THE TURNERA STYLE S-LOCUS GENE TSBAHD POSSESSES BRASSINOSTEROID-INACTIVATING ACTIVITY WHEN EXPRESSED IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA

The Turnera Style S-Locus Gene TsBAHD Possesses Brassinosteroid-Inactivating Activity When Expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana

Heterostyly distinct hermaphroditic floral morphs enforce outbreeding.Morphs differ structurally, promote cross-pollination, and physiologically block self-fertilization.In Turnera the self-incompatibility (S)-locus controlling heterostyly SUPER IMMUNE + possesses three genes specific to short-styled morph genomes.Only one gene, TsBAHD, is expresse

Response to the Dorsal Anterior Gradient of EGFR Signaling in Drosophila Oogenesis Is Prepatterned by Earlier Posterior EGFR Activation

Spatially restricted epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity plays a central role in patterning the follicular Zero Wall Wide Seat Recliner epithelium of the Drosophila ovary.In midoogenesis, localized EGFR activation is achieved by the graded dorsal anterior localization of its ligand, Gurken.Graded EGFR activity determines multiple dorsa
