Summary The A rabidopsis trichome is a model system for studying cell development, differentiation and the cycle in plants. Our previous studies have shown that ZINC FINGER PROTEIN 5 ( ZFP 5) controls shoot maturation epidermal fate through GA signaling rabidopsis. We identified novel C 2 H zinc finger protein 6 6) which plays key role regulating development . Overexpression of results ectopic trichomes on carpels other inflorescence organs. Gain‐ loss‐of‐function analyses zfp6 mutant...
Abstract Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) trichome development is a model system for studying cell development, differentiation, and the cycle. Our previous studies have shown that GLABROUS INFLORESCENCE STEMS (GIS) family genes, GIS, GIS2, ZINC FINGER PROTEIN8 (ZFP8), control shoot maturation epidermal fate by integrating gibberellins (GAs) cytokinin signaling in Arabidopsis. Here, we show new C2H2 zinc finger protein, ZFP5, plays an important role controlling through GA signaling....
Expansins are cell wall proteins that promote loosening by inducing pH-dependent extension and stress relaxation. required in a series of physiological developmental processes higher plants such as seed germination. Here we identified an Arabidopsis expansin gene AtEXPA2 is exclusively expressed germinating seeds the mutant shows delayed germination, suggesting AtEXP2 involved controlling Exogenous GA application increased expression level during while ABA had no effect on expression....
The expression of the ANR1 MADS-box gene was manipulated in transgenic plants to investigate its role NO3−-dependent regulation root development Arabidopsis thaliana. Constitutive overexpression roots, achieved using GAL4 enhancer trap lines, resulted more rapid early seedling development, increased lengths and numbers lateral roots shoot fresh weight. Based on results obtained with five different tips appears be important for this phenotype than level developing primordia....
Summary Arabidopsis trichome formation is an excellent model for studying various aspects of plant cell development and differentiation. Our previous works have demonstrated that several C2H2 zinc finger proteins, including GIS , 2, ZFP 5, 6 8, control through GA cytokinin signalling in . We identified a novel protein, GLABROUS INFLORESCENCE STEMS 3 ( 3), which key factor regulating In comparison with wild‐type plants, loss‐of‐function mutants exhibited significantly decreased number...
MADS-box transcription factors are vital regulators participating in plant growth and development process the functions of most them still unknown. ANR1 was reported to play a key role controlling lateral root through nitrate signal Arabidopsis. OsMADS25 is one five ANR1-like genes Oryza Sativa belongs clade. Here we have investigated plant's responses external Sativa. Our results showed that protein found nucleus as well cytoplasm. Over-expression significantly promoted primary shoot...
Multiple phytohormones, including auxin, ethylene, and cytokinin, play vital roles in regulating cell development the root epidermis. However, their interactions specific hair developmental stages are largely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we employed genetic pharmacological approaches as well transcriptional analysis order to dissect distinct overlapping initiation elongation Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results show that among only ethylene induces ectopic cells wild-type plants, implying a...
Agriculture is directly linked to human life, providing food for survival and health. It threatened by a number of challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, abiotic stresses, including heavy metals (HMs), salinity, drought, etc. Various strategies have been employed palliate the phytotoxic effects these stressors from soil–plant system. Nanotechnological approaches emerged promising tool increasing crop productivity promoting sustainable agriculture. Interestingly, seed...
Although root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana has been extensively studied, it remains unknown whether the zinc finger proteins, largest family of transcription factors plants, are involved this process. Here we report that C2H2 protein ZINC FINGER PROTEIN 5 (ZFP5) is a key regulator initiation and morphogenesis Arabidopsis. ZFP5 mainly expressed preferentially cells. Using both zfp5 mutants RNAi lines, show reduction function leads to fewer much shorter hairs compared wild-type....
Plants are continuously challenged by various abiotic and biotic stresses. To tide over these adversities, plants evolved intricate regulatory networks to adapt unfavorable environments. So far, many researchers have clarified the molecular genetic pathways involved in regulation of stress responses. However, mechanism through which operate is largely unknown. In this study, we cloned a C2H2-type zinc finger protein gene ZFP3 from Arabidopsis thaliana investigated its function salt osmotic...
In recent decades, global climate change and heavy metal stress have severely affected plant growth biomass, which has led to a serious threat food safety human health. Anthropogenic activities, the rapid pace of urbanization, use modern agricultural technologies further aggravated environmental conditions, resulting in limited crop productivity. This review highlights various adaptive transcriptomic responses plants tolerate detrimental such as drought, salinity, contamination. These...
