Main conclusionA set ofPpKAI2-LIKEparalogs that may encode strigolactone receptors inPhyscomitrella patenswere identified through evolutionary, structural, and transcriptional analyses,suggesting that strigolactone perception may have evolved independently in basal land plants in a similar manner as spermatophytes....
Main conclusionPlants produce strigolactones with different structures and different stereospecificities which provides the potential for diversity and flexibility of function. Strigolactones (SLs) typically comprise a tricyclic ABC ring system linked through an enol-ether bridge to a butenolide D-ring. The stereochemistry of the butenolide ring...
Main conclusionmiR393 was found to control embryogenic transition in somatic cells in Arabidopsis via control of theTIR1andAFB2auxin receptors genes of the F-box family. miR393 molecules are believed to regulate the expression of the auxin receptors of the TAAR clade. Considering...
Main conclusionElicitation of xanthones is mediated by ROS where Ca2+mediated generation of H2O2activates the shikimate pathway, a key regulator in early steps of xanthone biosynthesis inH. fastigiata...
Main conclusionThe natural OLE-1 high-oleic castor mutant has been characterized, demonstrating that point mutations in the FAH12 gene are responsible for the high-oleic phenotype. The contribution of each mutation was evaluated by heterologous expression in yeast, and lipid studies in developing OLE-1 seeds provided new evidence of unusual fatty acids channeling into TAGs....
Main conclusionDevelopmental inhibition of the maize ear by nitrogen limitation is due to overall down-regulation of nitrogen/carbon metabolism, coordinative hormonal modulation, and probable early senescence. The kernel number is primarily determined from 2 weeks pre-silking to 3 weeks post-silking, largely depending on dynamic nitrogen (N) and...
Main conclusionNitric oxide (NO)-mediated redox signaling plays a role in alleviating the negative impact of water stress in sugarcane plants by improving root growth and photosynthesis. Drought is an environmental limitation affecting sugarcane growth and yield. The redox-active molecule nitric oxide (NO) is known to modulate plant responses to...
Main conclusionFructan accumulation and remobilization to grains under salinity can decrease dependency of the wheat tolerant cultivar on current photosynthesis and protect it from severe yield loss under salt stress. Tolerance of plants to abiotic stresses can be enhanced by accumulation of soluble sugars, such as fructan. The current research sheds light on the...
Main conclusionFe deficiency responses in Strategy I causes a shift from the formation of partially removable hydrous ferric oxide on the root surface to the accumulation of Fe-citrate in the xylem. Iron may accumulate in various chemical forms during its uptake and assimilation in roots. The permanent and transient Fe microenvironments formed during...
Main conclusionThe present review provides insights into the key findings of the hybridization process, crucial factors affecting the adaptation of new technologies within wide hybridization of ornamental plants and presents perspectives of further development of this strategy. Wide hybridization is one of the oldest breeding techniques that contributed...
Main conclusionA metabolic profiling including calculation of energy cost of amino acids biosynthesis in cultured cells ofScrophularia striatashowed that methyl jasmonate-inducible oxidative stress elicited secondary metabolites formation derived from phenylalanine and tyrosine and increased energy cost for these amino acids biosynthesis....
Main conclusionsDeletion of the ancestral gene of the land plant multigene family of receptor like kinase CR4 inPhyscomitrella patensdemonstrates involvement in developmental control of gametophytic and sporophytic organs. The CRINKLY4 (CR4) family of receptor kinases in angiosperms consists of three clades,...
Main conclusionA basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor gene fromAntirrhinum, AmDEL, increases flavonoids accumulation and enhances salt and drought tolerance via up-regulating flavonoid biosynthesis, proline biosynthesis and ROS scavenging genes in transgenic...
Main conclusionSystemic responses to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus reveal opposite phenological patterns in two tomato ripening mutants depending whether ethylene or light reception is involved. The availability of tomato ripening mutants has revealed many aspects of the genetics behind fleshy fruit ripening, plant hormones and light signal reception...
Main conclusionBy separating plasma membrane proteins according to their hydropathy from beetroots grown in saline soils, several proteins probably involved in salt tolerance were identified by mass spectrometry. Beetroots, as a salt-tolerant crop, have developed mechanisms to cope with stresses associated with saline soils. To observe which plasma...
Main conclusionMedicinal plant research is growing significantly in faith to discover new and more biologically compatible phytomedicines. Deposition of huge genome/trancriptome sequence data assisted by NGS technologies has revealed the new possibilities for producing upgraded bioactive molecules in medicinal plants. Growing interest of investors and consumers in...
Main conclusionThis review provides an insight into alien plant invasion taking into account the invasion mechanism of parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorusL.). A multi-lateral understanding of the invasion biology of this weed has pragmatic implications for weed ecology and management. Biological...
Main conclusionA novel plastidial homodimeric insect–plant geranyl pyrophosphate synthase gene is synthesized from three different cDNA origins. Its overexpression inCamelina sativaeffectively alters plant development and terpenoid metabolism. Geranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GPPS) converts one isopentenyl...
