Main conclusionThe Young’s modulus of the primary cell walls of pears decreases linearly during the pre-harvest on-tree maturation and increases during postharvest storage, and does not correlate with firmness of fruit. The determination of mechanical properties of cell walls is indispensable for understanding the mechanism of physiological softening and deterioration...
Main conclusionTwo sunflower hydroxyacyl-[acyl carrier protein] dehydratases evolved into two different isoenzymes showing distinctive expression levels and kinetics’ efficiencies. β-Hydroxyacyl-[acyl carrier protein (ACP)]-dehydratase (HAD) is a component of the type II fatty acid synthase complex involved in ‘de novo’ fatty acid biosynthesis in...
Main conclusionA combination of unique EPSPS structure and increased gene copy number and expression contribute to natural glyphosate tolerance in three lilyturf species. A few plants are naturally tolerant to glyphosate, the most widely used non-selective herbicide worldwide. Here, the basis for natural tolerance to glyphosate in three lilyturf...
Main conclusionA metabolic shift in green hairy root cultures of carrot from phenylpropanoid/benzenoid biosynthesis toward volatile isoprenoids was observed when compared with the metabolite profile of normal hairy root cultures. Hairy roots cultures of Daucus carota turned green under continuous illumination, while the content of the major phenolic...
Main conclusionEmbryogenesis-related genes (LdBBM, LdLEC1, LdWOX2andLdSERK) were confirmed in sequence and expression abundance forLarix decidua—these findings are valid for somatic as well as for zygotic embryo development. ...
Main conclusionLand plant cell wall glycan epitopes are present inFucus vesiculosus.RG-I/AG mAbs recognize distinct glycan epitopes in structurally different galactans, and 3-linked glucans are also present in the cell walls. Cell wall-directed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have given increased knowledge...
Main conclusionContrary to the orthodox seeds, recalcitrant Holm oak seeds possess the enzymatic machinery to start germination during the maturation phase. The protein profile of the different parts, mature seeds, of the Holm oak, a non-orthodox plant species, has been characterized using one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled to matrix-assisted...
Main conclusionThis paper provides new insights into source-sink relationships and transpiration processes which will eventually help to interpret δ18O as a genotype selection and ecophysiological tool for maize adaptation to drought. Oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) has been proposed as a phenotyping...
Main conclusionDiverse bioinformatic resources have been developed for plant transcription factor (TF) research. This review presents the bioinformatic resources and methodologies for the elucidation of plant TF-mediated biological events. Such information is helpful to dissect the transcriptional regulatory systems in the three reference plants...
Main conclusionA RhoA-derived peptide fused to carrier molecules from plants showed enhanced biological activity of in vitro assays against respiratory syncytial virus compared to the RhoA peptide alone or the synthetic RhoA peptide. A RhoA-derived peptide has been reported for over a decade as a potential inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus...
Main conclusionThe induction of dormancy release and germination ofAvena fatuacaryopses by KAR1involves ABA degradation to phaseic acid. Both, KAR1and GA3, control the AsA–GSH cycle, DNA replication and accumulation of β-tubulin in embryos before caryopses germination....
Main conclusionOsSAPK8 is an essential activator of OsSLAC1 by phosphorylation, and OsSLAC1 is a nitrate-selective anion channel. S-type anion channel AtSLAC1 and protein kinase AtOST1 have been well-characterized as two core components of ABA signaling cascade in Arabidopsis guard cells, and AtOST1 functions as a main upstream activator of AtSLAC1...
Main conclusionThe meta-QTL and candidate genes will facilitate the elucidation of molecular bases underlying agriculturally important traits and open new avenues for functional markers development and elite alleles introgression in maize breeding program. A large number of QTLs attributed to grain productivity and other agriculturally important...
Main conclusionPunica granatumhas a noticeable adaptation to drought stress. The levels of the green leaf volatile trans-2-hexenal increased in response to drought stress suggesting a possible role of this compound in drought stress response in pomegranate.Punica granatum (L.) is a highly valued fruit...
Main conclusionDuplicated petunia clade-VISPLgenes differentially promote the timing of inflorescence and flower development, and leaf initiation rate. The timing of plant reproduction relative to favorable environmental conditions is a critical component of plant fitness, and is often associated with...
Main conclusionIn grapevines, the increased expression ofVvFT, genes involved in the photoperiodic control of seasonal growth (VvAP1, VvAIL2) and cell cycle genes (VvCDKA, VvCDKB2, ...
Main conclusionLarge-scale comparative phosphoprotein analysis in maize seedlings reveals a complicated molecular regulation mechanism at the phosphoproteomic level during de-etiolation. In the present study we report a phosphoproteomic study conducted on Zea mays etiolated leaves harvested at three time points during greening (etiolated seedlings...
Main conclusionFirst observation that chemical spray can induce limited-transpiration rate under high vapor pressure deficit. It appears that acibenzolar may be key in inducing this water conservation trait. Irrigation and water use have become major issues in management of turfgrasses. Plant health products that have been introduced into the turfgrass...
Main conclusionThe expression of the apple scab resistance geneRvi6in different apple cultivars and lines is not modulated by biotic or abiotic factors. All commercially important apple cultivars are susceptible to Venturia inaequalis, the causal organism of apple scab. A limited number of apple cultivars...
Main conclusionIbZFP1, encoding a Cys2/His2zinc finger protein gene from sweetpotato, enhances salt and drought tolerance in transgenicArabidopsisby regulating ABA signaling pathway, proline biosynthesis, stress responses and ROS scavenging....
