Abstract Expansins facilitate cell expansion by mediating pH-dependent wall (CW) loosening. However, the role of expansins in controlling CW biomechanical properties specific tissues and organs remains elusive. We monitored hormonal responsiveness spatial specificity expression localization predicted to be direct targets cytokinin signaling Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). found EXPANSIN1 (EXPA1) homogenously distributed throughout columella/lateral root cap, while EXPA10 EXPA14 localized...
Expansins are cell wall-modifying proteins implicated in plant growth and stress responses. In this study, we explored the differential localization of expansins Arabidopsis thaliana shoots, with a focus on EXPA1, EXPA10, EXPA14 , EXPA15 utilizing pEXPA::EXPA translational fusion lines. Employing chemically inducible system pOp6/LhGR for EXPA1 overexpression high-throughput automatic phenotyping evaluated drought response photosynthetic efficiency under conditions. We observed distinct...
Anthropogenic climate change is altering the distribution of mycotoxigenic fungi, including Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium spp., which produce harmful mycotoxins like aflatoxins fumonisins that can contaminate food feed supplies. These shifts impact agriculture, security, safety, as fungal life cycles depend on temperature, humidity, rainfall. Using high-resolution ERA5-Land data (1950–2021), we have calculated a daily Aflatoxin Risk Index (ARI) to identify high-risk regions...
