In recognition of the powerful symbolism of suiting up for protest and of the platform they have as professional athletes, five Rams players raised their hands in a "hands up, don't shoot" expression of solidarity with protesters as they took the field in a game against the Oakland Raiders this past November.
By contrast, in rice [ 51] and chrysanthemum, shoot expression exceeds root expression [ 14], whereas in rose no expression is detected in roots [ 52].
These findings indicate that shoot expression analyses of grapevine, while useful, might not give a complete picture of root gene expression patterns, and therefore studies into root responses to abiotic stresses are required.
The shoot expression observed in this study contributes to the idea that the AGL6 lineage may have regained a function in regulating aspects of the floral transition in core eudicots.
Similar results for both root and shoot expression were also obtained with plants stably transformed with p(1.0 BjMTP1:: EYFP (yellow fluorescent protein) (data not shown), and p(1.0 BjMTP1:: mred1 (red fluorescent protein).
The relative shift of the shoot expression pattern towards a more root-like pattern, especially concerning genes encoding plastid proteins, was particularly noteworthy in the light of the effects of long-term cytokinin treatment on the roots described above.
It has been suggested that the constitutively higher shoot expression of MTP1 in these hyperaccumulators is involved in metal hyperaccumulation [ 6, 7], and recent genetic evidence supports this hypothesis [ 8].
Interestingly, in stresses linked to low oxygen caused by flooding (both root and shoot expression), hypoxia or anoxia where the Hb would be expected to contribute to plant fitness via the Hb/NO cycle, GLB1 is induced.
The Yugoslavia case could salvage the reputation of these shout-instead-of-shoot expressions of moral and political outrage.
At the photo shoot, expressions of boldness and daring (wearing a skintight, gold-sequinned dress from Baby Phat, in the case of fifteen-year-old Maribel Martinez, from White Plains) were interspersed with moments of self-consciousness and caution (folding one's arms defensively across the front of said dress, while tugging its plunging neckline upward).
