In temperate and boreal ecosystems, seasonal cycles of growth dormancy allow perennial plants to adapt winter conditions. We show, in hybrid aspen trees, that photoperiodic regulation is mechanistically distinct from autumnal cessation. Dormancy sets when symplastic intercellular communication through plasmodesmata blocked by a process dependent on the phytohormone abscisic acid. The blockage prevents growth-promoting signals accessing meristem. Thus, precocious disallowed during dormancy....
Abstract In boreal and temperate ecosystems, temperature signal regulates the reactivation of growth (bud break) in perennials spring. Molecular basis temperature-mediated control bud break is poorly understood. Here we identify a genetic network mediating hybrid aspen. The key components this are transcription factor SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE-LIKE (SVL) , closely related to Arabidopsis floral repressor PHASE its downstream target TCP18 tree homolog branching regulator Arabidopsis. SVL...
Abstract Bud-break is an economically and environmentally important process in trees shrubs from boreal temperate latitudes, but its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that two previously reported transcription factors, EARLY BUD BREAK 1 (EBB1) SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE-Like (SVL) directly interact to control bud-break. EBB1 a positive regulator of bud-break, whereas SVL negative negatively regulates expression. We further report the identification characterization EBB3...
Abstract Typical plant membranes and storage lipids are comprised of five common fatty acids yet over 450 unusual accumulate in seed oils various species. Plant important human animal nutrients, while some such as hydroxylated (HFA) used the chemical industry (lubricants, paints, polymers, cosmetics, etc.). Most extracted from non-agronomic crops leading to high production costs. Attempts engineer HFA into unsuccessful due bottlenecks overlapping pathways oil membrane lipid synthesis where...
Significance Perennial plants display seasonal cycles of growth. For example, in the trees boreal temperate forests, growth must cease prior to advent winter and cold hardiness be acquired survive extreme low temperature. Growth cessation activation transcriptional programs underlying adaptive responses associated with are photoperiodically controlled. We show that evolutionarily conserved protein FD implicated control flowering mediates photoperiodic by forming a complex FLOWERING LOCUS T...
Significance In perennial plants such as long-lived trees growing in boreal and temperate forest, transition from summer to winter is associated with induction of growth cessation bud set at the shoot apex. Where plant these seasonal shifts are perceived how communicated apex remain unresolved. We identify leaves a site for perception reveal that components floral FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT ) hormone GA have been recruited function long-range signals communicate changes apical meristem control...
Physaria fendleri is a burgeoning oilseed crop that accumulates the hydroxy fatty acid (HFA), lesquerolic acid, and can be non-toxic alternative to castor for production of industrially valuable HFA. Recently, P. was proposed utilize unique seed oil biosynthetic pathway coined "triacylglycerol (TAG) remodeling" utilizes TAG lipase remove common acids from allowing subsequent incorporation HFA after initial synthesis, yet involved unknown. SUGAR DEPENDENT 1 (SDP1) has been characterized as...
In tropics, combined stresses of drought and heat often reduce crop productivity in plants like Musa acuminata L. We compared responses two contrasting banana genotypes, namely the drought-sensitive Grand Nain (GN; AAA genome) tolerant Hill (HB; AAB to individual drought, their combination under controlled field conditions. Drought treatments caused greater reduction leaf relative water content increase ion leakage H2 O2 GN plants, especially early stages, while were more pronounced HB at...
The spread of highly domesticated, exotic, or genetically modified organisms into wild and feral populations and/or their genes beyond the boundaries plantations can negatively, irreversibly impact health native species pose significant management problems in human-dominated ecosystems (Snow et al., 2005). Therefore, it is imperative to minimize or, if possible, completely avert risks associated with such spread. Containment refers approaches used prevent (Brunner 2007). were first inspired...
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER1/CENTRORADIALIS (TFL1/CEN) are the key regulators of flowering time in plants with FT promoting TFL1 repressing flowering. also controls floral meristem identity its maintenance. In this study we have characterized two pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) TFL1/CEN-like genes designated as PgTFL1 PgCENa. The expression PgCENa fluctuated through alternate pruning cycles, being highly expressed during vegetative phase (immediately after pruning) decreasing...
To identify the chikungunya outbreaks in both indoor and outdoor patients some selected hospitals our locality burden magnitude of disease, to compare different system medicines (allopathic, Ayurvedic, homeopathy etc) explore knowledge, attitude practices pharmacists other health care professionals treatment chikungunya. A six-month study was carried out. Detailed history taken from case history, personal interview doctors suspected cases. Personal data such as name age, sex, location, date...

Summary Reverse-genetic characterization of plant gene function through technologies such as CRISPR/Cas, RNAi, or overexpression requires the ability to efficiently transform species interest. However, efficient transformation systems are not available for most species. Physaria fendleri is an oilseed valued its unusual hydroxylated fatty acids (HFA, e.g. lesquerolic acid) that accumulates up 60% seed oil and a non-toxic alternative castor ( Ricinus communis ) seeds source HFA chemical...
