  abstract  = {Metabolites influence flowering time, and thus are among the major determinants of yield. Despite the reported role of trehalose 6-phosphate and nitrate signaling on the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive phase, little is known about other metabolites contributing and responding to developmental phase changes. To increase our understanding which metabolic traits change throughout development in Arabidopsis thaliana and to identify metabolic markers for the vegetative and reproductive phases, especially among individual amino acids (AA), we profiled metabolites of plants grown in optimal (ON) and limited nitrogen (N) (LN) conditions, the latter providing a mild but consistent limitation of N. We found that although LN plants adapt their growth to a decreased level of N, their metabolite profiles are strongly distinct from ON plant profiles, with N as the driving factor for the observed differences. We demonstrate that the vegetative and the reproductive phase are not only marked by growth parameters such as biomass and rosette area, but also by specific metabolite signatures including specific single AA. In summary, we identified N-dependent and -independent indicators manifesting developmental stages, indicating that the plant's metabolic status also reports on the developmental phases.},

  abstract  = {Arabidopsis thaliana HYL1 is a nuclear doublestranded RNA-binding protein involved in the maturation of pri-miRNAs. A quantitative real-time PCR platform for parallel quantification of 176 primiRNAs was used to reveal strong accumulation of 57 miRNA precursors in the hyl1 mutant that completely lacks HYL1 protein. This approach enabled us for the first time to pinpoint particular members of MIRNA family genes that require HYL1 activity for efficient maturation of their precursors. Moreover, the accumulation of miRNA precursors in the hyl1 mutant gave us the opportunity to carry out 3' and 5' RACE experiments which revealed that some of these precursors are of unexpected length. The alignment of HYL1- dependent miRNA precursors to A. thaliana genomic sequences indicated the presence of introns in 12 out of 20 genes studied. Some of the characterized intron-containing pri-miRNAs undergo alternative splicing such as exon skipping or usage of alternative 5' splice sites suggesting that this process plays a role in the regulation of miRNA biogenesis. In the hyl1 mutant intron-containing pri-miRNAs accumulate alongside spliced primiRNAs suggesting the recruitment of HYL1 into the miRNA precursor maturation pathway before their splicing occurs.},
