In seed plants, strigolactones (SLs) regulate architecture and induce mycorrhizal symbiosis in response to environmental cues. SLs are formed by combined activity of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) 7 8 from 9-cis-β-carotene, leading carlactone that is converted cytochromes P450 (clade 711; MAX1 Arabidopsis) into various SLs. As Physcomitrella patens possesses CCD7 CCD8 homologs but lacks MAX1, we investigated if PpCCD7 together with PpCCD8 form how deletion these enzymes...
Abstract Due to climate change, economically important crop plants will encounter flooding periods causing hypoxic stress more frequently. This may lead reduced yields and endanger food security. As roots are the first organ be affected by hypoxia, ability sense respond is crucial. At molecular level, therefore, fine-tuning regulation of gene expression in root essential for hypoxia tolerance. Using an RNA-Seq approach, we investigated transcriptome modulation tomato cultivar ‘Moneymaker’,...
Climate change is expected to lead an increase in precipitation and flooding. Consequently, plants that are adapted dry conditions have adjust frequent flooding periods. In this study, we investigate the response of Medicago truncatula, a Mediterranean plant warm conditions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis plays key role enhancing growth stress tolerance, yet its interactions with environmental stressors such as remain poorly understood. investigated effects colonization on growth,...
Nitric oxide (NO) and cytokinins (CKs) are known for their crucial contributions to plant development, growth, senescence, stress response. Despite the importance of both signals in responses, interaction remains largely unexplored. The interplay between NO CKs emerges as particularly significant not only regarding growth development but also addressing response, context extreme weather events leading yield loss. In this review, we summarize metabolism signaling. Additionally, emphasize...
Abstract Flooding periods, as one probable consequence of climate change, will lead more frequently to plant hypoxic stress. Hypoxia sensing and signaling in the root, first organ encountering low oxygen, is therefore crucial for survival under flooding. Nitric oxide has been shown be main players involved hypoxia through regulation ERFVII transcription factors stability. Using SNP NO donor, we investigated NO-responsive genes, which showed a significant response hypoxia. We identified 395...
In the spring oilseed rape (OSR) cultivar 'Mozart' grown under optimal N supply (NO) or mild deficiency (NL) transcriptome changes associated with progressing age until early senescence in developmentally old lower canopy leaves (leaf #4) and younger higher #8) were investigated. Twelve weeks NO NL plants appeared phenotypically transcriptomically identical, but thereafter distinct nutrition-dependent differences gene expression patterns upper emerged. #4 of 14-week-old compared to...
The flooding of agricultural land leads to hypoxia and nitrate leaching. While understanding the plant's response these conditions is essential for crop improvement, effect extended limitation on subsequent has not been studied in an organ-specific manner. We cultivated
Abstract Climate change will lead to more frequent and severe drought periods which massively reduce crop production worldwide. Besides drought, nitrogen (N)‐deficiency is another critical threat yield production. Drought N‐deficiency both decrease photosynthesis induce similar adaptive strategies such as longer roots, reduction of biomass, induction reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidative enzymes. Due the overlapping response understanding physiological molecular mechanisms involved in...
