1. Vicia faba determinate and indeterminate inflorescence genotypes : comparison of genetic variation at TFL1 locus
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)Abstract : Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) plants usually express an indeterminate inflorescence growth habit regulated by the gene TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) which allows the apical meristem to continuously produce new vegetative and reproductive plant parts. In turn, this prolongs the growth and flowering period and causes an uneven ripening of the pods. READ MORE

5. Increasing model robustness for stem cell regulation in plant shoots
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The transcription factor WUSCHEL and the peptide CLAVATA3 have key roles to plat in the regulatory network effecting the differentiation of the stem cells at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis. The signal pathway of this network has been under investigation for several years and models utilizing the already identified parts of the network have been developed. READ MORE
