The alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase gene is transcriptionally activated in male and female gametes prior to fertilization and is essential for seed development in Arabidopsis (2008)

Ronceret, Arnaud, Gadea-Vacas, Jose, Guilleminot, Jocelyne, Devic, Martine

Sugar residues in proteoglycan complexes carry important signalling and regulatory functions in biology. In humans, heparan sulphate is an example of such a complex polymer containing glucosamine and...

A bona fide La protein is required for embryogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana (2007)

Fleurdépine, Sophie, Deragon, Jean-Marc, Devic, Martine, Guilleminot, Jocelyne, Bousquet-Antonelli, Cécile

Searches in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome using the La motif as query revealed the presence of eight La or La-like proteins. Using structural and phylogenetic criteria, we identified two putative...

Hordeins are expressed in microspore-derived embryos and also during male gametophytic and very early stages of seed development (2006)

Pulido, Amada, Hernando, Alberto, Bakos, Ferenc, Méndez, Enrique, Devic, Martine, Barnabás, Beata, ...

Microspore-derived embryos induced by anther or isolated-microspore culture display certain characteristics of zygotic embryos. Furthermore, the expression of certain endosperm genes has been...

Seed germination is blocked in Arabidopsis putative vacuolar sorting receptor (atbp80) antisense transformants (2003)

Laval, Valérie, Masclaux, Frédéric, Serin, Arnaud, Carrière, Marguerite, Roldan, Caroline, Devic, Martine, ...

The membrane receptor protein from pea, peabp80, has been shown to function by in vitro binding studies, and in vivo in yeast mutant, as a vacuolar sorting receptor (VSR). Families of proteins with...

Differential expression of the Arabidopsis genes coding for Em-like proteins (2000)

Vicient, Carlos M., Hull, Gillian, Guilleminot, Jocelyne, Devic, Martine, Delseny, Michel

Late embryogenesis abundant (lea) genes are a large and diverse group of genes highly expressed during late stages of seed development. Five major groups of LEA proteins have been...

Cloning of the human glucocorticoid receptor cDNA (1985)

Govindan, Manjapra Variath, Devic, Martine, Green, Stephen, Gronemeyer, Hinrich, Chambon, P.

We show that the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR), isolated from the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, has an apparent molecular weight identical to that of rat liver GR (94 kDa) and reacts with...

Proanthocyanidin-Accumulating Cells in Arabidopsis Testa: Regulation of Differentiation and Role in Seed Development

Debeaujon, Isabelle, Nesi, Nathalie, Perez, Pascual, Devic, Martine, Grandjean, Olivier, Caboche, Michel, ...

Anthocyanidin reductase encoded by the BANYULS (BAN) gene is the core enzyme in proanthocyanidin (PA) biosynthesis. Here, we analyzed the developmental mechanisms that regulate the spatiotemporal...

Control of psbA gene expression: in mature Spirodela chloroplasts light regulation of 32-kd protein synthesis is independent of transcript level

Fromm, Hillel, Devic, Martine, Fluhr, Robert, Edelman, Marvin

Spirodela oligorrhiza plants were used to study direct effects of light on plastid gene expression uncoupled from sequential chloroplast-developmental processes. Specific transcript levels were...

Pollen tube development and competitive ability are impaired by disruption of a Shaker K+ channel in Arabidopsis

Mouline, Karine, Véry, Anne-Aliénor, Gaymard, Frédéric, Boucherez, Jossia, Pilot, Guillaume, Devic, Martine, ...

Sexual reproduction in plants requires elongation of the pollen tube through the transmitting tissues toward the ovary. Tube growth rate is a major determinant of pollen competitive ability. We...

A Network of Local and Redundant Gene Regulation Governs Arabidopsis Seed Maturation

To, Alexandra, Valon, Christiane, Savino, Gil, Guilleminot, Jocelyne, Devic, Martine, Giraudat, Jérôme, ...

In Arabidopsis thaliana, four major regulators (ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3 [ABI3], FUSCA3 [FUS3], LEAFY COTYLEDON1 [LEC1], and LEC2) control most aspects of seed maturation, such as accumulation of...

Redrawing the borderline: Control of DNA replication at fertilization

Ronceret, Arnaud, Devic, Martine

In our recent paper in Plant Journal, we described the transcriptional activation of AtTMPK (thymidylate kinase),1 a recognized G1/S phase marker of the cell cycle progression and its role in early...
