LONG-TERM DATA SETS. "Regulation of the saccharide metabolism may provide additional examples of integrating, storing and accessing information on long-term state of the plants' metabolism, including but not limited to the performance of the photosynthetic apparatus." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends contemplating the return to the sea of the seagrasses. Like the whales, these organisms have made this challenging reversal by numerous genetic, biochemical, anatomic, and physiological modifications, rendering them totally different from the creatures that first emerged from the sea to dry land. Their return was not simply a reversal of status, a return to how they were. It was more strenuous — by far — than the twisting of a vertical flatfish face horizontal. View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX DORMANCY. "We are also catching first glimpses of the complex web of hormonal and gene expression regulatory pathways controlling seed dormancy, as well as the intricate interplay of light-dependent signals such as phytochrome modification, circadian rhythms and phytormonones implicated in light-controlled developmental regulation." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

VERNALIZATION EPIGENETICS. "The “memory of winter” involved in seasonally dependent acquisition of flowering competence (vernalization) has been traced down to complex epigenetic regulation of the gene encoding a specific transcription factor in Arabidopsis." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

DATA RECALL BY SEEDS. "Stellaria seeds can recall whether they have been imbibed in darkness or in light even after more than a year." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn
