Abstract Gibberellins (GAs) are essential regulators of plant development, and DELLAs negative GA signaling. The mechanism GA-dependent transcription has been explained by DELLA-mediated titration transcriptional activators their release through the degradation in response to GA. However, effect on genome-wide expression is predominantly repression, suggesting existence unknown mechanisms function. In this study, we identified an Arabidopsis thaliana DELLA binding factor, GAI-ASSOCIATED...
Cell expansion, a developmental process regulated by both endogenous programs and environmental stimuli, is critically important for plant growth. Here, we report the isolation characterization of RSG (for repression shoot growth), transcriptional activator with basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain. To examine role in development, generated transgenic tobacco plants expressing dominant-negative form RSG, which repressed activity full-length RSG. In plants, this expression severely inhibited...
Gibberellins (GAs) are essential regulators of many aspects plant development, including stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. RSG is a transcriptional activator with basic leucine zipper domain that regulates endogenous amounts GAs through the control GA biosynthetic enzyme. The ubiquitous expression in organs suggests an involvement post-transcriptional and/or post-translational modifications transcription factor.

Abstract Flowering is the developmental transition from vegetative to reproductive phase. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION CONSTANS1 (SOC1), and LEAFY (LFY) are floral integrators. These genes repressed by several repressors including EARLY FLOWERING3 (ELF3), SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP), TEMPRANILLO1 (TEM1), TEM2. Although gibberellin (GA) promotes flowering activating integrator genes, exact molecular mechanism remains unclear. DELLAs negative regulators in GA signaling...
REPRESSION OF SHOOT GROWTH (RSG) is a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) transcriptional activator with basic Leu zipper domain that regulates endogenous amounts of gibberellins (GAs) by the control GA biosynthetic enzyme.

A cDNA clone for an auxin-regulated gene was isolated from a tobacco mesophyll protoplast library by differential screening. Nucleotide, sequence analysis showed that the deduced product of gene, which we have designated par, is hydrophilic and composed 220 amino acids. No significant homology to other known proteins detected. The mRNA par approximately 900 bases long its accumulation detected in cultured protoplasts as early 30 min after addition 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid culture...
Abstract Protein kinases are major signaling molecules that involved in a variety of cellular processes.

Previously, we found tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) CDPK1 negatively regulated transcription factor REPRESSION OF SHOOT GROWTH (RSG), which is gibberellin feedback regulation. Here, variable N-terminal domain necessary for...
A servoanalysis of the feedback control system for lens accommodation has been based upon experimental evidence designed to explore nonlinear properties.

Experiments have been designed to demonstrate that the human accommodative system operates with an even-error signal mechanism under restricted monocular viewing conditions. Retinal blur is such input and, thus, these experimental results add evidence considering as effective in accommodation. The random 50 percent erroneous initial direction of movement a null result which should be robust variety artifacts may contaminated previously published results.
Abstract Jasmonate (JA) and gibberellins (GAs) exert antagonistic effects on plant growth development in response to environmental endogenous stimuli. Although the crosstalk between JA GA has been elucidated, role of biosynthesis remains unclear. Therefore, this study, we investigated mechanism underlying JA-mediated regulation levels Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Transient electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that transcription factor MYC2 regulates inactivation genes. Using...
Abstract Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals. Chloroplasts have two isozymes, copper/zinc SOD (Cu/ZnSOD) and iron (FeSOD), encoded by nuclear genes. Because bryophytes considered as earliest land plants, they one most interesting plant models for adaptation against oxidative stress. In a previous study, we found FeSOD gene was expressed under Cu-deficient conditions repressed high-Cu-supply conditions; on other hand,...

As part of an extended search for auxin-regulated genes other than parA and parB in the cDNA library from cultured tobacco mesophyll protoplasts, we have isolated a gene designated parC. This is expressed during transition G0 to S phase cell cycle. The nucleotide sequence parC was similar that parA. Using as probe C-7 by hybridization at reduced stringency. Even though related parC, parA, its mode expression was, our surprise, completely different predominantly mature leaves freshly prepared...
DELLA proteins play a central role in gibberellin (GA) signaling. GA triggers degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby promoting plant growth. An increase cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) was observed previously after several hours of application. Recent studies also suggest existence DELLA-independent response. However, effect on GA-induced [Ca2+]cyt remains unknown. This study reexamined effects GAs using sensor protein aequorin Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). increased...
