Variability and Constancy in Cellular Growth of Arabidopsis Sepals.
Growth of tissues is highly reproducible; yet, growth of individual cells in a tissue is highly variable, and neighboring cells can grow at different rates. We analyzed the growth of epidermal cell lineages in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) sepal to determine how the growth curves of individual cell lineages relate to one another in a developing tissue. To identify underlying growth tre...
متن کاملClones of cells switch from reduction to enhancement of size variability in Arabidopsis sepals
Organs form with remarkably consistent sizes and shapes during development, whereas a high variability in growth is observed at the cell level. Given this contrast, it is unclear how such consistency in organ scale can emerge from cellular behavior. Here, we examine an intermediate scale, the growth of clones of cells in Arabidopsis sepals. Each clone consists of the progeny of a single progeni...
متن کاملPhysical interaction of floral organs controls petal morphogenesis in Arabidopsis.
Flowering plants bear beautiful flowers to attract pollinators. Petals are the most variable organs in flowering plants, with their color, fragrance, and shape. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), petal primordia arise at a similar time to stamen primordia and elongate at later stages through the narrow space between anthers and sepals. Although many of the genes involved in regulating petal...
متن کاملTissue Engineering: A Biological Solution for Tissue Damage, Loss or End Stage Organ Failure
In recent years the science of tissue engineering has emerged as a powerful tool for the development of a novel set of tissue replacement parts and technologies. Recent advances in the fields of biomaterials, stem cell technologies, growth factor field and biomimetics have created a unique set of opportunities for investigators to fabricate lab-grown tissues from combination of extracellular ma...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of glycin rich- RNA binding protein, a suppressor of trehalose-6-phosphate mediating growth arrest in Arabidopsis thaliana
Metabolism of the alpha-1,1 glucose disaccharide, trehalose, is indispensable in plants. In the Murashigeand Skoog (MS) medium, trehalose inhibits plant growth and allocation of carbon to roots. A suppressorof trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) mediated growth arrest, GR-RBP2, is characterized in more detail.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GR-RBP2 is a protein of likely prokaryot...
