1. Regulação do desenvolvimento e determinação do fruto de tomateiro (Solanum lycopersicum) pela via microRNA156/ SQUAMOSA Promoter-Binding Protein-Like (SPL) / MiR156targeted Squamosa Promoter-binding proteins (SPLs) regulate fruit development and determinacy
Many plants have indeterminate growth and are capable of producing new organs and tissues throughout their life. This capability is partially due to the highly regulated expression of specific genes such as SQUAMOSA Promoter-Binding Protein-Like (SPL) genes. SPLs encode plant-specific transcription factors that play important roles in development, such as ph

2. KNAT1 induces lobed leaves with ectopic meristems when overexpressed in Arabidopsis.
Plant development depends on the activity of apical meristems, which are groups of indeterminate cells whose derivatives elaborate the organs of the mature plant. Studies of knotted1 (kn1) and related gene family members have determined potential roles for homeobox genes in the function of shoot meristems. The Arabidopsis kn1-like gene, KNAT1, is expressed i

3. Photo and hormonal control of meristem identity in the Arabidopsis flower mutants apetala2 and apetala1.
We have analyzed the contributions of phytochrome and gibberellin signal transduction to the control of flower meristem identity in the Arabidopsis mutants apetala1 (ap1) and apetala2 (ap2). ap1 flowers are partially defective for the establishment of flower meristem identity and are characterized by the production of ectopic secondary or axillary flowers an

4. LAX and SPA: Major regulators of shoot branching in rice
The aerial architecture of plants is determined primarily by the pattern of shoot branching. Although shoot apical meristem initiation during embryogenesis has been extensively studied by molecular genetic approaches using Arabidopsis, little is known about the genetic mechanisms controlling axillary meristem initiation, mainly because of the insufficient nu

5. Determination of Arabidopsis floral meristem identity by AGAMOUS.
Determinate growth of floral meristems in Arabidopsis requires the function of the floral regulatory gene AGAMOUS (AG). Expression of AG mRNA in the central region of floral meristems relies on the partially overlapping functions of the LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1) genes, which promote initial floral meristem identity. Here, we provide evidence that AG fun

6. Temporal relationship between the transcription of two Arabidopsis MADS box genes and the floral organ identity genes.
MADS box genes play important roles in specifying floral meristem and floral organ identity. We characterized the temporal and spatial expression patterns of two members of this gene family, AGL4 and AGL5 (for AGAMOUS [AG]-like). AGL4 RNA initially accumulates after the onset of expression of the floral meristem identity genes but before the onset of express

7. HANABA TARANU Is a GATA Transcription Factor That Regulates Shoot Apical Meristem and Flower Development in ArabidopsisW⃞
We have isolated a new mutant, hanaba taranu (han), which affects both flower and shoot apical meristem (SAM) development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Mutants have fused sepals and reduced organ numbers in all four whorls, especially in the 2nd (petal) and 3rd (stamen) whorls. han meristems can become flatter or smaller than in the wild type. HAN encodes a GATA-

8. Expression Level of ABERRANT PANICLE ORGANIZATION1 Determines Rice Inflorescence Form through Control of Cell Proliferation in the Meristem1[W]
Two types of branches, rachis branches (i.e. nonfloral) and spikelets (i.e. floral), are produced during rice (Oryza sativa) inflorescence development. We previously reported that the ABERRANT PANICLE ORGANIZATION1 (APO1) gene, encoding an F-box-containing protein orthologous to Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS, suppresses precocious

9. YABBY Polarity Genes Mediate the Repression of KNOX Homeobox Genes in Arabidopsis
The YABBY (YAB) genes specify abaxial cell fate in lateral organs in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutants in two early-expressing YAB genes, FILAMENTOUS FLOWER (FIL) and YAB3, do not exhibit vegetative phenotypes as a result of redundancy. Mutations in these genes result in the derepression of the KNOX homeobox genes SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM), BREVIPEDICELLUS

10. A homeobox gene with potential developmental control function in the meristem of the conifer Picea abies
Many homeobox genes control essential developmental processes in animals and plants. In this report, we describe the first cDNA corresponding to a homeobox gene isolated from a gymnosperm, the HBK1 gene from the conifer Picea abies (L.) Karst (Norway spruce). The sequence shows distinct similarities specifically to the KNOX (knotted-like homeobox) class of h

11. Regulation of Axis Determinacy by the Arabidopsis PINHEAD Gene
Plants produce proximal-distal growth axes with two types of growth potential: they can be indeterminate, in which case growth continues indefinitely, or they can be determinate, in which case growth is limited to the production of a single organ or a discrete set of organs. The indeterminate shoot axes of Arabidopsis pinhead/zwille mutants frequently are tr

12. Conversion of perianth into reproductive organs by ectopic expression of the tobacco floral homeotic gene NAG1.
Mutations in the AGAMOUS (AG) gene of Arabidopsis thaliana result in the conversion of reproductive organs, stamens and carpels, into perianth organs, sepals and petals. We have isolated and characterized the putative AG gene from Nicotiana tabacum, NAG1, whose deduced protein product shares 73% identical amino acid residues with the Arabidopsis AG gene prod
