Variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and its component traits in NPT core set of rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Rachana Bagudam, K. B. Eswari, Jyothi Badri and, P. Raghuveer Rao

“…The heritability and genetic advance estimates were moderate for panicle length and high for all the other traits viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of tillers per plant, number of panicles, panicle length, panicle weight, grain number, test weight, single plant yield, plot yield, biomass and harvest index, indicating the influence of additive gene action, as such selection would likely be effective for improvement of these traits.…”

PIF-independent regulation of growth by an evening complex in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha by Ulf Lagercrantz, Anja Billhardt, Sabine N. Rousku, Katarina Landberg, Mattias Thelander, D. Magnus Eklund

“…Here, we studied the growth phenotypes of MpLUX and MpEFL loss-of-function mutants, to establish if PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) and auxin act downstream of the M. polymorpha EC in a growth-related pathway similar to the one described for the flowering plant Arabidopsis. We examined growth rates and cell properties of loss-of-function mutants, analyzed protein-protein interactions and performed gene expression studies using reporter genes. …”

Specialization of the Golden2-like regulatory pathway during land plant evolution. by Bravo-Garcia, A, Yasumura, Y, Langdale, J

“…To determine the extent to which the GLK pathway has diverged in land plants, we compared GLK gene function in the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the moss Physcomitrella patens. * Cross-species complementation experiments were carried out to assess the ability of AtGLK1 to activate downstream targets in P. patens Ppglk1;glk2 double mutants, and the ability of upstream components in A. thaliana to activate PpGLK promoter::AtGLK1 coding region fusions in Atglk1;glk2 double mutants. * The results demonstrate that expression of the A. thaliana AtGLK1 gene cannot rescue the Ppglk1;glk2 mutant phenotype and that P. patens GLK promoter sequences are not activated in A. thaliana. * In combination with previous work which demonstrated partial complementation of A. thaliana double mutants by PpGlk1, this work provides an example of unidirectional complementation between the two species. …”
