Enhanced Photosynthesis

Quantity and fluctuation of light conditions cause stress to plants.

Transcription Factors are responsible for fast response to changes in light.

Enhanced Photosynthesis

Regulation in nuclear gene expression and intracellular signaling pathways genomic response to stress

Enzyme detoxifies harmful molecules, which accumulate under very bright light.

Enhanced Photosynthesis

Study of short-term and long-term response factors

Generate plants with increased protection from light and enhanced photosynthesis.

Page 9: Enhanced Photosynthesis and- Cell Memory mecanism

OBSERVATION

In my opinion the importance of this study is directly implicated in the capacity of this organism to eliminate harmful sustances. Future investigations should be centered on the nuclear regulation of gene expressions. I also consider, the posibility of applying this knowlege in the therapeutic field.

Cell Memory Mechanism Discovered

Regulatory DNA sequences

Transcription factors

Binds to sequences

Expresion of proteins

It is critical that the pattern of transcription factor binding in the genome be maintained.

Page 12: Enhanced Photosynthesis and- Cell Memory mecanism

Cell Memory Mechanism Discovered

Transcription factors find original binding region on DNA strands.

large protein complex positioned as a ring around the two DNA strands

Marks places where transcription factors were bound.

Indicator of sequences that contain mutations

COHESIN:

Complete map of transcription factors

Analisis of DNA sequences that bind to cohesin:

Mutations

Page 15: Enhanced Photosynthesis and- Cell Memory mecanism

Cell Memory Mechanism Discovered

Analyse DNA sequences that are located in genes (3% of genome)

DNA sequences that bind to cohesin(1% of genome).

Most Mutations (Cancer) are outside genes.

Page 16: Enhanced Photosynthesis and- Cell Memory mecanism

OBSERVATION

I think this research has an important impact in the biological study of the genome, I consider the cohesin to be a crucial marker in the transcription of specific secuences that can be monitor to explain certain mutations, as well, it plays an important role to create a new investigation base that can be used to develop future therapys in hereditary conditions.
