What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Biosynthesis of 24-methylene brassinolide is an alternative route for generating CS, which is mediated and regulated by DWF1 in Arabidopsis.
    Title: Function and molecular regulation of DWARF1 as a C-24 reductase in brassinosteroid biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
  2. both Delta(5,7)-sterol-Delta(7)-reductase and Delta(24)-sterol-Delta(24)-reductase are in addition localized to the plasma membrane, whereas Delta(7)-sterol-C(5)-desaturase was clearly detected in lipid particles
    Title: Plant sterol metabolism. Δ(7)-Sterol-C5-desaturase (STE1/DWARF7), Δ(5,7)-sterol-Δ(7)-reductase (DWARF5) and Δ(24)-sterol-Δ(24)-reductase (DIMINUTO/DWARF1) show multiple subcellular localizations in Arabidopsis thaliana (Heynh) L.
  3. Data indicate a role for DIM1 in secondary cell wall formation.
    Title: DIMINUTO 1 affects the lignin profile and secondary cell wall formation in Arabidopsis.
  4. The genomic location of the EVE1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana corresponded to a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) F4C21 from chromosome IV at ~17cM which encoded a novel ubiquitin family protein (At4g03350), consisting of a single exon.
    Title: Overexpression of EVE1, a novel ubiquitin family protein, arrests inflorescence stem development in Arabidopsis.
  5. results provide direct proof that Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated signalling has a critical role in controlling the function of DWF1 [DWARF1]
    Title: Ca2+/calmodulin is critical for brassinosteroid biosynthesis and plant growth.
  6. Overproduction and repression of Dim/dwf1 resulted in contrasting phenotypes, with repressors mimicking the brd2 phenotype and overproducers having large stature with increased numbers of flowers and seeds.
