The SHORT-ROOT gene controls radial patterning of the Arabidopsis root through signaling

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the asymmetric cell division. The experiments with the SHORT-ROOT gene that encodes a putative transcription factor with homology to SCARECROW are discussed.

FOG-2, a cofactor for GATA transcription factors, is essential for heart morphogenesis and development of coronary vessels from epicardium

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the FOG-2 gene in mice. The disruption of this gene to define its requirement in vivo has been carried out.

The SCARECROW gene regulates an asymmetric cell division that is essential for generating the radial organization of the Arabidopsis root

Article Abstract:

The cell lineages of the Arabidopsis root meristem are generated when the initial cells undergo asymmetric division. However, mutations such as the scarecrow (SCR) could disrupt the asymmetric division that generates the cortex and endodermis, resulting in roots that are missing one cell layer. A study shows that SCR plays a major role in regulating the root's radial organization.
