ARABIDOPSIS BRASSINOSTEROID BIOSYNTHETIC MUTANT DWARF7-1 EXHIBITS SLOWER RATES OF CELL DIVISION AND SHOOT INDUCTION

Arabidopsis brassinosteroid biosynthetic mutant dwarf7-1 exhibits slower rates of cell division and shoot induction

Abstract Background Plant growth depends on both cell division and cell expansion.Plant hormones, including brassinosteroids (BRs), are central to the control of these two cellular processes.Despite clear evidence that BRs regulate cell elongation, their roles in cell division have remained elusive.Results Here, we report results emphasizing the im

Deforestation drivers in Southwest Amazonia: Comparing smallholder farmers in Iñapari, Peru, and Assis Brasil, Brazil

Broad interpretation of land use and forest cover studies has been limited by the biophysical and socio-economic uniqueness of the landscapes in which they are carried out and by the multiple temporal and spatial scales of the underlying processes.We coupled a land cover change approach with a political ecology framework to interpret trends in mult
