Seed Traits and Genes Important for Translational Biology—Highlights from Recent Discoveries

Creator:

Martinez-Andujar, Cristina, Martin, Ruth C., and Nonogaki, Hiroyuki

Abstract:

Seeds provide food, feed, fiber and fuel. They are also an important delivery system of genetic information, which is essential for the survival of wild species in ecosystems and the production of agricultural crops. In this review, seed traits and genes that are potentially important for agricultural applications are discussed....

Identification of cytokinin reductase in Phaseolus embryos

Creator:

Martin, Ruth C.

Abstract:

A critical balance of hormones is necessary for normal plant development. Therefore, precise mechanisms must exist to maintain proper levels of cytokinins, a group of hormones regulating cell division and differentiation. Structural modifications of the naturally occurring cytokinin, zeatin; including the oxidation, O-glycosylation and reduction of the N⁶-side chain; may...

Zeatin O-xylosyltransferase in Phaseolus vulgaris : immunological and molecular analyses

Creator:

Martin, Ruth C.

Abstract:

Cytokinins are a group of plant hormones mediating cell division and differentiation. Zeatin is a naturally occurring and highly active cytokinin that is rapidly metabolized in Phaseolus seeds. The metabolites and enzymes mediating the conversion have been studied extensively. Zeatin metabolic enzymes may be utilized in studying the regulation of...
