One gene, many proteins: mapping cell-specific alternative splicing in plants (2016)
Journal Article
Swarup, R., Crespi, M., & Bennett, M. J. (2016). One gene, many proteins: mapping cell-specific alternative splicing in plants. Developmental Cell, 39(4), 383-385. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.2016.11.002

Pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) generates protein variants from a single gene that can create novel regulatory opportunities. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Li et al. (2016) present a high-resolution expression map of AS events in Arabidopsi... Read More about One gene, many proteins: mapping cell-specific alternative splicing in plants.

Hybrid vertex-midline modelling of elongated plant organs (2016)
Journal Article
Fozard, J. A., Bennett, M. J., King, J. R., & Jensen, O. E. (2016). Hybrid vertex-midline modelling of elongated plant organs. Interface Focus, 6(5), Article 20160043. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsfs.2016.0043

We describe a method for the simulation of the growth of elongated plant organs, such as seedling roots. By combining a midline representation of the organ on a tissue scale and a vertex-based representation on the cell scale, we obtain a multiscale...

Cytokinin acts through the auxin influx carrier AUX1 to regulate cell elongation in the root (2016)
Journal Article
Street, I. H., Mathews, D. E., Yamburkenko, M. V., Sorooshzadeh, A., John, R. T., Swarup, R., …Schaller, G. E. (2016). Cytokinin acts through the auxin influx carrier AUX1 to regulate cell elongation in the root. Development, 143(21), 3982-3993. https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.132035

Hormonal interactions are critical for plant development. In Arabidopsis, cytokinins inhibit root growth through effects on cell proliferation and cell elongation. Here we define key mechanistic elements in a regulatory network by which cytokinin inh...

Lateral root (LR) formation is an important determinant of root system architecture. In Arabidopsis, LRs originate from pericycle cells, which undergo a programme of morphogenesis to generate a new LR meristem. Despite its importance for root meriste...
