Biochemical, Genetic and Molecular characterization of TCP3 and TCP4 transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana
The TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs (TCP) family of proteins consists of plant-specific, non-canonical basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that perform diverse developmental processes. ... -
Developmental Basis and Diversity of Polar Growth Patterns in Leaves
(2018-03-06)Growth polarity in leaves – a final discussion Insights into the growth processes of leaf lamina have come from studies on several species including Arabidopsis, Antirrhinum, tobacco and maize. A feature common to the ... -
Functional Analysis Of AtCAP Genes In Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2013-08-14) -
Genetic And Biochemical Studies On Genes Involved In Leaf Morphogenesis
(2011-02-08)Much is known about how organs acquire their identity, yet we are only beginning to learn how their shape is regulated. Recent work has elucidated the role of coordinated cell division & expansion in determining plant ... -
Identification and Characterization of Interacting Proteins of TARANI/ Ubiquitin Specific Protease-14 in Arabidopsis thaliana
Regulation of organ shape and size is an important area of research in developmental biology in both plants and animals. The shape of a leaf is determined primarily by endogenous factors such as gene function. Only a ... -
Interaction of the TCP4 protein with other transcription factors and its effect on Arabidopsis shoot apex
The TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs (TCP) class of proteins are plant-specific transcription factors with a non-canonical basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain involved in both DNA-binding and ... -
Map-based Cloning and Characterization of TARANI, a Global Regulator of Arabidopsis Development
(2018-03-02)Forward genetic screen was performed in Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate novel genes involved in leaf development. The tarani (tni) mutant was selected for further study based on its unique cup-shaped lamina with +ve Gaussian ... -
Molecular Genetic Analysis of Trichome Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Several mutants with aberrant trichome patterning and differentiation are known in Arabidopsis. The genes involved in these processes code for proteins with diverse functions such as transcription, protein degradation, ... -
Regulation of auxin response by UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE14/ TARANI in Arabidopsis thaliana
The genetic pathway regulating auxin response in Arabidopsis is well established and provides us a framework to assess whether TNI belongs to this pathway. The total number of lateral roots is taken as a read-out of auxin ... -
Regulation of Leaf Margin Development by TOOTH/MIR160A in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2017-11-13)TOOTH/MIR160A regulates leaf margin outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana Unlike animals, a striking aspect of the plant development is that they have evolved a flexible pattern of post embryonic development. This exposes ... -
Role of TCP transcription factors in seedling development, leaf morphogenesis and senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana
The TCP gene family encodes non-canonical bHLH transcription factors that act as key regulatory molecules in diverse developmental processes in plants including organ morphogenesis, plant architecture, leaf maturation, and ... -
Role of TCP4 Transcription Factor in the Maturation Program of Arabidopsis Life Cycle
(2018-07-28)TCP4 as an integrator of key developmental events A striking aspect of plant life is their sedentary life-style. Though it relieves them of the obligation of forming a complex body organization, it exposes them to ... -
Role of the ELONGATED GYNOPHORE/ELONGATA2 Protein in Fruit and Root Development in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-06-23)In order to identify new players in fruit development, a forward genetic screen was performed on EMS mutagenized plants. A mutant named elongated gynophore (egy) was identified in the M2 population based on altered fruit ... -
Role of the miR319-JAW-TCP module in the growth and development of the female reproductive organ in Arabidopsis thaliana
Named after their founding members TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, and PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs, the TCP transcription factors have been investigated for their diverse role in plant growth and development. The five ... -
Role of VILAMBIT Genes Controlling Flowering Time and Jasmonic Acid Signaling in Arabidopsis
(2018-08-14)The transition to flowering is an important decision for plants since seed-setting and the survival of the progeny depend on the environmental conditions prevalent during this transition. Therefore, to ensure maximum ... -
Transcriptional regulation of a microRNA encoding gene MIR319C during leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 and its target transcription factors encoded by five CIN-TCPs (TCP2, 3, 4, 10 & 24) regulate leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis by triggering the division to differentiation ...
