Abstract MicroRNA156 (miR156) functions in maintaining the juvenile phase plants. However, mobility of this microRNA has not been demonstrated. So far, only three microRNAs, miR399, miR395, and miR172, have shown to be mobile. We demonstrate here that miR156 is a potential graft-transmissible signal affects plant architecture tuberization potato (Solanum tuberosum). Under tuber-noninductive (long-day) conditions, shows higher abundance leaves stems, whereas an increase observed stolons under...

To combat pathogen infection, plants employ local defenses in infected sites and elicit systemic acquired resistance (SAR) distant tissues. MicroRNAs have been shown to play a significant role defense, but their association with SAR is unknown. In addition, no such studies of the interaction between potato Phytophthora infestans reported. We investigated miR160 responses P. infection potato. Expression analysis revealed induced levels both leaves wild-type plants. overexpression knockdown...

Hormonal signalling in animals often involves direct transcription factor-hormone interactions that modulate gene expression. In contrast, plant hormone is most commonly based on de-repression via the degradation of transcriptional repressors. Recently, we uncovered a non-canonical mechanism for auxin whereby directly affects activity atypical response factor (ARF), ETTIN towards target genes without requirement protein degradation. Here show binds auxin, leading to dissociation from...

ABSTRACT Gynoecium patterning is dependent on the dynamic distribution of auxin, signalling which transduced through several distinct pathways. ETTIN (ETT)-mediated occurs independently canonical auxin pathway, and ETT shares partial redundancy with Auxin Response Factor 4 (ARF4) in gynoecium. ARF4 were previously hypothesized to translate gradients into patterns tissue polarity alongside other ARFs. As ARF repressors, ETT/ARF assumed antagonistically regulate targets shared activators...

Leaf development is a complex process and factors such as size, shape, curvature, compounding, texture determine the final leaf morphology. MicroRNA160 one of crucial players that has been shown to regulate lamina formation compounding in tomato. In this study, we show miR160 also regulates curvature potato. targets group Auxin Response Factors – StARF10, StARF16, StARF17 are proposed function majorly repressors auxin signaling. We observed overexpression (miR160-OE) results decrease levels...

Storage tuber and root crops (such as potato, yam, sweet cassava, carrot, radish, sugar beet, etc.) form a significant portion of the world’s subsistence food supply. Although these storage are nutritionally rich have diverse roles in medicinal industrial applications, not much research has been conducted on them. The only exception being crop where extensive literature is available, largely molecular signals that control development. Since hold an immense promise for security purposes,...

Abstract Gynoecium polarity establishment is regulated by auxin, a phytohormone whose signal transduced through several pathways. The relationship between the ETT and canonical TIR1/AFB pathways, their relevance for carpel development beyond Arabidopsis thaliana , have not been investigated. data presented here show that expression patterns of ETT-mediated signalling components, phenotypes higher order mutants are shared Capsella rubella . tir1 afb2 ett partially phenocopy arf4 double...
