The genomic era facilitates the understanding of how transcriptional networks are interconnected to program seed development and filling. However, to date, little information is available regarding dicot seeds with a transient perisperm... more
The "Microbiology" volume of the new revised and updated Handbook of Enology focuses on the vinification process. It describes how yeasts work and how they can be influenced to achieve better results. It continues to look at the... more
• Evidence is accumulating that the effect of CO2 on time of flowering involves interactions with photoperiod, but the basis for this interaction is unclear. Here, which components of the photoperiod flowering pathway account for this... more
Uncoordinated movement in Rab2 mutants is caused by impaired retention of cargo on dense core vesicles, not by defective synaptic vesicle release. (Also see the companion article by Sumakovic et al. in this issue.)
In the budding yeast,S. cerevisiae, two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis techniques permit mapping of DNA replication origins to short stretches of DNA (±300 bp). In contrast, in mammalian cells andDrosophila, 2D gel techniques do not... more
Increases in woody vegetation and declines in grasses in arid and semi-arid ecosystems have occurred globally since the 1800s, but the mechanisms driving this major land-cover change remain uncertain and controversial. Working in a... more
The Arabidopsis thaliana K+ channel KAT1 has been suggested to have a key role in mediating the aperture of stomata pores on the surface of plant leaves. Although the activity of KAT1 is thought to be regulated by phosphorylation, the... more
Frank Livingstone played a central role in defining the population genetics of the sickle cell mutation at position 6 of the human beta globin gene, the most famous amino acid substitution in evolutionary biology. Its discovery occurred... more
We identified and functionally characterized genes encoding three Gα proteins and one Gβ protein in the dimorphic fungal wheat pathogenMycosphaerella graminicola, which we designatedMgGpa1,MgGpa2,MgGpa3, andMgGpb1, respectively. Sequence... more
The research that aims at furthering our understanding of plant primary metabolism has intensified during the last decade. The presented study validated a systems biology methodological framework for the analysis of stress-induced... more
This chapter on plant-nematode interactions contains sections on nematode parasitism of plants, invasion and migration in host tissue, wound and defence responses of the plant, protection from host responses, molecular and cellular... more
