Plant biological processes, such as growth and metabolism, hormone signal transduction,
and stress responses, are affected by gene transcriptional regulation. As gene expression …

This paper compares three possible strategies for enhanced lipid overproduction in
microalgae: the biochemical engineering (BE) approaches, the genetic engineering (GE) …

Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system.
Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has …

Flowering of Arabidopsis is induced by long summer days (LDs). The transcriptional
regulator CONSTANS (CO) promotes flowering, and its transcription is increased under LDs …

In angiosperms, a double fertilization event initiates the development of two distinct
structures, the embryo and endosperm. The endosperm plays an important role in …

Abstract The DOF (DNA-binding One Zinc Finger) family of transcription factors is involved in
many fundamental processes in higher plants, including responses to light and …

With the burgeoning population of the world, the successful germination of seeds to achieve
maximum crop production is very important. Seed germination is a precise balance of …

Genome analysis of the pico-eukaryotic marine green alga Prasinoderma coloniale CCMP
1413 unveils the existence of a novel phylum within green plants (Viridiplantae), the …

Background Transcription factors of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family control important
processes in all eukaryotes. In plants, bZIPs are regulators of many central developmental …

DNA binding with One Finger (DOF) transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of
plant growth and development but their precise roles in abiotic stress tolerance are largely …
