Published: January 2018

We describe a method combining fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) with one-step miniaturized isolation and accurate quantification of cytokinins (CKs) using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) to measure these phytohormones in specific cell types of Arabidopsis thaliana roots. The methodology provides information of unprecedented resolution about spatial distributions of CKs, and thus should facilitate attempts to elucidate regulatory networks involved in root developmental processes.

DNA damage triggers heritable alterations in DNA methylation patterns in Arabidopsis.

It has been hypothesized that DNA damage has the potential to induce DNA hypermethylation, contributing to carcinogenesis in mammals. However, there is no sufficient evidence to support that DNA damage can cause genome-wide DNA hypermethylation. Here, we demonstrated that DNA single-strand breaks with 3'-blocked ends (DNA 3'-blocks) can not only reinforce DNA methylation at normally methylated loci but also can induce DNA methylation at normally nonmethylated loci in plants.

Genome-wide identification of the Sec14 gene family and the response to salt and drought stress in soybean (Glycine max).

BMC Genomics

Background: The Sec14 domain is an ancient lipid-binding domain that evolved from yeast Sec14p and performs complex lipid-mediated regulatory functions in subcellular organelles and intracellular traffic. The Sec14 family is characterized by a highly conserved Sec14 domain, and is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells and has diverse functions. However, the number and characteristics of Sec14 homologous genes in soybean, as well as their potential roles, remain understudied.

-Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FAs) have emerged as key components of nitric oxide (NO) signalling in eukaryotes. We previously described how nitro-linolenic acid (NO2-Ln), the major NO2-FA detected in plants, regulates S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) levels in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain undefined.

Haldane's Dilemma refers to the concern that the need for many "selective deaths" to complete a substitution (i.e. selective sweep) creates a speed limit to adaptation.

Plants deploy cellular Ca2+ elevation as a signal for environmental stress signaling. Extracellular ATP (eATP) is released into the extracellular matrix when cells are wounded. DOES NOT RESPOND TO NUCLEOTIDES 1 (DORN1), a key legume-type lectin receptor, senses and binds eATP and activates Ca2+ signaling.
