Auxin inhibits chlorophyll accumulation through ARF7-IAA14-mediated repression of chlorophyll biosynthesis genes in Arabidopsis by Wei-Gui Luo, Wei-Gui Luo, Wei-Gui Luo, Qi-Wen Liang, Yi Su, Chao Huang, Bei-Xin Mo, Yu Yu, Lang-Tao Xiao

“…Here, we found the auxin-defective yuc2 yuc6 double mutant displayed dark-green leaf color with higher chlorophyll content than wildtype, suggesting a negative regulatory role of auxin in chlorophyll biosynthesis. The chloroplast number and structure in mesophyll cells were altered and the photosynthetic efficiency was improved in yuc2 yuc6. …”

Effect of geographic isolation on genetic variation and population structure of Euphrasia nankotaizanensis, a threatened endemic alpine herb in Taiwan by Syuan-Yu Chen, Chi-Chun Huang, Yu-Tzu Cheng, Chih-Chiang Wang, Chiuan-Yu Li, I-Ling Lai, Kuo-Hsiang Hung

“…In this study, we investigated the effects of the natural isolation of alpine habitats on the genetic diversity and geographic structure of populations of E. nankotaizanensis using chloroplast (cp) and nuclear DNA (nrDNA) markers. We found lower levels of genetic diversity in E. nankotaizanensis than in other alpine plants and little to no genetic variation within populations, which could be mainly attributed to the small population size and genetic drift. …”
