Functional Characterization of RFL as a Regulator of Rice Plant Architecture
(2018-03-09)Poaceae (or Gramineae) belong to the grass family and is one of the largest families among flowering plants on land. They include some of the most important cereal crops such as rice (Oryza sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare), ... -
Probing the Splicing and Enzymatic Function of Fission Yeast Prp16 – A DEAD Box RNA Helicase
Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing occurs at precisely conserved sequence elements at and around the splice sites which result in ligation of exons and release of intron as lariat. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome is an apt ... -
Rice transcription factors OsMADS2 and OsMADS4 regulate floret organ development: Deciphering their gene targets, traits and functions related to their unequal genetic redundancy
Organs in modern dicot flowers are positioned in concentric rings (whorls). The outermost whorl has green protective sepals, internal to which are showy petals, and the reproductive stamen and carpel whorls. Florets of ... -
Studies on Molecular Targets and Pathways Regulated by Rice RFL for Flowering Transition and Panicle Development
(2017-11-28)LFY of Arabidopsis is a member of a unique plant specific transcription factor family. It is involved in giving meristem a determinate floral fate by the activation of floral organ identity genes and preventing inflorescence ... -
Study Of Rpb4, A Component Of RNA Polymerase II As A Coordinator Of Transcription Initiation And Elongation In S. Cerevisiae
(2017-05-24)RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of all mRNAs in eukaryotic cells. As the central component of the eukaryotic transcription machinery, Pol II is the final target of transcription ... -
Target Genes and Pathways Regulated by OsMADSI during Rice Floret Specification and Development
(2018-04-12)In angiosperms, specialized reproductive structures are borne in flowers to ensure their reproductive success. After the vegetative growth, plants undergo reproductive phase change to produce flowers. Floral meristems (FMs) ...
