Plant development: A role for sterols in embryogenesis
نویسنده
چکیده
The Arabidopsis mutants fackel and sterol methyltransferase 1 have defects associated with body organization of the seedling. Molecular analysis of these mutants has revealed that plant sterols may be key signaling molecules influencing position-dependent cell fate during embryonic development.

Sterols regulate development and gene expression in Arabidopsis.
Sterols are important not only for structural components of eukaryotic cell membranes but also for biosynthetic precursors of steroid hormones. In plants, the diverse functions of sterol-derived brassinosteroids (BRs) in growth and development have been investigated rigorously, yet little is known about the regulatory roles of other phytosterols. Recent analysis of Arabidopsis fackel (fk) mutan...
متن کاملArabidopsis mutants reveal multiple roles for sterols in plant development.
The molecular genetic, and biochemical analysis of sterol-deficient mutants in Arabidopsis strongly suggests an essential role for sterols in regulating multiple events in plant development, independent of their conversion to brassinosteroids (BRs). Embryogenesis, cell elongation, vascular differentiation, and hormone signaling all are affected by the alteration of sterol levels, but the molecu...
متن کاملAcyl-CoA-Binding Protein ACBP1 Modulates Sterol Synthesis during Embryogenesis.
Fatty acids (FAs) and sterols are primary metabolites that exert interrelated functions as structural and signaling lipids. Despite their common syntheses from acetyl-coenzyme A, homeostatic cross talk remains enigmatic. Six Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) acyl-coenzyme A-binding proteins (ACBPs) are involved in FA metabolism. ACBP1 interacts with PHOSPHOLIPASE Dα1 and regulates phospholipid...

Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) is a wild flower with high and valuable oil content. High seedshattering, indeterminate inflorescence and heterogeneous germination limit the commercial cultivation ofthis plant. Besides agronomical research, breeding programs can also remedy the above mentioned problems.Since traditional breeding methods take a long time, using techniqu...
