Multiple, Distinct Isoforms of Sucrose Synthase in Pea1
Barratt, D.H. Paul, Barber, Lorraine, Kruger, Nicholas J., Smith, Alison M., Wang, Trevor L., Martin, Cathie
Genes encoding three isoforms of sucrose synthase (Sus1, Sus2, and Sus3) have been cloned from pea (Pisum sativum). The genes have distinct patterns of expression in different organs of the plant,...
Hussain, Hasnain, Mant, Alexandra, Seale, Robert, Zeeman, Sam, Hinchliffe, Edward, Edwards, Anne, ...
Isoamylases are debranching enzymes that hydrolyze α-1,6 linkages in α-1,4/α-1,6–linked glucan polymers. In plants, they have been shown to be required for the normal synthesis of amylopectin,...
Discrete Forms of Amylose Are Synthesized by Isoforms of GBSSI in PeaW⃞
Edwards, Anne, Vincken, Jean-Paul, Suurs, Luc C. J. M., Visser, Richard G. F., Zeeman, Sam, Smith, Alison, ...
Amyloses with distinct molecular masses are found in the starch of pea embryos compared with the starch of pea leaves. In pea embryos, a granule-bound starch synthase protein (GBSSIa) is required for...

Transcriptional repression by AtMYB4 controls production of UV-protecting sunscreens in Arabidopsis
Jin, Hailing, Cominelli, Eleonora, Bailey, Paul, Parr, Adrian, Mehrtens, Frank, Jones, Jonathon, ...
An Arabidopsis thaliana line that is mutant for the R2R3 MYB gene, AtMYB4, shows enhanced levels of sinapate esters in its leaves. The mutant line is more tolerant of UV-B irradiation than wild type....
Starch granule initiation is controlled by a heteromultimeric isoamylase in potato tubers
Bustos, Regla, Fahy, Brendan, Hylton, Christopher M., Seale, Robert, Nebane, N. Miranda, Edwards, Anne, ...
Starch granule initiation is not understood, but recent evidence implicates a starch debranching enzyme, isoamylase, in the control of this process. Potato tubers contain isoamylase activity...
Update on the Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factor Gene Family in Arabidopsis thaliana
Bailey, Paul C., Martin, Cathie, Toledo-Ortiz, Gabriela, Quail, Peter H., Huq, Enamul, Heim, Marc A., ...
Martin, Cathie, Carpenter, Rosemary, Sommer, Hans, Saedler, Heinz, Coen, Enrico S.
The pal locus of Antirrhinum majus was cloned using the transposable element, Tam 3, as a probe. The pal clone was used to examine, at the molecular level, those aspects of instability previously...

The Antirrhinum majus transposon Tam3 undergoes low temperature–dependent transposition (LTDT). Growth at 15°C permits transposition, whereas growth at 25°C strongly suppresses it. The degree of...
The mechanics of cell fate determination in petals.
Martin, Cathie, Bhatt, Kiran, Baumann, Kim, Jin, Hailing, Zachgo, Sabine, Roberts, Keith, ...
The epidermal cells of petals of many species are specialized, having a pronounced conical shape. A transcription factor, MIXTA, is required for the formation of conical cells in Antirrhinum majus;...

The Rosea1, Rosea2, and Venosa genes encode MYB-related transcription factors active in the flowers of Antirrhinum majus. Analysis of mutant phenotypes shows that these genes control the intensity...
SERRATE: a new player on the plant microRNA scene
Lobbes, Dajana, Rallapalli, Ghanasyam, Schmidt, Dominik D, Martin, Cathie, Clarke, Jonathan
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as sequence-specific guides that control gene expression by post-transcriptional gene silencing. Many miRNAs influence plant development by regulating the accumulation of...
