IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

Auxin is involved in many aspects of plant growth and development such as embryogenesis, organogenesis and vascular tissues differentiation. Auxin can trigger these moltitude of effects since it is polarly transported, and as a consequence specific spatial-temporal auxin gradients are created. The Polar Auxin Transport (PAT) is due to the action of several auxin carriers: among them a major role is played by the 8 PIN proteins. PINs are polarly localized in the cell membrane, they can rapidly cycle inside the cell and a mutual regulation exists between PIN expression patterns and auxin concentration. This research project focuses on the role of auxin during ovule development in Arabidopsis thaliana. We have introduced in Arabidopsis an artificial microRNA (amiRNA) directed against PIN1 that is under the control of an ovule specific promoter. Interestingly microscopic analysis show that in these transgenic plants ovule development is blocked at different stages of development. Preliminary results will be presented.
