The circadian clock of plants allows them to cope with daily changes in their environment. This is accomplished by the rhythmic regulation of gene expression, in a process that involves many regulatory steps. One of the ...

The circadian clock is an important endogenous timekeeper, helping plants to prepare for the periodic changes of light and darkness in their environment. The clockwork of this molecular timer is made up of clock proteins ...

The nucleus must coordinate organelle biogenesis and function on a cell and tissue-specific basis throughout plant development. The vast majority of plastid and mitochondrial proteins and components involved in organelle ...

Gene expression programs activated in response to, or in anticipation of, environmental changes involve sequential steps, from transcription and RNA processing to nuclear export and translation. Here we review recent ...

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression are considered key regulatory steps in bacteria. Regulatory molecules such as transcription factors (TF), sigma-factors and small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate ...

In this work, we surveyed the genome of P. protegens CHA0 in order to identify novel mRNAs possibly under the control of the Gac-Rsm cascade that might, for their part, serve to elucidate as-yet-unknown functions involved ...

The circadian clock drives rhythms in multiple physiological processes allowing plants to anticipate and adjust to periodic changes in environmental conditions. These physiological rhythms are associated with robust ...

The biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, the two building blocks for isoprenoid biosynthesis, occurs by two independent pathways in plants. The mevalonic pathway operates in the cytoplasm, ...
