Dynamics of chromatin accessibility and gene regulation by MADS-domain transcription factors in flower development

Development of eukaryotic organisms is controlled by transcription factors that trigger specific and global changes in gene expression programs. In plants, MADS-domain transcription factors act as master regulators of developmental switches and organ specification. However, the mechanisms by which these factors dynamically regulate the expression of their target genes at different developmental stages are still poorly understood.

Identification of novel motif patterns to decipher the promoter architecture of co-expressed genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Identification of novel motif patterns to decipher the promoter architecture of co-expressed genes in Arabidopsis thaliana | SEED-DREAM Lab info | Scoop.it
The understanding of the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation remains a challenge for molecular biologists in the post-genome era. It is hypothesized that the regulatory regions of genes expressed in the same tissue or cell type share a similar structure. Though several studies have analyzed the promoters of genes expressed in specific metazoan tissues or cells, little research has been done in plants. Hence finding specific patterns of motifs to explain the promoter architecture of co-expressed genes in plants could shed light on their transcription mechanism.

Trends in Plant Science - The rise of operon-like gene clusters in plants

Trends in Plant Science - The rise of operon-like gene clusters in plants | SEED-DREAM Lab info | Scoop.it

""Gene clusters are common features of prokaryotic genomes also present in eukaryotes. Most clustered genes known are involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. ...The predominant source of cluster formation in eukaryotes appears to arise de novo or through gene duplication followed by neo- and sub-functionalization or translocation. Here we aim to provide an overview of the current knowledge and open questions related to plant gene cluster functioning, assembly, and regulation."

OGM : les Etats-membres avancent dans leurs discussions pour la mise en culture

L'Union européenne avance vers un accord pour autoriser la culture des OGM qui se ferait toutefois « à la carte », avec la possibilité pour les Etats d'interdire les semis sur leur territoire, a annoncé la présidence grecque à l'issue d'un débat public entre les ministres de l'Environnement à Bruxelles
