  text: The synthetic strigolactone (SL) analog, rac-GR24, has been instrumental in
    studying the role of SLs as well as karrikins because it activates the receptors
    DWARF14 (D14) and KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 (KAI2) of their signaling pathways, respectively.
    Treatment with rac-GR24 modifies the root architecture at different levels, such
    as decreasing the lateral root density (LRD), while promoting root hair elongation
    or flavonol accumulation. Previously, we have shown that the flavonol biosynthesis
    is transcriptionally activated in the root by rac-GR24 treatment, but, thus far,
    the molecular players involved in that response have remained unknown. To get
    an in-depth insight into the changes that occur after the compound is perceived
    by the roots, we compared the root transcriptomes of the wild type and the more
    axillary growth2 (max2) mutant, affected in both SL and karrikin signaling pathways,
    with and without rac-GR24 treatment. Quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-PCR,
    reporter line analysis and mutant phenotyping indicated that the flavonol response
    and the root hair elongation are controlled by the ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5)
    and MYB12 transcription factors, but HY5, in contrast to MYB12, affects the LRD
    as well. Furthermore, we identified the transcription factors TARGET OF MONOPTEROS
    5 (TMO5) and TMO5 LIKE1 as negative and the Mediator complex as positive regulators
    of the rac-GR24 effect on LRD. Altogether, hereby, we get closer toward understanding
    the molecular mechanisms that underlay the rac-GR24 responses in the root.

  text: 'The tra-1 gene is a terminal regulator of somatic sex in Caenorhabditis elegans:
    high tra-1 activity elicits female development, low tra-1 activity elicits male
    development. To investigate the function and evolution of tra- 1, we examined
    the tra-1 gene from the closely related nematode C. briggsae. Ce-tra-1 and Cb-tra-1
    are unusually divergent. Each gene generates two transcripts, but only one of
    these is present in both species. This common transcript encodes TRA-1A, which
    shows only 44% amino acid identity between the species, a figure much lower than
    that for previously compared genes. A Cb-tra-1 transgene rescues many tissues
    of tra-1(null) mutants of C. elegans but not the somatic gonad or germ line. This
    transgene also causes nongonadal feminization of XO animals, indicating incorrect
    sexual regulation. Alignment of Ce-TRA-1A and Cb-TRA-1A defined several conserved
    regions likely to be important for tra-1 function. The phenotype differences between
    Ce-tra- 1(null) mutants rescued by Cb-tra-1 transgenes and wild-type C. elegans
    indicate significant divergence of regulatory regions. These molecular and functional
    studies suggest that evolution of sex determination in nematodes is rapid and
    genetically complex.'
