Mitosis in plants can be blocked by colchicine which has the capacity to bind microtubule subunits. In maize (Zea mays L.) breeding, it is frequently being used for doubling chromosome numbers of haploids for producing homozygous doubled haploids. However, colchicine
Some species of Spirogyra form rosette-shaped or rod-shaped rhizoids in the terminal cell of the filaments. In the present study, we analyzed an involvement of microtubules (MTs) in rhizoid differentiation. Before rhizoid differentiation, cortical MTs were arranged transversely to the
Lipid bodies present in lipotubuloids of Ornithogalum umbellatum ovary epidermis take the form of a lens between leaflets of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) membrane filled with a highly osmiophilic substance. The two enzymes, DGAT1 [DAG (diacylglycerol) acyltransferase 1] and DGAT2 (DAG

Propyzamide and carbetamide are essential for blackgrass control in oilseed rape production. However, both of these compounds can contaminate surface waters and pose compliance problems for water utilities. The transport of propyzamide and carbetamide to an instrumented field drain in
The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology, 45(5), 752-764 (2006-02-08)
The WAG1 and WAG2 genes of Arabidopsis thaliana encode protein-serine/threonine kinases that are closely related to PINOID. In order to determine what roles WAG1 and WAG2 play in seedling development, we used a reverse genetics approach to study the wag1
