PARTIAL PICTURE. “Although the identification of target genes of the floral pathway integrators and floral meristem identity factors discussed above is far from complete, it is clear from the limited number of examples currently available that this work will yield detailed insights into the compositions and architectures of the gene networks controlling floral initiation. “ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

THE BEAT BEGINS. “Once floral meristem growth commences, a specific developmental program is activated that leads to the formation of the different types of floral organs in a stereotypic pattern. As outlined above, this key regulatory event is controlled by a small number of floral meristem identity genes, which were originally identified in mutant screens for plants with defects in early flower development.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

BROADER INTEGRATION. “However, the functional distinction between floral integrators and floral meristem identity genes is becoming increasingly blurred because flowering time genes...have been found to participate in floral meristem identity determination and patterning. Thus, integration emerges as a characteristic of the gene network rather than of the genes per se.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

INTERMEDIARY WITH OUTSIDE. “The term “floral pathway integrator” (FPI) was introduced to describe genes that upregulate the meristem identity genes, and whose expression is regulated by flowering pathways that sense environmental or developmental cues (i.e. changes in the expression of the FPI genes serve to integrate the different flowering inputs.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

COORDINATES. “The geocentric solar magnetospheric coordinate system (GSM) is used in the following discussion. In that system, the x-axis points Sunward along the Sun-Earth line, the z-axis is in the plane containing the Sun-Earth line and the dipole axis and points northward, and the y-axis completes the right-handed triad pointing duskward.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

CONNECTION. “These field-aligned currents mediate a strong coupling between the ionosphere and the magnetosphere: The plasma sheet is magnetically connected to the auroral ovals, which encircle the magnetic poles and host continuous, diffuse auroral precipitation in addition to the bright auroral displays associated with events of geomagnetic activity.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

FORMATION. “The magnetospheric structure is maintained by intense electric current systems at the magnetospheric boundaries, across the tail plasma sheet, and parallel to the magnetic field lines connecting the ionosphere with various parts of the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
