Cytokinins Act Directly on Lateral Root Founder Cells to Inhibit Root Initiation
Laurent Laplaze,Eva Benková,Ilda Casimiro,Lies Maes,Steffen Vanneste,Ranjan Swarup,Dolf Weijers,Vanessa Calvo,Boris Parizot,Boris Parizot,Maria Begoña Herrera-Rodriguez,Remko Offringa,Neil S. Graham,Patrick Doumas,Jiri Friml,Didier Bogusz,Tom Beeckman,Malcolm J. Bennett +17 more
TL;DR: It is observed that cytokinins perturb the expression of PIN genes in lateral root founder cells and prevent the formation of an auxin gradient that is required to pattern lateral root primordia.

The Molecular Cloning of Artemisinic Aldehyde Δ11(13) Reductase and Its Role in Glandular Trichome-dependent Biosynthesis of Artemisinin in Artemisia annua
Yansheng Zhang,Keat H. Teoh,Darwin W. Reed,Lies Maes,Alain Goossens,Douglas J. H. Olson,Andrew R. S. Ross,Patrick S. Covello +7 more
TL;DR: In an effort to understand double bond reduction in artemisinin biosynthesis, extracts of A. annua flower buds were investigated and found to contain artemisinic aldehyde Δ11(13) double bond reductase activity and the corresponding gene Dbr2, encoding a member of the enoate reduct enzyme family with similarity to plant 12-oxophytodienoates, was found to be highly expressed in glandular trichomes.

Dissection of the phytohormonal regulation of trichome formation and biosynthesis of the antimalarial compound artemisinin in Artemisia annua plants
Lies Maes,Filip Van Nieuwerburgh,Yansheng Zhang,Darwin W. Reed,Jacob Pollier,Sofie Vande Casteele,Dirk Inzé,Patrick S. Covello,Dieter Deforce,Alain Goossens +9 more
TL;DR: Analysis of phytohormone-modulated transcriptional regulons provides clues to dissect the concerted regulation of metabolism and development of plant trichomes.
Functional Specialization of the TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 Network Allows Differential Hormonal Control of Laminal and Marginal Trichome Initiation in Arabidopsis Rosette Leaves
TL;DR: This hitherto unknown role for TT8 in trichome formation further underscored the functional redundancy between the three TTG1-dependent bHLH proteins.

Quantitation of artemisinin and its biosynthetic precursors in Artemisia annua L. by high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry.
Filip Van Nieuwerburgh,Sofie Vande Casteele,Lies Maes,Alain Goossens,Dirk Inzé,Jan Van Bocxlaer,Dieter Deforce +6 more
TL;DR: This study reports the development and validation of a rapid, sensitive and selective assay for the quantitation of artemisinin, arteannuin B, artemisitene and artemisinic acid in Artemisia annua L. by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) electrospray (ESI) quadrupole time of flight (Q-TOF) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
