Main conclusionThePeNAC1promoter is a non-tissue-specific and stress-inducible promoter containing a GA-responsive element and a MYB recognition sequence that are responsible for induced expression patterns. NAC transcription factors play vital roles in complex signaling networks during plant stress responses...
Main conclusionA combined approach, using a carbohydrate microarray as a support for genomic data, has revealed subtle plant cell-wall remodelling duringTuber melanosporumandCorylus avellanainteraction. Cell walls are involved, to a great extent, in mediating...
Main conclusionColeoptera, the largest and the most diverse Insecta order, is characterized by multiple adaptations to plant feeding. Insect-associated microorganisms can be important mediators and modulators of interactions between insects and plants. Interactions between plants and insects are highly complex and involve multiple factors. There are various defense...
Main conclusionXyloglucan endo-transglycosylase/hydrolase (PhXET/H) regulatesPodophyllumseed germination via GA mediated up-accumulation ofPhXET protein and subsequent endosperm weakening. Abstract Xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase/hydrolase...
Main conclusionThe kinetics of acyl-ACP thioesterases from sunflower importantly changed when endogenous ACPs were used. Sunflower FatB was much more specific towards saturated acyl-ACPs when assayed with them. Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are small (~9 kDa), soluble, acidic proteins involved in fatty acid synthesis in plants and bacteria. ACPs bind...
Main conclusionNaCl alleviates Cd toxicity inSesvium portulacastrumby maintaining plant water status and redox balance, protecting chloroplasts structure and inducing some potential Cd2+chelators as GSH and proline. It has been demonstrated that NaCl alleviates...
Main conclusion The three homeologues of wheat NCED2 were identified; the wheat NCED2A and CYP707A1B affect seed ABA level and dormancy but not leaf ABA level and transpirational water loss in Arabidopsis. Biosynthesis and catabolism of abscisic acid (ABA) in plants are primarily regulated by 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenases (NCEDs) and ABA 8′-hydroxylase (ABA8′OH),...
Main conclusionExpression of 13 genes encoding chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation was evaluated. Chlorophyll degradation was differentially regulated in pollinated and parthenocarpic fig fruits, leading to earlier chlorophyll degradation in parthenocarpic fruits. Varieties of the common fig typically yield a commercial summer crop that requires...
Main conclusionResistance against anthracnose fungi was enhanced in transgenic pepper plants that accumulated high levels of a carboxylesterase, PepEST in anthracnose-susceptible fruits, with a concurrent induction of antioxidant enzymes and SA-dependent PR proteins. A pepper esterase gene (PepEST) is highly expressed during the incompatible interaction...
Main conclusionA new wheat-rye 1BL•1RS translocation line, with the characteristics of superior stripe rust resistance and high thousand-kernel weight and grain number per spike, was developed and identified from progenies of wheat-rye-Psathyrostachys huashanicatrigeneric hybrids. Abstract The wheat-rye 1BL...
Main conclusionIn vitroconditions and benzyladenine influenced both content and composition of micropropagatedMicromeria pulegiumessential oils, with pulegone and menthone being the main essential oil components. The content and chemical composition of Micromeria pulegium...
Main conclusionThe 1.5kbJcAP1promoter from the biofuel plantJatrophacurcasis predominantly active in the inflorescence buds of transgenic plants, in which the −1313/−1057 region is essential for maintaining the activity. ...
Main conclusion This work investigated a correlation between the three-dimensional architecture and compound–components of the brown algal cell wall. Calcium greatly contributes to the cell wall integrity. Brown algae have a unique cell wall consisting of alginate, cellulose, and sulfated polysaccharides. However, the relationship between the architecture and the composition of the...
Main ConclusionThe propagation ofRafflesiaspp. is considered to be important for future development of ornamental and other applications. Thus far, the only successful propagation technique has been grafting. This mini-review succinctly emphasizes what is known aboutRafflesia ...
Main conclusionIn this review we focus on the role of SPA proteins in light signalling and discuss different aspects, including molecular mechanisms, specificity, and evolution. The ability of plants to perceive and respond to their environment is key to their survival under ever-changing conditions. The abiotic factor light is of particular importance for plants...
Main conclusionProteomics and functional analyses of theArabidopsis–Pseudomonas syringaepv.tomatointeractions reveal thatArabidopsisnitrilases are required for plant defense and ...
