Using giant scarlet runner bean embryos to uncover regulatory networks controlling suspensor gene activity
One of the major unsolved issues in plant development is understanding the regulatory networks that control the differential gene activity that is required for the specification and development of the two major embryonic regions, the embryo proper and suspensor. Historically, the giant embryo of scarlet runner bean (SRB), Phaseolus coccineus, has been used as a model system to investigate the p...
متن کاملRegional localization of suspensor mRNAs during early embryo development.
We investigated gene activity within the giant embryos of the scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus) to gain understanding of the processes by which the apical and basal cells become specified to follow different developmental pathways after division of the zygote. We identified two mRNAs, designated G564 and C541, that accumulate specifically within the suspensor of globular-stage embryos. ...
متن کاملPerturbations to uncover gene networks.
After the major achievements of the DNA sequencing projects, an equally important challenge now is to uncover the functional relationships among genes (i.e. gene networks). It has become increasingly clear that computational algorithms are crucial for extracting meaningful information from the massive amount of data generated by high-throughput genome-wide technologies. Here, we summarise how s...
متن کاملDomestication Genomics of the Open-Pollinated Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.)
The runner bean is a legume species from Mesoamerica closely related to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). It is a perennial species, but it is usually cultivated in small-scale agriculture as an annual crop for its dry seeds and edible immature pods. Unlike the common bean, P. coccineus has received little attention from a genetic standpoint. In this work we aim to (1) provide information about...
متن کاملGene-regulatory networks in the Ciona embryos.
Ascidians belong to the subphylum Urochordata or Tunicata, which is the sister group of the vertebrates. The simple architecture of the ascidian larva represents the basic chordate body plan. Recent analyses have shown many instances of developmental mechanisms conserved during evolution, while these studies have also revealed a much larger number of instances of divergence. However, to precise...
