Over 225,000 independent Agrobacterium transferred DNA (T-DNA) insertion events in the
genome of the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana have been created that represent near …

Homeotic mutants, that is, mutants with a normal organ in a place where an organ of another
type is typically found, were first recognized in plants. The earliest descriptions of mutants in …

The first step in flower development is the generation of a floral meristem by the inflorescence
meristem. We have analyzed how this process is affected by mutant alleles of the …

FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), which acts in parallel with the meristem-identity geneLEAFY (LFY)
to induce flowering of Arabidopsis, was isolated by activation tagging. Like LFY, FT acts …

The plant Arabidopsis thaliana occurs naturally in many different habitats throughout
Eurasia. As a foundation for identifying genetic variation contributing to adaptation to diverse …

Regulatory regions of plant genes tend to be more compact than those of animal genes, but
the complement of transcription factors encoded in plant genomes is as large or larger than …

Plants with altered microRNA metabolism have pleiotropic developmental defects, but direct
evidence for microRNAs regulating specific aspects of plant morphogenesis has been …

MicroRNAs (miRNA) regulate key aspects of development and physiology in animals and
plants. These regulatory RNAs act as guides of effector complexes to recognize specific …

Although pioneered by human geneticists as a potential solution to the challenging problem
of finding the genetic basis of common human diseases 1 , 2 , genome-wide association (…

The FT gene integrates several external and endogenous cues controlling flowering, including
information on day length. A complex of the mobile FT protein and the bZIP transcription …
