PLANT JOURNAL, 92(5), 796–807.

By: M. Reyes n, M. Flores-Vergara, O. Guerra-Peraza  n, C. Rajabu *, J. Desai n, Y. Hiromoto-Ruiz n, J. Ndunguru *, L. Hanley-Bowdoin n  ...

author keywords: Arabidopsis; BCTV; CaLCuV; geminivirus; gip-1; immunity; Pla-1; VIGS
MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / virology; Geminiviridae / immunology; Gene Silencing; Plant Diseases / immunology; Plant Diseases / virology; Plant Immunity; Quantitative Trait Loci / genetics
TL;DR: The recessive nature of resistance to CaLCuV and the lack of obvious candidate genes near the gip‐1 locus suggest that a novel resistance gene(s) confers immunity. (via Semantic Scholar)

Contributors: G. Villarino n, Q. Hu n, S. Manrique *, M. Flores-Vergara, B. Sehra n, L. Robles n, J. Brumos  n, A. Stepanova n  ...

MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / anatomy & histology; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / isolation & purification; Base Sequence; Chloral Hydrate; DNA, Antisense; Flowers / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genome, Plant; In Situ Hybridization; Indoleacetic Acids / pharmacology; MADS Domain Proteins / genetics; MADS Domain Proteins / isolation & purification; Meristem / genetics; Meristem / growth & development; Meristem / metabolism; Microscopy, Confocal; Ovule / cytology; Ovule / growth & development; Ovule / metabolism; Protein Isoforms; Protoplasts; RNA, Plant / chemistry; RNA, Plant / isolation & purification; Seeds / growth & development; Sequence Alignment; Transcription Factors; Transcriptional Activation; Transcriptome
TL;DR: A novel approach to analyze the transcriptional signature of the medial domain of the Arabidopsis gynoecium, highlighting the developmental stages that immediately proceed ovule initiation, the earliest stages of seed development and identifying additional genes including novel isoforms, cis-natural antisense transcripts, and a previously unrecognized member of the REPRODUCTIVE MERISTEM family of transcriptional regulators that are potential novel regulators of medial domain development.

In Vivo Mapping of Arabidopsis Scaffold/Matrix Attachment Regions Reveals Link to Nucleosome-Disfavoring Poly(dA:dT) Tracts

PLANT CELL, 26(1), 102–120.

By: P. Pascuzzi n, M. Flores-Vergara, T. Lee  n, B. Sosinski n, M. Vaughn *, L. Hanley-Bowdoin n , W. Thompson n , G. Allen n

MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / physiology; Chromatin / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Matrix Attachment Regions; Nucleosomes / metabolism; Nucleotide Motifs; Poly dA-dT / metabolism; Transcription Factors / genetics; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Transcription Factors / physiology
TL;DR: This work uses tiling microarrays to map S/MARs on Arabidopsis chromosome 4, found to be spaced more closely than in the large plant and animal genomes studied to date and preferentially enriched in poly(dA:dT) tracts, sequences that resist nucleosome formation. (via Semantic Scholar)
