Morphogenesis02:19

Morphogenesis

28.9K
Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Epigenetic Regulation

Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

1.1K
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Position-effect Variegation

6.6K
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

7.2K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

  • Developmental Biology
  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Flower architecture in Angiosperms is a complex trait influenced by epigenetic processes.
  • Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) play a crucial role in cell fate determination during early development.
  • Understanding the epigenetic landscape is key to deciphering developmental pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model the epigenetic processes underlying Angiosperm flower architecture.
  • To analyze the GRN of Arabidopsis thaliana during early flower development.
  • To develop a computational method applicable to other GRNs.

Main Methods:

  • Constructing an Epigenetic Forest as a discrete representation of Waddington's Epigenetic Landscape.
  • Defining an optimization problem to model morphogenesis and cell specialization.
  • Solving the optimization problem using a genetic algorithm.

Main Results:

  • The Epigenetic Forest accurately represents the GRN's dynamics.
  • The genetic algorithm successfully recovered the wild-type flower architecture of Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • The proposed method demonstrates the link between GRN dynamics and developmental outcomes.

Conclusions:
