There is a lot more noise than assumed in gene expression. Nevertheless, organisms still manage to develop complex organs. As American researchers show in Nature Communications.

Updating our view of TIR
It turns out that the auxin receptor TIR produces the second messenger cAMP. Now researchers led by Jiří Friml show in Nature that the production of cAMP and not the degradation of Aux/IAA proteins is the key to the activation of ARF transcription factors.
Extra auxin against stress
Extra auxin against stress Microbes like, Pseudomonas, give plants a helping hand in stress situations. For a long time it was unknown how they do this. Now a team of international researchers show in Microbial Biotechnology how Pseudomonas this does. Plants colonised by beneficial microbes perform better than their non-colonised neighbours in stress situations. TheContinue reading “Extra auxin against stress”
Long lasting effects of cell divisions
Long lasting effects of cell divisions Lots of organisms show one or more forms of symmetry, plants included. In The Plant Journal English researchers show that this symmetry starts by cel divisions. Because of their cell wall plant cells can not move from their location. Therefore how and when a cell divides in part influencesContinue reading “Long lasting effects of cell divisions”
