Tasaka M, Kay C, Sommerville S, Grant A, Tsang A
Dev Growth Differ . 2023 Jun; 28(5):471-482. PMID: 37282197
Acid phosphatase-2, as characterized by gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions, is a convenient marker for prestalk cells in Dictyostelium discoideum. We have purified this prestalk-specific enzyme and have examined its...

Morio T, Ozaki T, Takeuchi I, Tasaka M
Dev Growth Differ . 2023 Jun; 33(4):293-298. PMID: 37281863
We have previously isolated several cell-type-enriched mRNAs of Dictyostelium discoideum. Since the temporal pattern of appearance and cell-type-enrichment of these RNAs were examined only by determining their accumulation, it was...

Tasaka M, Maeda Y
Dev Growth Differ . 2023 Jun; 25(4):353-360. PMID: 37281770
Changes of fine structure during prolonged migration of Dictyostelium discoideum slugs were studied by electronmicroscopy. Prespore specific vacuoles of cells located near the substratum gradually degenerated and the prespore antigen...

Fujihara R, Uchida N, Tameshige T, Kawamoto N, Hotokezaka Y, Higaki T, et al.
Plant Biotechnol (Tokyo) . 2021 Nov; 38(3):317-322. PMID: 34782818
The shoot organ boundaries have important roles in plant growth and morphogenesis. It has been reported that a gene encoding a cysteine-rich secreted peptide of the EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-LIKE (EPFL)...
5.
Aida M, Tsubakimoto Y, Shimizu S, Ogisu H, Kamiya M, Iwamoto R, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Aug; 21(16). PMID: 32824181
The shoot meristem, a stem-cell-containing tissue initiated during plant embryogenesis, is responsible for continuous shoot organ production in postembryonic development. Although key regulatory factors including genes are responsible for stem...
6.
Goh T, Toyokura K, Yamaguchi N, Okamoto Y, Uehara T, Kaneko S, et al.
New Phytol . 2019 Jul; 224(2):749-760. PMID: 31310684
Lateral root (LR) formation in Arabidopsis thaliana is initiated by asymmetric division of founder cells, followed by coordinated cell proliferation and differentiation for patterning new primordia. The sequential developmental processes...
7.
Ohbayashi I, Huang S, Fukaki H, Song X, Sun S, Morita M, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2019 Mar; 180(2):896-909. PMID: 30894418
Pyruvate dehydrogenase is the first enzyme (E1) of the PDH complex (PDC). This multienzyme complex contains E1, E2, and E3 components and controls the entry of carbon into the mitochondrial...

Kimata Y, Kato T, Higaki T, Kurihara D, Yamada T, Segami S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2019 Jan; 116(6):2338-2343. PMID: 30651313
In most flowering plants, the asymmetric cell division of the zygote is the initial step in establishing the apical-basal axis of the mature plant. The zygote is polarized, possessing the...

Toyokura K, Goh T, Shinohara H, Shinoda A, Kondo Y, Okamoto Y, et al.
Dev Cell . 2018 Dec; 48(1):64-75.e5. PMID: 30581155
In plants, the position of lateral roots (LRs) depends on initiation sites induced by auxin. The domain of high auxin response responsible for LR initiation stretches over several cells, but...

Kimura Y, Tasaka M, Torii K, Uchida N
Development . 2017 Dec; 145(1). PMID: 29217754
The epidermal cell layer and the tissues that lie underneath have different intrinsic functions during plant development. The stem cells within the shoot apical meristem (SAM) that give rise to...
