Plant Fructokinases: Evolutionary, Developmental, and Metabolic Aspects in Sink Tissues
Sucrose, a glucose-fructose disaccharide, is the main sugar transported in the phloem of most plants and is the origin of most of the organic matter. Upon arrival in sink tissues, the sucrose must be cleaved by invertase or sucrose synthase. Both sucrose-cleaving enzymes yield free fructose, which must be phosphorylated by either fructokinase (FRK) or hexokinase (HXK). The affinity of FRK to fr...
متن کاملEvolutionary and developmental aspects of intersubjectivity
Humans have a unique capacity to share and understand others’ mental states. The mental states involve not only beliefs, but all forms of consciousness such as emotions, desires, attentional foci and intentions. Representing the mental states of others will here be called intersubjectivity (Stern 1985). In the philosophical and psychological debate, the capacity is commonly known as having a “t...
متن کاملThe evolutionary-developmental analysis of plant microRNAs.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control many important aspects of plant development, suggesting these molecules may also have played key roles in the evolution of developmental processes in plants. However, evolutionary-developmental (evo-devo) studies of miRNAs have been held back by technical difficulties in gene identification. To help solve this problem, we have developed a two-step procedure for the ef...
متن کاملExploring developmental, functional, and evolutionary aspects of amphioxus sensory cells
Amphioxus has neither elaborated brains nor definitive sensory organs, so that the two may have evolved in a mutually affecting manner and given rise to the forms seen in extant vertebrates. Clarifying the developmental and functional aspects of the amphioxus sensory system is thus pivotal for inferring the early evolution of vertebrates. Morphological studies have identified and classified amp...
متن کاملCharles Darwin and the origins of plant evolutionary developmental biology.
Much has been written of the early history of comparative embryology and its influence on the emergence of an evolutionary developmental perspective. However, this literature, which dates back nearly a century, has been focused on metazoans, without acknowledgment of the contributions of comparative plant morphologists to the creation of a developmental view of biodiversity. We trace the origin...
