Abstract Enhancing drought tolerance without yield decrease has been a great challenge in crop improvement. Here, we report the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) homodomain-leucine zipper transcription factor Enhanced Drought Tolerance/HOMEODOMAIN GLABROUS11 (EDT1/HDG11) was able to confer and increase grain transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) plants. The improved associated with more extensive root system, reduced stomatal density, higher water use efficiency. plants also had levels of abscisic...
Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors limiting crop production worldwide. Improvement of drought salt tolerance crops with transgenic approach is an effective strategy to meet the demand ever-growing world population. Arabidopsis ENHANCED DROUGHT TOLERANCE1/HOMEODOMAIN GLABROUS11 (AtEDT1/HDG11), a homeodomain-START transcription factor, has been demonstrated significantly improve in Arabidopsis, tobacco, tall fescue rice. Here we report that AtHDG11 also confers upland...
The gaseous phytohormone ethylene participates in the regulation of root growth and development Arabidopsis. It is known that inhibition by involves auxin, which partially mediated action WEAK ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2/ANTHRANILATE SYNTHASE α1 (WEI2/ASA1), encoding a rate-limiting enzyme tryptophan (Trp) biosynthesis, from auxin derived. However, molecular mechanism decreases via ASA1 not understood. Here we report ethylene-responsive AP2 transcription factor, RESPONSE FACTOR1 (ERF1), plays an...
Plant root system morphology is dramatically influenced by various environmental cues. The adaptation of architecture to constraints, which mostly depends on the formation and growth lateral roots, an important agronomic trait. Lateral development regulated external signals coordinating closely with intrinsic signaling pathways. MADS-box transcription factors are known key regulators transition flowering flower development. However, their functions in still poorly understood. Here we report...
Abstract Nitrogen is essential for plant survival and growth. Excessive application of nitrogenous fertilizer has generated serious environment pollution increased production cost in agriculture. To deal with this problem, tremendous efforts have been invested worldwide to increase the nitrogen use ability crops. However, only limited success achieved date. Here we report that NLP7 (NIN-LIKE PROTEIN 7) a potential candidate improve ability. When overexpressed Arabidopsis , increases biomass...
Neutral lipid metabolism is a key aspect of intracellular homeostasis and energy balance plays vital role in cell survival under adverse conditions, including nutrient deprivation yeast mammals, but the triacylglycerol (TAG) plant stress response remains largely unknown. By thoroughly characterizing mutants defective SUGAR-DEPENDENT1 (SDP1) lipase or PEROXISOMAL ABC TRANSPORTER 1 (PXA1), here we show that TAG intermediate mobilization fatty acids from membrane lipids for peroxisomal...
Summary Nitrogen (N) is one of the key essential macronutrients that affects rice growth and yield. Inorganic N fertilizers are excessively used to boost yield generate serious collateral environmental pollution. Therefore, improving crop use efficiency (NUE) highly desirable has been a major endeavour in improvement. However, only few regulators have identified can be improve NUE date. Here we show NIN‐like protein 4 (OsNLP4) significantly improves Field trials consistently showed loss‐of‐...
Autophagy is a major catabolic pathway whereby cytoplasmic constituents including lipid droplets (LDs), storage compartments for neutral lipids, are delivered to the lysosome or vacuole degradation. The autophagic degradation of cytosolic LDs, process termed lipophagy, has been extensively studied in yeast and mammals, but little known about role autophagy metabolism plants. Organisms maintain basal level under favorable conditions upregulate activity stress starvation. Here, we demonstrate...
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is indispensable for crop growth and yield, but excessive agricultural application of nitrogenous fertilizers has generated severe environmental problems. A desirable economical solution to cope with these issues improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Plant NUE been a focal point intensive research worldwide, yet much still be learned about its genetic determinants regulation. Here, we show that rice (Oryza sativa L.) NIN-LIKE PROTEIN 1 (OsNLP1) plays fundamental role...
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for crop growth and yield. Improving the N use efficiency (NUE) of crops important to agriculture. However, molecular mechanisms underlying NUE regulation remain largely elusive. Here we report that OsNLP3 (NIN‐like protein 3) regulates grain yield in rice under sufficient conditions. transcript level significantly induced by starvation its nucleocytosolic shuttling specifically regulated nitrate. Loss‐of‐function reduces plant growth,...
The gaseous hormone ethylene participates in many physiological processes plants. Ethylene-inhibited root elongation involves PIN-FORMED2 (PIN2)-mediated basipetal auxin transport, but the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of PIN2 function by (and therefore distribution) are poorly understood. Here, we report that plant-specific and ethylene-responsive HD-Zip gene HB52 is involved ethylene-mediated inhibition primary Arabidopsis thaliana. Biochemical genetic analyses demonstrated...
Starch and lipids represent two major forms of carbon energy storage in plants play central roles diverse cellular processes. However, whether how starch lipid metabolic pathways interact to regulate metabolism growth are poorly understood. Here, we show that can partially compensate for the lack function transient during normal development Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Disruption synthesis resulted a significant increase fatty acid via posttranslational regulation plastidic...
The recent mechanistic understanding of active sites, adsorbed intermediate products, and rate-determining steps (RDS) nitrogen (N)-modified carbon catalysts in electrocatalytic oxygen reduction (ORR) evolution reaction (OER) are still rife with controversy because the inevitable coexistence diverse N configurations technical limitations for observation formed intermediates. Herein, seven kinds aromatic molecules designated single species used as model structures to investigate explicit role...
Abstract Photosynthesis is sensitive to environmental stress and must be efficiently modulated in response abiotic stress. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we report that ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HOMEOBOX 17 (ATHB17), an Arabidopsis HD-Zip transcription factor, regulated expression of a number photosynthesis associated nuclear genes (PhANGs) involved light reaction ATSIG5 ATHB17 was responsive ABA multiple treatments. -overexpressing plants displayed enhanced...
Abstract Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles critical for energy storage and lipid metabolism. They typically composed of an oil core coated by a monolayer phospholipids proteins such as oleosins. The mechanistic details LD biogenesis remain poorly defined. However, emerging evidence suggest that their formation is spatiotemporally regulated process, occurring at specific sites the endoplasmic reticulum defined set lipids proteins. Here, we show sterols required oleosin-coated...
A novel CuO quantum dot (QD) sensitized In2O3 heterojunction was synthesized by a hydrothermal method and post-calcination process. The as-prepared CuO-QD–In2O3 maintained its photocatalytic activity even under visible light irradiation at long wavelength beyond 650 nm, which has been observed for the first time.
Two parallel pathways compartmentalized in the chloroplast and endoplasmic reticulum contribute to thylakoid lipid synthesis plants, but how these two are coordinated during biogenesis remodeling remains unknown. We report here molecular characterization of a homologous ADIPOSE TRIGLYCERIDE LIPASE-LIKE gene, previously referred as ATGLL. The ATGLL gene is ubiquitously expressed throughout development rapidly upregulated response wide range environmental cues. show that non-regioselective...

One key acclimatory responses involves reorganization membrane system including changes thylakoid stacking. Glycerolipids are main structural component thylakoids their synthesis two pathways localized plastid endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, role lipid metabolism remains poorly understood. We found that fatty acid...
