Abstract Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) is a model for climacteric fleshy fruit ripening studies. regulated by multiple transcription factors together with the plant hormone ethylene and their downstream effector genes. Transcription Factors APETALA2a (AP2a), NON-RIPENING (NOR) FRUITFULL (FUL1/TDR4 FUL2/MBP7) were reported as master regulators controlling tomato ripening. Their proposed functions derived from studies of phenotype spontaneous mutants or RNAi knock-down lines rather than, it...
Given the susceptibility of tomato plants to pests, aim present study was understand how hormones are involved in formation natural defences against insect herbivory. Tomato hormone mutants, previously introgressed into same genetic background reference, were screened for alterations trichome densities and allelochemical content. Ethylene, gibberellin, auxin mutants indirectly showed alteration density, through effects on epidermal cell area. However, brassinosteroids (BRs) jasmonates (JAs)...
There is a very large diversity in plant architecture nature. Over the past few years, novel theoretical concepts and analytical methods have emerged as powerful tools to understand important aspects of architecture. Plant depends on relative arrangement three types organs: leaves, shoots, flowers. During development, modulated by balance two homologous proteins: FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1). The FT/TFL1 defines growth habit indeterminate or determinate modulating pattern...
Pomegranate [ Punica granatum (Punicaceae)] is characterized by having two types of flowers on the same tree: hermaphroditic bisexual and functionally male flowers. This condition, defined as functional andromonoecy, can result in decreased yields resulting from inability to set fruit. Morphological histological analyses were conducted using light scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterize different flower observed pomegranate plants better understand their developmental differences....
The flowers of most dicotyledons have petals that, together with the sepals, initially protect reproductive organs. Later during development are required to open flower and attract pollinators. This diverse set functions demands tight temporal spatial regulation petal development. We studied functioning Arabidopsis thaliana TCP5-like transcription factors (TFs) in petals. Overexpression TCP5 epidermal cells results smaller petals, whereas tcp5 tcp13 tcp17 triple knockout lines wider an...
Radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Redondo Vermelho) seedlings were analysed by light and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the structural changes caused exposure 0.5 or 1.0 mM cadmium chloride for 24, 48 72 h. The analyses showed in anatomical morphological characteristics of roots, stems leaves two-week-old seedlings. In all tissues, pressure potential was decreased. Premature death with disintegration epidermis an increase number root hairs observed roots exposed Cd. stem Cd...
Cotton is a major fibre crop grown worldwide that suffers extensive damage from chewing insects, including the cotton boll weevil larvae (Anthonomus grandis). Transcriptome analysis was performed to understand molecular interactions between Gossypium hirsutum L. and larvae. The Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform used sequence transcriptome of flower buds infested with larvae.The generated total 327,489,418 reads were aligned G. reference transcriptome. number expressed genes over 21,697 per sample...
During the lifetime of an angiosperm plant various important processes such as floral transition, specification organ identity and determinacy, are controlled by members MADS domain transcription factor family. To investigate possible non-cell-autonomous function proteins, we expressed GFP-tagged clones AGAMOUS (AG), APETALA3 (AP3), PISTILLATA (PI) SEPALLATA3 (SEP3) under control MERISTEMLAYER1 promoter in Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Morphological analyses revealed that epidermal...
Biochemical responses inherent to antioxidant systems as well morphological and anatomical properties of photomorphogenic, hormonal developmental tomato mutants were investigated. Compared the non-mutant Micro-Tom (MT), we observed that malondialdehyde (MDA) content was enhanced in diageotropica (dgt) lutescent (l) mutants, whilst highest levels hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) high pigment 1 (hp1) aurea (au) mutants. The analyses enzymes revealed all exhibited reduced catalase (CAT) activity when...
