Tracheary element differentiation
Tracheary elements (TEs) are cells in the xylem that are highly specialized for transporting
water and solutes up the plant. TEs undergo a very well-defined process of differentiation …

Upregulation of an Arabidopsis RING‐H2 gene, XERICO, confers drought tolerance through increased abscisic acid biosynthesis
RING (really interesting new gene) zinc‐finger proteins have important regulatory roles in
the development of a variety of organisms. The XERICO gene encodes a small protein (162 …

Ectopic expression of MYB46 identifies transcriptional regulatory genes involved in secondary wall biosynthesis in Arabidopsis
MYB46 functions as a transcriptional switch that turns on the genes necessary for secondary
wall biosynthesis. Elucidating the transcriptional regulatory network immediately …

Analysis of secondary growth in the Arabidopsis shoot reveals a positive role of jasmonate signalling in cambium formation
After primary growth, most dicotyledonous plants undergo secondary growth. Secondary
growth involves an increase in the diameter of shoots and roots through formation of …

ANAC012, a member of the plant‐specific NAC transcription factor family, negatively regulates xylary fiber development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Vascular plants evolved to have xylem that provides physical support for their growing body
and serves as a conduit for water and nutrient transport. In a previous study, we used …

The Rab GTPase RabG3b functions in autophagy and contributes to tracheary element differentiation in Arabidopsis
SI Kwon, HJ Cho, JH Jung, K Yoshimoto… - The Plant …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The tracheary elements (TEs) of the xylem serve as the water‐conducting vessels of the
plant vascular system. To achieve this, TEs undergo secondary cell wall thickening and cell …

Transcriptional regulation in wood formation
Wood (ie xylem tissue) in trees is mainly composed of two types of cells, fibres and tracheary
elements. Recent molecular studies of various trees, as well as the non-tree species …
