phenotype
    Robert T. Gaeta, J. Chris Pires, Federico Iniguez-Luy, Enrique Leon, Thomas C. Osborn
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3403-3417; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054346

    Homoeologous chromosome rearrangements are a major mechanism contributing to changes in gene expression and phenotypic variation in newly resynthesized Brassica napus allopolyploids. These data suggest that homoeologous rearrangements are an important early evolutionary force in B. napus leading to rapid genetic and phenotypic divergence.

    Genome-Wide Analysis of mRNA Decay Rates and Their Determinants in Arabidopsis thaliana
    Reena Narsai, Katharine A. Howell, A. Harvey Millar, Nicholas O'Toole, Ian Small, James Whelan
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3418-3436; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055046

    The decay rates of transcripts in Arabidopsis cells were found to be affected by several features of the transcript, revealing multilevel regulation of transcript stability. Similar changes in transcript abundance by transcriptional inhibition and various abiotic stresses revealed that inhibition of transcription could be a determinant of changes in transcript abundance during environmental stress.

    Arabidopsis FIERY1, XRN2, and XRN3 Are Endogenous RNA Silencing Suppressors
    Isabelle Gy, Virginie Gasciolli, Dominique Lauressergues, Jean-Benoit Morel, Julie Gombert, Florence Proux, Caroline Proux, Hervé Vaucheret, Allison C. Mallory
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3451-3461; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055319

    Posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a eukaryotic defense mechanism against foreign invaders of the genome. This study identifies three proteins, XRN2, XRN3, and FRY1, as PTGS suppressors. FRY1 likely suppresses PTGS by regulating the XRNs, which in turn regulate the accumulation of RNAs that trigger PTGS. This work also points to the essential role of XRN3 during development.

    PRR3 Is a Vascular Regulator of TOC1 Stability in the Arabidopsis Circadian Clock
    Alessia Para, Eva M. Farré, Takato Imaizumi, José L. Pruneda-Paz, Franklin G. Harmon, Steve A. Kay
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3462-3473; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054775

    An oscillator that resonates with the diurnal cycle is crucial for optimal plant growth. Here, it is shown that the Arabidopsis regulator PRR3 protects the core clock component TOC1 from degradation. PRR3 expression and function appear more prominent in the vasculature, suggesting a mechanism that fine-tunes the plant clock in this tissue, a parallel to the well-known tissue-specific clocks of animals.

    VPS9a, the Common Activator for Two Distinct Types of Rab5 GTPases, Is Essential for the Development of Arabidopsis thaliana
    Tatsuaki Goh, Wakana Uchida, Satoko Arakawa, Emi Ito, Tomoko Dainobu, Kazuo Ebine, Masaki Takeuchi, Ken Sato, Takashi Ueda, Akihiko Nakano
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3504-3515; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.053876

    The activation of Rab GTPases must be regulated spatiotemporally, which is critical to fulfill their functions correctly. This study has identified an activating factor for Rab GTPases in Arabidopsis, named VPS9a, which equally activates all three Rab5 members of Arabidopsis. VPS9a was found to be essential for various plant functions, including embryogenesis, organ formation, and cytokinesis.

    The Homeotic Protein AGAMOUS Controls Late Stamen Development by Regulating a Jasmonate Biosynthetic Gene in Arabidopsis
    Toshiro Ito, Kian-Hong Ng, Tze-Soo Lim, Hao Yu, Elliot M. Meyerowitz
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3516-3529; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055467

    Timed activation of the floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG) shows that AG has stage-specific functions throughout stamen development, including anther maturation and filament elongation in late stamen organogenesis. It is further shown that AG coordinates late stamen development through the direct transcriptional regulation of a catalytic enzyme of the lipid-derived phytohormone jasmonic acid.

    Arabidopsis MALE STERILITY1 Encodes a PHD-Type Transcription Factor and Regulates Pollen and Tapetum Development
    Takuya Ito, Noriko Nagata, Yoshu Yoshiba, Masaru Ohme-Takagi, Hong Ma, Kazuo Shinozaki
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3549-3562; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054536

    MS1 encodes a nuclear factor required for pollen development. Through the use of fusion with a transcriptional repression domain, it is shown that MS1 is a transcriptional activator. Putative direct target genes of MS1 are identified using a dexamethasone induction system. It is proposed that MS1 is involved in transcriptional regulation crucial for postmeiotic tapetum and pollen development.

    Cell-Fate Switch of Synergid to Egg Cell in Arabidopsis eostre Mutant Embryo Sacs Arises from Misexpression of the BEL1-Like Homeodomain Gene BLH1
    Gabriela Carolina Pagnussat, Hee-Ju Yu, Venkatesan Sundaresan
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3578-3592; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054890

    The female gametophyte mutant eostre is defective in the establishment of cell fates in the embryo sac, so that a synergid cell can acquire egg cell identity. This study indicates that these defects arise from ectopic activity of BELL-KNOX TALE complexes and that normal development of the Arabidopsis embryo sac requires suppression of their activity that might be mediated by OVATE family proteins.

    Comparison of Petunia inflata S-Locus F-Box Protein (Pi SLF) with Pi SLF–Like Proteins Reveals Its Unique Function in S-RNase–Based Self-Incompatibility
    Zhihua Hua, Xiaoying Meng, Teh-hui Kao
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3593-3609; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.055426

    Biochemical and in vivo studies of Pi SLF and Pi SLF–like proteins demonstrate that, among F-box proteins, Pi SLF has a unique function in controlling pollen behavior in self-incompatibility. These studies also identify a domain of Pi SLF responsible for strong interactions with non-self S-RNases and a potential allele-specific domain negatively regulating the interactions with self S-RNase.

    BIN4, a Novel Component of the Plant DNA Topoisomerase VI Complex, Is Required for Endoreduplication in Arabidopsis
    Christian Breuer, Nicola J. Stacey, Christopher E. West, Yunde Zhao, Joanne Chory, Hirokazu Tsukaya, Yoshitaka Azumi, Anthony Maxwell, Keith Roberts, Keiko Sugimoto-Shirasu
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3655-3668; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054833

    BIN4 encodes a plant-specific, DNA binding protein that acts as a component of the plant DNA topoisomerase VI complex. Loss of BIN4 triggers an ATM- and ATR-dependent DNA damage response in postmitotic cells, and this leads to an early arrest of endoreduplication in Arabidopsis.

    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3669-3691; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054148

    Transgenic poplar, downregulated for a gene involved in lignin biosynthesis, was phenotyped at multiple levels. The data show that in addition to the anticipated lower lignin levels, the xylem unexpectedly had lower levels of hemicelluloses, and the residual lignin incorporated ferulic acid, now to be considered as a new lignin monomer. Chemical pulping of field-grown wood was facilitated.

    Saturated Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acids Promote Cotton Fiber and Arabidopsis Cell Elongation by Activating Ethylene Biosynthesis
    Yong-Mei Qin, Chun-Yang Hu, Yu Pang, Alexander J. Kastaniotis, J. Kalervo Hiltunen, Yu-Xian Zhu
    Plant Cell Nov 2007, 19 (11) 3692-3704; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.107.054437

    It is shown that fatty acids with chain lengths >20, especially saturated C24, stimulate significant elongation growth in both cotton fiber and Arabidopsis root and stem cells. This growth-promoting effect is brought about by an enhanced ethylene biosynthesis and signaling, suggesting that the current paradigm for the mechanism of cell elongation may be reassessed.
