It's terrific to be able to view the whole of Matthew Barney's Cremaster series in one gallery, that Ring Cycle of phantasmagorical films shot on 35mm in the blinding white salt flats of Utah, in Canada, Japan and the icescapes of Alaska, with its outlandish cast of performers including Richard Serra, Björk and Norman Mailer.
We quantified transcripts of genes that are involved in progression of the cell cycle in shoot apices of wild-type, eal-1, and eal-1/eal-3 plants.
Our data additionally demonstrated that UV-B stress leads to significant reductions in the expression of genes from the second half of the TCA cycle, such as fumarase and MDH simultaneously to increments on transcripts level of genes from the first half of the TCA cycle in shoot tissue (fig. 7 A).
Although the wild-type BOB1 gene plays an inhibitory role in the expression of ETT/ARF3 and class 1 KNOX genes (Fig. 3A), it acts positively to maintain appropriate levels of transcripts of cell cycle-related genes to ensure the proper progression of the cell-division cycle in shoot and root apices (Figs 7C, 8).
Two main meristems remain active during the whole life-cycle of plants: the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the root apical meristem (RAM).
The life cycle of the barley plant, especially the shoot and seed provide an excellent model for plant development studies.
In conifers, as in other plant species, many physiological and biological processes are synchronized with the day/night cycle of their environment, such as photosynthesis, shoot elongation, growth in height, and xylem pressure potential of saplings [ 1- 4].
The shoot strikes me as a clumsier, low-budget reincarnation of the Cycle 3 trampoline shoot -- four nondescript male cheerleaders (no comment) fling the contestants upwards, to scattered degrees of success.
The death of leaves and of shoot systems is part of the plant's adaptation to the cycle of the seasons.
So rough was that patch, Meldrum-Hanna warns potential investigative reporters "to prepare for the blowback": that the nine week cycle of three weeks research, three weeks shooting and three weeks post-production and editing is only the start of the assignment.
