Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that enables the seeds of many species to remain quiescent
until conditions become favorable for germination. Dormancy is normally initiated during …

Plant and animal microRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily ancient small RNAs, ∼19–24
nucleotides in length, that are generated by cleavage from larger highly structured precursor …

Plant membrane lipids are primarily composed of 16-carbon and 18-carbon fatty acids containing
up to three double bonds. By contrast, the seed oils of many plant species contain fatty …

… (AA Millar and F. Gubler, unpublished data), expression still occurs in anthers. The fact that
expression in the myb65 enhancer trap lacks expression in anthers and contains all these …

… The mutation in the fael gene does not affect VLCFA levels in roots (Millar and Kunst,
unpublished results), indicating that a condensing enzyme other than FAE1 is involved in VLCFA …

Land plants secrete a layer of wax onto their aerial surfaces that is essential for survival in a
terrestrial environment. This wax is composed of long-chain, aliphatic hydrocarbons derived …

We have investigated the relationship between seed dormancy and abscisic acid (ABA)
metabolism in the monocot barley and the dicot Arabidopsis. Whether dormant (D) or non‐…

Currently, there are very few loss-of-function mutations in micro-RNA genes. Here, we
characterize two members of the Arabidopsis MIR159 family, miR159a and miR159b, that are …

To learn more about the role of the CER6 condensing enzyme in Arabidopsis surface wax
production, we determinedCER6 transcription domains and the timing ofCER6 transcription in …

The microRNA159 (miR159) family represses the conserved GAMYB-like genes that
encode R2R3 MYB domain transcription factors that have been implicated in gibberellin (GA) …
