Gibberellin-dependent induction of tomato extracellular invertase Lin7 is required for pollen development

Abstract

The tomato extracellular invertase family comprises four members with different expression patterns. Among the three invertase isoenzymes expressed in floral tissues, Lin5, Lin6 and Lin7, the expression of Lin7 was previously shown to be restricted to the tapetum and pollen. Histochemical analysis of β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter activity shows Lin7 expression in pollen and pollen tubes of corresponding transgenic plants. The physiological relevance of the identification of gibberellin-responsive cis-acting elements for induction of the Lin7 promoter is supported by the repression of Lin7 expression in pollen grains by the gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol. Functional approaches with transgenic tomato plants establish a link between gibberellin action and invertase function in the tapetum for pollen development: both tissue-specific antisense repression of extracellular Lin7 and ectopic inactivation of the biologically active GAs by expression of a GA2-oxidase under control of the Lin7 promoter result in germination deficient pollen. These complementary findings support the idea that the GA requirement of pollen development, pollen germination and pollen tube growth are linked to energy metabolism via the regula...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
