The week's UK GARNet Arabidopsis research roundup includes seven papers
from groups who work on a range of topics.
Firstly Antony Dodd (Bristol) investigates the role of sugar signaling
during hypocotyl elongation and provides an audio description of this
groups work.

Secondly Mike Holdsworth (Nottingham) leads a paper that demonstrates
the importance of the N-rule pathway in the response to abiotic
stresses.
Thirdly are a set of papers that have developed models on three
different topics. Mike Blatt’s group at Glasgow University has a
cross-scale model that is applied to stomatal opening whilst Stan Maree
and Veronica Griensien (JIC) use modeling to predict how the topology of
pavement cells is determined. Finally Arabidopsis is used as an example
that fits a model that investigates how critical mutation rate (CMR)
changes with population size.
In the sixth paper Lorraine Williams and colleagues (University of
Southampton) investigate the function of a rice transport protein
involved in manganese tolerance by expressing it in Arabidopsis.
The final paper from Jerzy Paszkowski (SLCU) outlines a novel screening
strategy for retrotransposons and the identification of an ecotype
specific element.
