The GL1 Gene and the Trichome Developmental Pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana

  • Conference paper

Part of the Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation book series (RESULTS,volume 20)

Abstract

Developmental decisions in organisms as diverse as bacteriophage λ, Saccaromyces cerevisia, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorabditis elegans, and Arabidopsis thaliana are regulated by transcription factors. In multicellular organisms, these transcription factors ultimately control the expression of genes responsible for the differentiation of various cell types. During the course of evolution, a relatively limited group of DNA-binding domains have diversified to take on a wide range of transcriptional regulation functions. One such conserved DNA-binding motif is present in the myb family of transcriptional activators, which has been identified in a wide variety of organisms (reviewed in Löscher and Eisenman 1990; Graf 1992).
