Plants constantly monitor their light environment in order to grow and develop optimally, part through use of the phytochromes, which sense red/far-red light. A phytochrome binding protein, PKS1 (phytochrome kinase substrate 1), was identified that is a for light-regulated activity vitro. In vivo experiments suggest phosphorylated phytochrome-dependent manner negatively regulates signaling. The data phytochromes signal by serine-threonine phosphorylation.
Drought and salinity are two major limiting factors in crop productivity. One way to reduce loss caused by drought is increase the solute concentration vacuoles of plant cells. The accumulation sodium ions inside provides a 2-fold advantage: (i) reducing toxic levels cytosol; (ii) increasing vacuolar osmotic potential with concomitant generation more negative water that favors uptake cell better tissue retention under high soil salinity. success this approach was demonstrated several plants,...
The Arabidopsis gene GF14λ that encodes a 14-3-3 protein was introduced into cotton plants to explore the physiological roles might play in plants. expression level of under control cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter varied transgenic plants, and lines expressed demonstrated "stay-green" phenotype improved water-stress tolerance. These wilted less maintained higher photosynthesis than segregated non-transgenic water-deficit conditions. Stomatal conductance appears be major factor for...
Water-deficit stress is a major environmental factor that limits agricultural productivity worldwide. Recent episodes of extreme drought have severely affected cotton production in the Southwestern USA. There pressing need to develop varieties with improved tolerance water-deficit for sustainable water-limited regions. One approach engineer by delaying drought-induced senescence via up-regulation cytokinin biosynthesis. The isopentenyltransferase gene (IPT) encodes rate limiting enzyme...
Over the years, changes in agriculture industry have been inevitable, considering need to feed growing population. As world population continues grow, food security has become challenged. Resources such as arable land and freshwater scarce due quick urbanization developing countries anthropologic activities; expanding agricultural production areas is not an option. Environmental climatic factors drought, heat, salt stresses pose serious threats worldwide. Therefore, utilize remaining water...
Summary The Arabidopsis ankyrin repeat‐containing protein AKR2 was identified as a GF14λ‐interacting in yeast two‐hybrid screening (GF14λ is 14‐3‐3 protein). Reduced expression of by using the antisense technique results small necrotic areas leaves accompanied higher production H 2 O , similar to hypersensitive response pathogen infection plant disease resistance. Transcripts genes encoding pathogen‐induced PR‐1 (pathogen‐related 1) and stress‐responsive GST6 (glutathione S‐transferase 6)...
Brassinosteroids (BRs) have been proposed to increase the resistance of plants drought stress. The effect foliar application 0.1 μM 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on chlorophyll (Chl) content, photosystem 2 (PS 2) photochemistry, membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, relative water content (RWC), proline and antioxidant system in drought-stressed Chorispora bungeana was investigated. results showed that polyethylene glycol (PEG) induced stress decreased RWC, Chl variable maximum fluorescence...
The Arabidopsis gene AtNHX1 encodes a vacuolar membrane-bound sodium/proton (Na+/H+) antiporter that transports Na+ into the vacuole and exports H+ cytoplasm. SOS1 plasma Na+/H+ to extracellular space imports plant cell. Plants rely on these enzymes either keep out of cell or sequester vacuoles avoid toxic level in Overexpression could improve salt tolerance transgenic plants, but improved is limited. NaCl at concentration >200 mM would kill AtNHX1-overexpressing SOS1-overexpressing plants....
The function of abscisic acid (ABA) is mediated by its receptors termed RCARs/PYR1/PYLs. Modulation ABA signaling vital for plant growth and development. RCAR-PP2C-SnRK2 regulatory modules have been defined as the core components in signaling. However, it still not clear whether how could be modified at initial post-translational stage to fine-tune transduction pathway. Here we identify characterize putative receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK) Arabidopsis named CARK1, which interacts...
Abiotic stresses such as extreme temperatures, water-deficit and salinity negatively affect plant growth development, cause significant yield losses. It was previously shown that co-overexpression of the Arabidopsis vacuolar pyrophosphatase gene AVP1 rice SUMO E3 ligase OsSIZ1 in significantly increased tolerance to multiple abiotic led seed for plants grown under single or stress conditions. hypothesized there might be synergistic effects between overexpression overexpression, which could...
Summary The Arabidopsis E3 ligase AtCHIP was found to interact with FtsH1, a subunit of the chloroplast FtsH protease complex. FtsH1 can be ubiquitylated by in vitro , and steady‐state level is reduced ‐over‐expressing plants under high‐intensity light conditions, suggesting that ubiquitylation might lead degradation vivo . Furthermore, another complex, FtsH2, also FtsH2 interacts physically possibility substrate protein for plant cells. A photosystem II reaction center D1, not efficiently...
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is an enzyme consisting of three subunits: a scaffolding A subunit, regulatory B subunit and catalytic C subunit. PP2As were shown to play diverse roles in eukaryotes. In this study, the function Arabidopsis PP2A-C5 gene that encodes 5 PP2A was studied using both loss-of-function gain-of-function analyses. Loss-of-function mutant pp2a-c5-1 displayed more impaired growth during root shoot development, whereas overexpression conferred better under different salt...

Drought is the No. 1 factor that limits agricultural production in world, thus, making crops more drought tolerant a major goal agriculture. Many genes with functions abiotic stress tolerance were identified, and overexpression of these confers increased transgenic plants. The isopentenyltransferase gene (IPT) encodes rate limiting enzyme cytokinin biosynthesis one them. Interestingly, when IPT-transgenic cotton was field-tested at two different sites, Texas Arizona, results obtained. To...
Arabidopsis thaliana AKR2A plays an important role in plant responses to cold stress. However, its exact function resistance stress remains unclear. In the present study, we found that contents of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) akr2a mutants were decreased, and expression level KCS1 was also reduced. Overexpression could enhance VLCFAs chilling tolerance. Yeast-2-hybrid bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) results showed transmembrane motif interacts with PEST both vitro...
