1. Drought Stress Signal Transduction by the HD-Zip Transcription Factors ATHB6 and ATHB7
Abstract : This work describes the regulation of drought stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana and adresses the roles of the homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factors in this regulation. The characteristics of ATHB6 and ATHB7, two genes encoding class I HD-Zip transcription factors were analysed. READ MORE

2. Cell-to-Cell Signalling in Arabidopsis Root Development
Abstract : Development in multicellular organisms requires a strict balance between cell division and differentiation. The simple architecture of the Arabidopsis thaliana root makes it an ideal model for studying molecular mechanisms controlling both the transition from cell division to cell differentiation and cell fate determination.

3. Mechanisms of plant root xylem developmental plasticity in response to water deficiency and salt
Abstract : Plants may be exposed to a variety of different environmental conditions including water deficiency and salt, both affecting the uptake of water into the plant. Water is taken up from the soil by the roots and distributed throughout the plant via the water conducting tissue, the xylem. READ MORE

4. Stelar Performance Under Drought : Regulation of Developmental Robustness and Plasticity of the Arabidopsis Root Xylem
Abstract : Plants have evolved genetic mechanisms to sense, modulate and modify developmental programs in response to the changing environment. This brings forth challenges in stably generating tissue patterns while simultaneously allowing amenability. READ MORE

5. Characterisation of Members of the HD-Zip I and DREB/ERF Transcription Factor Families and their Functions in Plant Stress Responses
Abstract : Plants have to adapt to various environmental conditions. In comparison with other eukaryotes, plant genomes encode relatively many transcription factors, and have families of transcription factors only found in plants, two such are the large AP2/ERF (APETALA2/Ethylene Responsive Factor) and HD-Zip (Homeodomain leucine zipper) families.
