Molecular Screening Tools to Study Arabidopsis Transcription Factors
In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, more than 2000 genes are estimated to encode transcription factors (TFs), which clearly emphasizes the importance of transcriptional control. Although genomic approaches have generated large TF open reading frame (ORF) collections, only a limited number of these genes is functionally characterized, yet. This review evaluates strategies and methods to ide...
متن کاملMYB transcription factors in Arabidopsis.
The MYB family of proteins is large, functionally diverse and represented in all eukaryotes. Most MYB proteins function as transcription factors with varying numbers of MYB domain repeats conferring their ability to bind DNA. In plants, the MYB family has selectively expanded, particularly through the large family of R2R3-MYB. Members of this family function in a variety of plant-specific proce...
متن کاملFrailty Screening Tools: Frail Detection to Primary Assessment
Frailty is a vulnerable situation among older adults which can lead to unfavorable health outcomes such as falls, mortality, functional decline and institutionalization. The increasing number of elderly people and low rate of mortality has necessitated the need for high-quality medical services for this aging population, and this has led to a high cost of geriatric health care. There exist a hu...
متن کاملRARTF: database and tools for complete sets of Arabidopsis transcription factors.
More than 5% of all genes in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome have been assumed to code for transcription factors. However, it has been difficult to accurately identify them. To construct proper sets of transcription factors, we used PSI-BLAST and InterProScan, and also checked several families manually. Especially to determine major Arabidopsis transcription factors (MYB, AP2/EREBP, bHLH, NAC, ...
متن کاملArabidopsis PLETHORA Transcription Factors Control Phyllotaxis
The pattern of plant organ initiation at the shoot apical meristem (SAM), termed phyllotaxis, displays regularities that have long intrigued botanists and mathematicians alike. In the SAM, the central zone (CZ) contains a population of stem cells that replenish the surrounding peripheral zone (PZ), where organs are generated in regular patterns. These patterns differ between species and may cha...
