The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box gene HAWAIIAN SKIRT is a new player in the microRNA pathway (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Jayaweera, D., Peters, J. L., Szecsi, J., Bendahmane, M., Roberts, J. A., & Gonzalez-Carranza, Z. H. (2017). The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box gene HAWAIIAN SKIRT is a new player in the microRNA pathway. PLoS ONE, 12(12), Article e0189788. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0189788

In Arabidopsis, the F-box HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS) protein is important for organ growth. Loss of function of HWS exhibits pleiotropic phenotypes including sepal fusion. To dissect the HWS role, we EMS-mutagenized hws-1 seeds and screened for mutations t... Read More about The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box gene HAWAIIAN SKIRT is a new player in the microRNA pathway.

HAWAIIAN SKIRT controls size and floral organ number by modulating CUC1 and CUC2 expression (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Carranza, Z. H., Zhang, X., Peters, J. L., Boltz, V., Szecsi, J., Bendahmane, M., & Roberts, J. A. (2017). HAWAIIAN SKIRT controls size and floral organ number by modulating CUC1 and CUC2 expression. PLoS ONE, 12(9), Article e0185106. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185106

The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box gene HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS) affects organ growth and the timing of floral organ abscission. The loss-of-function hws-1 mutant exhibits fused sepals and increased organ size. To understand the molecular mechanisms of HWS d...
