Structure of Linkage Disequilibrium in PlantsAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 54 Số 1 - Trang 357-374 - 2003
Sherry Flint‐Garcia, Jeffry M. Thornsberry, Edward S. Buckler
Future advances in plant genomics will make it possible to scan a genome for polymorphisms associated with qualitative and quantitative traits. Before this potential can be realized, we must understand the nature of linkage disequilibrium (LD) within a genome. LD, the nonrandom association of alleles at different loci, plays an integral role in association mapping, and determines the reso...... hiện toàn bộ
NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE REGULATION AND FUNCTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF LYSINE METABOLISM IN PLANTSAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 53 Số 1 - Trang 27-43 - 2002
Gad Galili
▪ Abstract Lysine is one of the most limiting essential amino acids in vegetative foods consumed by humans and livestock. In addition to serving as a building block of proteins, lysine is also a precursor for glutamate, an important signaling amino acid that regulates plant growth and responses to the environment. Recent genetic, molecular, and biochemical evidence suggests that lysine s...... hiện toàn bộ
A Genetic Regulatory Network in the Development of Trichomes and Root HairsAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 59 Số 1 - Trang 365-386 - 2008
Tetsuya Ishida, Tetsuya Kurata, Kiyotaka Okada, Takuji Wada
Trichomes and root hairs differentiate from epidermal cells in the aerial tissues and roots, respectively. Because trichomes and root hairs are easily accessible, particularly in the model plant Arabidopsis, their development has become a well-studied model of cell differentiation and growth. Molecular genetic analyses using Arabidopsis mutants have demonstrated that the differentiation o...... hiện toàn bộ
Metal Hyperaccumulation in PlantsAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 61 Số 1 - Trang 517-534 - 2010
Ute Krämer
During the history of life on Earth, tectonic and climatic change repeatedly generated large territories that were virtually devoid of life and exhibited harsh environmental conditions. The ability of a few specialist pioneer plants to colonize such hostile environments was thus of paramount ecological importance for the continuous maintenance of primary production over time. Yet, we know...... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphate Nutrition: Improving Low-Phosphate Tolerance in CropsAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 65 Số 1 - Trang 95-123 - 2014
Damar López‐Arredondo, Marco Antonio Leyva‐González, Sandra Isabel González-Morales, José López‐Bucio, Luís Herrera‐Estrella
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient that is required for all major developmental processes and reproduction in plants. It is also a major constituent of the fertilizers required to sustain high-yield agriculture. Levels of phosphate—the only form of phosphorus that can be assimilated by plants—are suboptimal in most natural and agricultural ecosystems, and when phosphate is applied as fert...... hiện toàn bộ
Selaginella and 400 Million Years of SeparationAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 60 Số 1 - Trang 223-238 - 2009
Jo Ann Banks
Selaginella (spikemoss) is an enigma in the plant kingdom. Although a fascination to botanists at the turn of the twentieth century, members of this genus are unremarkable in appearance, never flower, and are of no agronomic value. However, members of this genus are relicts from ancient times, and one has to marvel at how this genus has survived virtually unchanged in appearance for hundre...... hiện toàn bộ
PHYTOREMEDIATIONAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 56 Số 1 - Trang 15-39 - 2005
Elizabeth A. H. Pilon‐Smits
Phytoremediation the use of plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup , the use of plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup, has gained acceptance in the past 10 years as a cost-effective, noninvasive alternative or complementary technology for engineering-based remediation methods. Plants can be used for pollutant stabilization, extraction, degra...... hiện toàn bộ
Auxin: The Looping Star in Plant DevelopmentAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 59 Số 1 - Trang 443-465 - 2008
René Benjamins, Ben Scheres
The phytohormone auxin is a key factor in plant growth and development. Forward and reverse genetic strategies have identified important molecular components in auxin perception, signaling, and transport. These advances resulted in the identification of some of the underlying regulatory mechanisms as well as the emergence of functional frameworks for auxin action. This review focuses on t...... hiện toàn bộ
Connecting the Plastid: Transporters of the Plastid Envelope and Their Role in Linking Plastidial with Cytosolic MetabolismAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 62 Số 1 - Trang 53-77 - 2011
Andreas P.M. Weber, Nicole Linka
Plastids have a multitude of functions in eukaryotic cells, ranging from photosynthesis to storage, and a role in essential biosynthetic pathways. All plastids are of either primary or higher-order endosymbiotic origin. That is, either a photosynthetic cyanobacterium was integrated into a mitochondriate eukaryotic host cell (primary endosymbiosis) or a plastid-bearing eukaryotic cell merg...... hiện toàn bộ
Vacuolar Transporters in Their Physiological ContextAnnual Review of Plant Biology - Tập 63 Số 1 - Trang 183-213 - 2012
Enrico Martinoia, Stefan Meyer, Alexis De Angeli, Réka Nagy
Vacuoles in vegetative tissues allow the plant surface to expand by accumulating energetically cheap inorganic osmolytes, and thereby optimize the plant for absorption of sunlight and production of energy by photosynthesis. Some specialized cells, such as guard cells and pulvini motor cells, exhibit rapid volume changes. These changes require the rapid release and uptake of ions and water...... hiện toàn bộ
