Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), play important roles in growth and development. BR signaling controls the activities of BRASSINOSTERIOD INSENSITIVE1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1/BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BES1/BZR1) family transcription factors. Besides role promoting growth, BRs are also implicated plant responses to drought stress. However, molecular mechanisms by which regulate response have just begun be revealed. The functions WRKY factors BR-regulated not been established, although...
Fundamental and quantitative understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles plant leaves is crucial for advancing field nanoenabled agriculture. Herein, we systematically investigated modeled how ζ potential (−52.3 mV to +36.6 mV) hydrodynamic size (1.7–18 nm) hydrophilic influence delivery efficiency pathways specific leaf cells organelles. We studied agricultural interest including carbon dots (CDs, 0.5 5 mg/mL), cerium oxide (CeO2, silica (SiO2, mg/mL) with two major crop species...
Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) regulate plant growth and stress responses via the BES1/BZR1 family of transcription factors, which expression thousands downstream genes. BRs are involved in response to drought, however mechanistic understanding interactions between BR signalling drought remains be established. Here we show that factor RD26 mediates crosstalk signalling. When overexpressed, BES1 target gene can inhibit BR-regulated growth. Global studies suggest act antagonistically a subset...
Cotton is an important cash crop worldwide, and a significant source of fiber, feed, foodstuff, oil biofuel products. Considerable effort has been expended to increase sustainable yield quality through molecular breeding genetic engineering new cotton cultivars. Given the recent availability whole-genome sequence cotton, it necessary develop tools resources for large-scale analysis gene functions at genome-wide level. We have successfully developed Agrobacterium-mediated virus-induced...
APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family transcription factors have well-documented functions in stress responses, but their roles brassinosteroid (BR)-regulated growth and responses not been established. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis (
Engineered nanomaterials interfaced with plant seeds can improve stress tolerance during the vulnerable seedling stage.
Nano-enabled agriculture is an emerging hot topic. To facilitate the development of nano-enabled agriculture, reviews addressing or discussing applications, knowledge gap, future research needs, and possible new field plant nanobiotechnology in agricultural production are encouraged. Here we review following topics for agriculture: 1) improving stress tolerance, 2) sensing early detection, 3) targeted delivery controlled release agrochemicals, 4) transgenic events non-model crop species, 5)...
Abstract Background Salinity is a worldwide factor limiting the agricultural production. Cotton an important cash crop; however, its yield and product quality are negatively affected by soil salinity. Use of nanomaterials such as cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) to improve plant tolerance stress conditions, e.g. salinity, emerged approach in Nevertheless, date, our knowledge about role nanoceria cotton salt response behind mechanisms still rare. Results We found that PNC (poly acrylic...
Summary Drought is a key limiting factor for cotton ( Gossypium spp.) production, as more than half of the global supply grown in regions with high water shortage. However, underlying mechanism response to drought stress remains elusive. By combining genome‐wide transcriptome profiling and loss‐of‐function screen using virus‐induced gene silencing, we identified hirsutum Gh WRKY 59 an important transcription that regulates cotton. Biochemical genetic analyses revealed stress‐activated...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key component of the signaling system that integrates plant adaptive responses to abiotic stress. Overexpression Arabidopsis molybdenum cofactor sulfurase gene (LOS5) in maize markedly enhanced expression ZmAO and aldehyde oxidase (AO) activity, leading ABA accumulation increased drought tolerance. Transgenic (Zea mays L.) exhibited expected reductions stomatal aperture, which led decreased water loss maintenance higher relative content (RWC) leaf potential. Also,...
Arabidopsis Argonaute10 (AGO10) specifically sequesters miR165 and miR166 antagonizes their activity, thus regulating shoot apical meristem (SAM) development. However, where when this sequestration acts is currently unclear. We show here that AGO10 represses miR165/166 activity in the embryo proper during early embryogenesis, through central regions of mature embryos, eventually entire adaxial domain vasculature cotyledons leaf primordia. These locations are essentially identical to...
Abstract Background Salinity is a big threat to agriculture by limiting crop production. Nanopriming (seed priming with nanomaterials) an emerged approach improve plant stress tolerance; however, our knowledge about the underlying mechanisms limited. Results Herein, we used cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) prime rapeseeds and investigated possible behind nanoceria improved rapeseed salt tolerance. We synthesized characterized polyacrylic acid coated (PNC, 8.5 ± 0.2 nm, −43.3 6.3 mV)...
