October 25th:

Science:

• A chemical genetic roadmap to improved tomato flavor
• Interesting & fun

Plant Journal:

• Map-based cloning of the pear gene MYB114 identifies an interaction with other transcription factors to coordinately regulate fruit anthocyanin biosynthesis
• interesting- something I didn't know about

Development:

• Separate elements of the //TERMINAL FLOWER 1 cis//-regulatory region integrate pathways to control flowering time and shoot meristem identity
• Fruit shape diversity in the Brassicaceae is generated by varying patterns of anisotropy

September 28th:

Science:

• A history of handedness shows how attitudes can influence scientific conclusions

Interesting not relevant

Plant Journal:

• Endogenous sequence patterns predispose the repair modes of CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA double-stranded breaks in Arabidopsis thaliana
• studied the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9-induced mutation spectra at three selected endogenous loci in Arabidopsis via sequencing of long amplicon libraries
• Short deletions/insertions occurred most frequently at all loci
• frequency and size of insertions is increased if a sequence with high similarity to the target site was available
• the broad range of deletion mutations seems to be a peculiar feature of the plant A. thaliana.
• microRNA159-targeted SlGAMYB transcription factors are required for fruit set in tomato
• microRNA159/GAMYB1 and -2 pathway (the miR159/GAMYB1/2 module) is crucial for tomato ovule development and fruit set
• They used this to produce seedless fruit & saw altered effects of gibberellins and auxin pathways

Development:

• nothing that interesting or relevant
