Developmental normalization of phenomics data generated by high throughput plant phenotyping systems.

Background: Sowing time is commonly used as the temporal reference for (Arabidopsis) experiments in high throughput plant phenotyping (HTPP) systems. This relies on the assumption that germination and seedling establishment are uniform across the population. However, individual seeds have different development trajectories even under uniform environmental conditions.

ANAC017 Coordinates Organellar Functions and Stress Responses by Reprogramming Retrograde Signaling.

Mitochondria adjust their activities in response to external and internal stimuli to optimize growth via the mitochondrial retrograde response signaling pathway. The Arabidopsis () NAC domain transcription factor ANAC017 has previously been identified as a regulator of the mitochondrial retrograde response. We show here that overexpression of in Arabidopsis leads to growth retardation, altered leaf development with decreased cell size and viability, and early leaf senescence.
