Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of plant steroid hormones that essential for growth and development. BRs control important agronomic traits responses to abiotic stresses. Through the signaling pathway, expression thousands genes, resulting in variety biological responses. The key effectors BR pathway two transcription factors (TFs): BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) BRI1-EMSSUPPRESSOR (BES1). Both TFs phosphorylated inactivated by Glycogen synthase kinase 3 BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE2...
In wheat, adult plant resistance (APR) to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina), is effective in restricting pathogen growth and provides durable against a wide range of virulent forms P. triticina. Despite the importance, there limited knowledge on molecular basis this type resistance. We isolated characterized wall-associated kinase encoding gene assigned it as TaWAK6. Localization TaWAK6 homeologs A B wheat subgenomes was consistent with presence gene's orthologs T. urartu (AA) dicoccoides...
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) is a highly conserved present in all eukaryotes and functions as key regulator of wide range physiological developmental processes. The kinase, known land plants GSK3/SHAGGY-like (GSK), player the brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathway. GSK genes, through BRs, affect diverse processes modulate responses to environmental factors. In this work, we describe functional analysis HvGSK1.1, which one orthologs barley. RNAi-mediated silencing target HvGSK1.1 gene...
Hydrogen peroxide is a signal and effector molecule in the plant response to pathogen infection. Wheat resistance Puccinia triticina Eriks. associated with necrosis triggered by oxidative burst. We investigated which enzyme system dominated host reaction P. triticina The susceptible Thatcher cultivar isogenic lines defined genes were inoculated spores. Using diamine oxidase (DAO) polyamine (PAO) inhibitors, accumulation of H2O2 was analyzed infection sites. Both enzymes participated...
