Aquilegia as a Model System for the Evolution and Ecology of Petals
(Royal Society, 2010)The ranunculid genus Aquilegia holds extraordinary promise as a model system for investigating a wide range of questions relating to the evolution and ecology of petals. New genetic and genomic resources, including an ... -
Conserved Genetic Modules Controlling Lateral Organ Development: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 and ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 Homologs in the Lower Eudicot Aquilegia (Columbine).
(2013-09-18)Development in multicellular organisms relies on establishing and maintaining gene expression profiles that give cells identity. Transcription factors establish gene expression profiles by integrating positional, temporal, ... -
Conserved Roles for Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 in the Regulation of Lateral Organ Development in Aquilegia X Coerulea 'Origami'
(Springer (Biomed Central Ltd.), 2013)Background: Epigenetic regulation is necessary for maintaining gene expression patterns in multicellular organisms. The Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form several complexes with important and deeply conserved epigenetic ... -
Exploring the development and diversification of the unique Aquilegia nectar spur
(2022-05-09)Angiosperms are the most species-rich and morphologically diverse group in the plant kingdom, yet are also the most recently evolved. The flower itself, unique to the angiosperms, is where much of this diversity is on ... -
Floral Meristem Termination in Aquilegia
(2021-09-09)The persistent activity of stem cells in meristems is the foundation of continuous growth in plants. During the reproductive phase, vegetative meristems that produce leaves will be converted into floral meristems (FMs) to ... -
Identification of Conserved Aquilegia Coerulea MicroRNAs and Their Targets
(Elsevier, 2009)Aquilegia is an emerging model organism that is phylogenetically intermediate between the core eudicot and monocot models, Arabidopsis and Oryza. In this study, we have used a comparative genomics approach to identify 45 ... -
The MADS-Box Gene Family of the Basal Eudicot and Hybrid Aquilegia coerulea ‘Origami' (Ranunculaceae) 1
(Missouri Botanical Garden Press, 2014)The MADS-box genes form a large family of pan-eukaryotic transcription factors that are involved in various aspects of plant growth and development, particularly reproduction. To understand the extent of their conservation ...
