Decreased photosynthesis in the erect panicle 3 (ep3) mutant of rice is associated with reduced stomatal conductance and attenuated guard cell development (2015)
Journal Article

The ERECT PANICLE 3 gene of rice encodes a peptide that exhibits more than 50% sequence identity with the Arabidopsis F-box protein HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS). Ectopic expression of the Os02g15950 coding sequence, driven by the HWS (At3g61950) promoter, re...

Promotion of testa rupture during garden cress germination involves seed compartment-specific expression and activity of pectin methylesterases (2015)
Journal Article

Pectin methylesterase (PME) controls the methylesterification status of pectins and thereby determines the biophysical properties of plant cell walls, which are important for tissue growth and weakening processes. We demonstrate here that tissue-spec...

Plant embryogenesis requires AUX/LAX-mediated auxin influx (2015)
Journal Article

The plant hormone auxin and its directional transport are known to play a crucial role in defining the embryonic axis and subsequent development of the body plan. Although the role of PIN auxin efflux transporters has been clearly assigned during emb... Read More about Plant embryogenesis requires AUX/LAX-mediated auxin influx.

Inference of the Arabidopsis lateral root gene regulatory network suggests a bifurcation mechanism that defines primordia flanking and central zones (2015)
Journal Article

A large number of genes involved in lateral root (LR) organogenesis have been identified over the last decade using forward and reverse genetic approaches in Arabidopsis thaliana. Nevertheless, how these genes interact to form a LR regulatory network...

Auxin influx importers modulate serration along the leaf margin (2015)
Journal Article

Leaf shape in Arabidopsis is modulated by patterning events in the margin that utilize a PIN‐based auxin exporter/CUC2 transcription factor system to define regions of promotion and retardation of growth, leading to morphogenesis. In addition to auxi... Read More about Auxin influx importers modulate serration along the leaf margin.

A fluorescent hormone biosensor reveals the dynamics of jasmonate signalling in plants (2015)
Journal Article

Activated forms of jasmonic acid (JA) are central signals coordinating plant responses to stresses, yet tools to analyse their spatial and temporal distribution are lacking. Here we describe a JA perception biosensor termed Jas9-VENUS that allows the... Read More about A fluorescent hormone biosensor reveals the dynamics of jasmonate signalling in plants.

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat (2015)
Journal Article

Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen c... Read More about Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.
