The establishment of ordered neuronal connections is supposed to take place under the
control of specific cell adhesion molecules (CAM) which guide neuroblasts and axons to …

Abstract Gibberellin 3-oxidase (GA3ox) catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of bioactive
gibberellins (GAs). We examined the expression patterns of all four GA3ox genes in …

Transcription of Arabidopsis thaliana seed maturation (MAT) genes is controlled by
members of several transcription factor families, such as basic leucine zippers (bZIPs), B3s …

Most plastid isoprenoids, including photosynthesis‐related metabolites such as carotenoids
and the side chain of chlorophylls, tocopherols (vitamin E), phylloquinones (vitamin K), and …

Abstract Laccase, EC 1.10. 3.2 or p-diphenol: dioxygen oxidoreductase, has been proposed
to be involved in lignin synthesis in plants based on its in vitro enzymatic activity and a close …

Higher plants typically do not produce trehalose in large amounts, but their genome
sequences reveal large families of putative trehalose metabolism enzymes. An important …

Formation of somatic embryos from non-germline cells is unique to higher plants and can be
manipulated in a variety of species. Previous studies revealed that overexpression of …

Flowering at the appropriate time of year is essential for successful reproduction in plants.
We found that HAP3b in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a putative CCAAT-binding …

The diploid woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca, is being recognized as a model for the
more complex octoploid commercial strawberry, Fragaria× ananassa. F. vesca exhibits a …

During the early stages of seed development, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)
endosperm is syncytial and proliferates rapidly through repeated rounds of mitosis without …
