![]() Rhythmic expression of BOA was also affected in mutant lines of toc1-1, gi-3, and gi-4. Rhythmic expression of other clock genes, including LHY, GIGANTEA ( GI), and TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 ( TOC1), was altered in transgenic lines that overexpress BOA. In transgenic Arabidopsis lines that overexpress BOA, the period length of CCA1 rhythm was increased and the amplitude was enhanced. BOA binds to the promoter of CCA1 through newly identified promoter binding sites and activates the transcription of CCA1 in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the period of BOA rhythm was shortened in cca1-11, lhy-21 (for LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL), and cca1-11 lhy-21 genetic backgrounds. Arabidopsis circadian clock protein CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1) binds to the evening element of the BOA promoter and negatively regulates its expression. Transgenic lines that constitutively overexpress BOA exhibit physiological and developmental changes, including delayed flowering time and increased vegetative growth under standard growing conditions. Rima’s inspirations include the world & language of folktale faces of people who pass her on the street folk music & art of Old Europe & beyond peasant & nomadic living magics of every feather wilderness & plant-lore the margins of thought, experience, community & spirituality & the beauty in otherness.Ĭrumbs fall from Rima’s threadbare coat pockets as she travels, & can be found collected here, where you may join the caravan.BROTHER OF LUX ARRHYTHMO (BOA) is a GARP family transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana and is regulated by circadian rhythms. She's currently rooted in mossy South Devon, halfway between moor and sea. Her gate-building has been a lifelong pursuit, & she hopes to have perhaps propped aside even one spiked loop of bramble (leaving a chink just big enough for a mud-kneeling, trusting eye to glimpse the beauty there beyond), before she goes through herself.Īlways stubborn about living the things that make her heart sing, Rima has lived on wheels a few times in her life. And there I leave him, and you.ĭartmoor, United Kingdom Rima Staines is an artist using paint, wood, word, music, animation, clock-making, puppetry & story to attempt to build a gate through the hedge that grows along the boundary between this world & that. ![]() This morning the "dead" snail was gone! I eventually found him contemplating life half way up a kitchen tile. I managed to connect the washing machine myself (the first one I have ever owned!) and found in the outlet pipe a dead snail, (a hedgehog feast if ever there was one!) which I removed and put to one side on the windowsill. ![]() And in between creating I have been occupied with more prosaic tasks, like collecting a second hand washing machine from a lady in the next village, wrestling with furniture-that-refuses-to ascend-the-steep-and-narrow-stairs, and finding interesting old carpets, brick-a-brack and other magpie delights. In my new Hermitage whilst nesting amongst my own weeds I have been industrious with the paintbrush. Here you can see even earlier branch intentions. This clock was made with apple wood again, I think it is the preceding slice from the same tree that bore the hare-violinist. This little fellow is waiting timidly for the rain I think, under his circus-tent-coloured clock-brolly. My Hedge Brother Clock was made for Gina who told me she loved gardens and umbrellas and hedgehogs and who gave it to her husband Jim on the occasion of his sixty-fourth birthday. Here, in a photo from the archive of The Museum of English Rural Life, a Gypsy family outside Snow Hill near Birmingham roast a hedgehog in clay over the fire. To read more about the Hotchiwitchi, there is an interesting chapter in The Traveller-Gypsies by Judith Okely. Since the hedgehog represented the Gypsy's ideal inner self, the eating of this animal became like a sacred totemic act. There is tell in folktales that the liver of the hedge brother, a great delicacy, was eaten to overcome deceit and find the truth. The meat is rich and was only shared occasionally. Hedgehogs also made for the Gypsies a tasty (and free) meal, often roasted in clay over the open fire. ![]() In addition he is subject to Gorjo (non-gypsy) rumours that he steals eggs, impales apples on his spines to take back to his lair and sucks milk from reclining cows. The hedgehog was highly thought of amongst Gypsies, who compared him to themselves because he lives on the fringes of the wild, neither in the open field nor in the deep forest. And in my latest clock he crouches shortsightedly amongst the weeds holding up an umbrella clock. ![]() H OTCHI WITCHI he is called by the Gypsies, Pal of the Boor - brother of the hedge.
