Functionality of the MYB1 Transcription Factor in the Transactivation of Leucoanthocyanidin Reductase (LAR) Promoters of Fragaria × Ananassa and Fragaria Chiloensis
MYB transcription factors (TFs) are involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in both Chilean white strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) and commercial strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). There is evidence t...

Molecular Actors Involved in the Softening of Fragaria chiloensis Fruit Accelerated by ABA Treatment
Fragaria chiloensis is a native species from Chile and has interesting attributes such as good taste, aroma, and exotic white color. As the maternal relative of commercial strawberry, it is interesting to underst...

Evaluation of reference genes for transcript normalization in Fragaria chiloensis fruit and vegetative tissues
Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is used extensively in gene expression studies. For adequate comparisons, the identification and use of reliable reference genes are crucial. Nevertheless, the availability...

PrMATE1 Is Differentially Expressed in Radiata Pine Exposed to Inclination and the Deduced Protein Displays High Affinity to Proanthocyanidin Substrates by a Computational Approach
The response to inclination in plants is an attractive and extensively studied biological process. The most commonly held theory proposes a differential growth in stem tissue due to unequal auxin redistributio...

MYB Transcription Factors and a Putative Flavonoid Transporter ABCC-Like are Differentially Expressed in Radiata Pine Seedlings Exposed to Inclination
The response to inclination in plants is a well-studied biological process where hormones have been implicated in the modulation of vertical growth restoration. Studies on the involvement of auxins in differen...

ACC Oxidase and ACC Synthase Expression Profiles after Leaning of Young Radiata (P. radiata D. Don) and Maritime Pine (P. pinaster Ait.) Seedlings
Loss of verticality in conifers affects the normal wood development by inducing changes and chemical modifications in tree stems called compression wood. It is known that ethylene influences the response durin...

Open Access(Not) Kee** the stem straight: a proteomic analysis of maritime pine seedlings undergoing phototropism and gravitropism
Plants are subjected to continuous stimuli from the environment and have evolved an ability to respond through various growth and development processes. Phototropism and gravitropism responses enable the plant...

Transcript profiling suggests transcriptional repression of the flavonoid pathway in the white-fruited Chilean strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Mill.
Beyond their participation in fruit pigmentation and because of their high antioxidant activity, flavonoids are considered important constituents of fruits and vegetables. We have previously reported that in t...
