The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin interact to regulate many plant growth and
developmental processes. Elements involved in the biosynthesis, inactivation, transport …

Fruiting structures in the angiosperms range from completely dry to highly fleshy organs and
provide many of our major crop products, including grains. In the model plant Arabidopsis …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) contains two close homologs of the Arabidopsis thaliana
MADS domain transcription factor FRUITFULL (FUL), FUL1 (previously called TDR4) and …

In higher plants, class III peroxidases exist as large multigene families (eg 73 genes in
Arabidopsis thaliana). The diversity of processes catalysed by peroxidases as well as the …

The reprogramming of epigenetic states in gametes and embryos is essential for correct
development in plants and mammals. In plants, the germ line arises from somatic tissues of …

Chromatin plays a central role in orchestrating gene regulation at the transcriptional level.
However, our understanding of how chromatin states are altered in response to …

Cell separation is thought to involve degradation of pectin by several hydrolytic enzymes,
particularly polygalacturonase (PG). Here, we characterize an activation tagging line with …

Fruits result from complex biological processes that begin soon after fertilization. Among
these processes are cell division and expansion, accumulation of secondary metabolites …

Flowers are the most complex structures of plants. Studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, which
has typical eudicot flowers, have been fundamental in advancing the structural and …

Fruit development is usually triggered by ovule fertilization, and it requires coordination
between seed development and the growth and differentiation of the ovary to host the seeds …
