Genetic Interactions and Molecular Evolution of the Duplicated Genes ICARUS2 and ICARUS1 Help Arabidopsis Plants Adapt to Different Ambient TemperaturesGenetic and functional analyses of the duplicated genes ICARUS2 and ICARUS1 in Arabidopsis demonstrate that their natural variation interacts to regulate thermal developmental plasticity.
Maize VKS1 Regulates Mitosis and Cytokinesis During Early Endosperm DevelopmentA kinesin-14 motor encoded by Vks1 regulates mitosis and cytokinesis during early maize endosperm development and deformities within vks1 endosperms differ, thereby resulting in varied kernel sizes.
OsSPL3, an SBP-Domain Protein, Regulates Crown Root Development in RiceOsSPL3/OsSPL12, target genes of OsmiR156, positively regulate OsMADS50 and thereby regulate crown root development in rice.
Basic LEUCINE ZIPPER TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR67 Transactivates DELAY OF GERMINATION1 to Establish Primary Seed Dormancy in ArabidopsisBasic LEUCINE ZIPPER TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR67 acts downstream of LEAFY COTYLEDON1 to induce DELAY OF GERMINATION1 expression during Arabidopsis seed maturation and to establish primary dormancy.
A Functional Allele of CsFUL1 Regulates Fruit Length through Repressing CsSUP and Inhibiting Auxin Transport in CucumberA functional allele of FRUITFULL MADS-box (CsFUL1) gene regulates fruit length by inhibiting the activity of CsSUP and auxin transporters CsPIN1/7 in cucumber.
An RNA Chaperone–Like Protein Plays Critical Roles in Chloroplast mRNA Stability and Translation in Arabidopsis and MaizeAn RNA-chaperone-like protein stabilizes 3ʹ processed transcripts of photosynthetic electron transfer B (petB) and stimulates the translation of petD and petA in the chloroplasts of vascular plants.
A Subsidiary Cell-Localized Glucose Transporter Promotes Stomatal Conductance and PhotosynthesisMaize subsidiary cell-specific glucose transporter CST1 mediates the feedback-regulation of photosynthesis by photoassimilates at the grain-filling stage.
Cytochrome b5 Is an Obligate Electron Shuttle Protein for Syringyl Lignin Biosynthesis in ArabidopsisArabidopsis cytochrome b5 isoform D physically interacts with monolignol biosynthetic cytochrome P450s and is specifically required for syringyl lignin biosynthesis in the cell wall.
The Ca2+ Sensor SCaBP3/CBL7 Modulates Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase Activity and Promotes Alkali Tolerance in ArabidopsisThe Ca2+ sensor SCaBP3 promotes the self-inhibition of plasma membrane H+-ATPase and is involved in the response to alkaline stress in Arabidopsis.
