Higher Plant Transposons
We have isolated a 1595-bp transposable element from the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri following its insertion into the nitrate reductase (nitA) locus. This element, which we have named Jordan, has short (12-bp) terminal inverted repeats and creates a 3-bp target site duplication, like some higher plant transposons of the classic type. Contained within the first 200 bp of one end of t...
متن کاملA Conserved Signalling Pathway for Amoebozoan Encystation that was Co-Opted for Multicellular Development
The evolution of multicellularity required novel mechanisms for intercellular communication, but their origin is unclear. Dictyostelium cells exchange signals to position specialized cell types in multicellular spore-bearing structures. These signals activate complex pathways that converge on activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Genes controlling PKA were detected in the Dictyoste...
متن کاملSex determination: Co-opted signals determine gender
The Drosophila JAK-STAT pathway and its ligand Unpaired are required for a wide range of developmental processes. Recent results have identified Unpaired as an activator of sex-lethal and revealed a new role for the JAK-STAT pathway in sex determination.
متن کاملMycorrhizal Symbiosis: Ancient Signalling Mechanisms Co-opted
Mycorrhizal root endosymbiosis is an ancient property of land plants. Two parallel studies now provide novel insight into the mechanism driving this interaction and how it is used by other filamentous microbes like pathogenic oomycetes.
متن کامل(Co-)Iteration for Higher-Order Nested Datatypes
The problem of defining iteration for higher-order nested datatypes of arbitrary (finite) rank is solved within the framework of System F of higher-order parametric polymorphism. The proposed solution heavily relies on a general notion of monotonicity as opposed to a syntactic criterion on the shape of the type constructors such as positivity or even being polynomial. Its use is demonstrated fo...
