Karrikin and cyanohydrin smoke signals provide clues to new endogenous plant signaling compounds.
Two new types of signaling compounds have been discovered in wildfire smoke due to their ability to stimulate seed germination. The first discovered were karrikins, which share some structural similarity with the strigolactone class of plant hormones, and both signal through a common F-box protein. However, karrikins and strigolactones operate through otherwise distinct signaling pathways, each...
متن کاملReporter Gene-Facilitated Detection of Compounds in Arabidopsis Leaf Extracts that Activate the Karrikin Signaling Pathway
Karrikins are potent germination stimulants generated by the combustion of plant matter. Treatment of Arabidopsis with karrikins triggers a signaling process that is dependent upon a putative receptor protein KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 (KAI2). KAI2 is a homolog of DWARF 14 (D14), the receptor for endogenous strigolactone hormones. Genetic analyses suggest that KAI2 also perceives endogenous signal(...
متن کاملPlatelet FcγRIIA signaling: new clues for HIT.
In this issue of Blood, Zhou et al provide novel insights into Fc gamma type 2 receptor A (FcgRIIA)–mediated platelet activation. By identifying a negative regulator of FcgRIIA signaling, which is influenced by microRNA miR-148a, they present the first evidence of modulation of platelet function by microRNAs in vivo. They show that inhibition of miR-148a prevents thrombosis after immune complex...

A recent study of the expression of floral organ identity genes in buttercups, poppies and their relatives has shed light on the evolutionary origin of petals.
متن کاملPSRD: Titanium Isotopes Provide Clues to Lunar Origin
he idea that the Moon formed as the result of the giant impact of a Mars-sized impactor with the still-growing Earth explains two central facts about the Earth-Moon system: its total angular momentum (Earth's spin and the Moon's orbital motion), and the sizes of the metallic cores of the Earth (large) and Moon (tiny). This gives cosmochemists some confidence in the hypothesis, but they would gr...
