Toward uncovering an operating system in plant organs.
Published in Trends in plant science
Molecular motifs can explain information processing within single cells, while how assemblies of cells collectively achieve this remains less well understood. Plant fitness and survival depend upon robust and accurate decision-making in their decentralised multicellular organ systems. Mobile agents, including hormones, metabolites, and RNAs, have a...
Update on functional analysis of long non-coding RNAs in common crops
...Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
With the rapid advances in next-generation sequencing technology, numerous non-protein-coding transcripts have been identified, including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are functional RNAs comprising more than 200 nucleotides. Although lncRNA-mediated regulatory processes have been extensively investigated in animals, there has been considera...
Rast in razvoj rastlin različnih vrst iz rodu homulic (Sedum L.)
V diplomski nalogi smo opazovali in merili rastline različnih vrst/sort homulic in hermelik (Sedum L.). Meritve smo izvajali leta 2022 od 21. 03. 2022 do 20. 09. 2022, vsak drugi teden na Laboratorijskem polju Biotehniške fakultete v Ljubljani. V poskus smo vključili rastline osnovne vrste bele homulice (Sedum album) ter sorte Sedum album 'Coral Ca...
Effects of four soil types on growth responses and nutrient stoichiometry in Phellodendron chinense seedlings
Published in Forestry Studies
Phellodendron chinense is an extraordinary medicinal plant, and its stem bark is a famous traditional Chinese medicine in China, containing a number of phytochemicals with biological and pharmacological functions. Studies have shown that the medicinal ingredients in P. chinense from various regions are different, as soil types might be important fa...
Insights into a functional model of key deubiquitinases UBP12/13 in plants.
Published in The New phytologist
Understanding the complexities of protein ubiquitination is crucial, as it plays a multifaceted role in controlling protein stability, activity, subcellular localization, and interaction, which are central to diverse biological processes. Deubiquitinases (DUBs) serve to reverse ubiquitination, but research progress in plant DUBs is noticeably limit...
The effects of polyester microfibres on the development and seed yield of white mustard (Sinapis alba L.)
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
Microplastics are found in agricultural soils worldwide; however, little is known about the impacts of this ubiquitous pollutant on the growth and development of crops. Microfibres are one of the dominant microplastic types found in agricultural soils. Sources of microfibres in the agricultural environment are multiple, including soil amendment app...
Revealing the transitory and local effect of zebularine on development and on proteome dynamics of Salix purpurea
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Introduction DNA methylation plays major roles in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, transposon and transcriptional silencing, and DNA repair, with implications in developmental processes and phenotypic plasticity. Relevantly for woody species, DNA methylation constitutes a regulative layer in cell wall dynamics associated with xylogenes...
The zinc finger protein 3 of Arabidopsis thaliana regulates vegetative growth and root hair development
...Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Introduction Zinc finger protein 3 (ZFP3) and closely related C2H2 zinc finger proteins have been identified as regulators of abscisic acid signals and photomorphogenic responses during germination. Whether ZFP3 and related ZFP factors regulate plant development is, however, not known. Results ZFP3 overexpression reduced plant growth, limited cell ...
