Article Abstract
Mobile signals play a key role in controlling the growth of organisms. In Arabidopsis, the cytochrome P450 CYP78A5/KLUH (KLU) non-cell autonomously stimulates cell proliferation in developing organs. In a recent study, we determined the range of KLU action, using a widely applicable system to generate predictable chimaeric plants. We showed that KLU acts not only within individual floral organs or flowers, but that its overall activity level is integrated across an inflorescence to determine organ size. Here, we address the question at which stage of petal development KLU acts to promote growth. We demonstrate that the size of the very young petal primordium in klu mutants is not altered, supporting the conclusion that KLU acts during later stages of organ outgrowth and a correspondingly longer range of the presumed KLU-dependent growth signal.

Seed size is crucial for crop yield and plant ecological fitness. The phytohormone jasmonate regulates Arabidopsis thaliana seed size, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we established that CORONATINE INSENSITIVE1 (COI1)-mediated jasmonate signaling acts maternally to repress seed growth.

CYP78A, a cytochrome P450 subfamily that includes rice (Oryza sativa L.) BIG GRAIN2 (BG2, CYP78A13) and Arabidopsis thaliana KLUH (KLU, CYP78A5), generate an unknown mobile growth signal (referred to as a CYP78A-derived signal) that increases grain (seed) size. However, the mechanism by which the CYP78A pathway increases grain size remains elusive.

Here in, we are reporting electron deficient amide and sulfonamide based tripodal receptors L, L, L and L. Systematic studies show a strong selectivity towards cyanide and azide anions. Detailed UV-Visible and fluorescent spectrometric investigation shows the amide based tripodal receptors L and L acts as a colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent chemo-sensor for cyanide, and the sulfonamide based tripodal receptors L and L acts as a colorimetric and turn-off fluorescent chemo-sensor for azide.

Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in the world and economic burdens on national economies. A cardiac patch approach aims at regenerating an infracted heart by providing healthy functional cells to the injured region via a film carrier substrate, and providing mechanical and electrical support. Selenium acts as an important element in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases but their health-related effects have not been fully explored.

Mitogen-activated dual-specificity MAPK phosphatases are important negative regulators in the MAPK signalling pathways responsible for many essential processes in plants. In a screen for mutants with reduced organ size we have identified a mutation in the active site of the dual-specificity MAPK phosphatase indole-3-butyric acid-response5 (IBR5) that we named tinkerbell (tink) due to its small size. Analysis of the tink mutant indicates that IBR5 acts as a novel regulator of organ size that changes the rate of growth in petals and leaves.
