Abstract Background Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) is a relevant crop cultivated over the world, largely in water insufficiency vulnerable areas. Since drought main environmental factor restraining worldwide production, efforts have been invested to amend tolerance commercial common varieties. However, scarce molecular data are available for those cultivars of P. with attributes. Results As first approach, Pinto Saltillo (PS), Azufrado Higuera (AH), and Negro Jamapa Plus (NP) were...
The moss Pseudocrossidium replicatum is a desiccation-tolerant species that uses an inducible system to withstand severe abiotic stress in both protonemal and gametophore tissues. Desiccation tolerance (DT) the ability of cells recover from air-dried state. Here, was identified as fully (FDT) species. Its gametophores rapidly lost more than 90% their water content when exposed low-humidity atmosphere [23% relative humidity (RH)], but abscisic acid (ABA) pretreatment diminished final loss...
Mosses in conjunction with hornworts and liverworts are collectively referred to as bryophytes. These seedless, nonvascular plants the closest extant relatives of early terrestrial their study is essential understand evolutionary first steps land plants. Here we report complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence Pseudocrossidium replicatum, a moss belonging Pottiaceae family that common central highlands Mexico, South America, southern USA, Kenia. The cp (plastome) P. replicatum 123,512 bp...
Bryophytes are the earliest plant group on Earth. They a fundamental component of many ecosystems around World. Some their main roles related to soil development, water retention, and biogeochemical cycling. include liverworts, hornworts, mosses. The sequencing chloroplast mitochondria genomes has been useful elucidate taxonomy this heterogeneous group. To date, despite ecological importance only 41 mosses mitogenomes have deposited in GenBank. Here, complete genome sequence Pseudocrossidium...
Abstract Distichlis spicata var. stricta (L) Greene is a grass able to grow during drought or flooding seasons, as well in poor, saline, and alkaline soils, making it an ideal model system study salinity water stress tolerance plants. However, known have extremely low germination rate the field, 3%. Here, we established vitro conditions factors that affect D. under osmotic salt stress. Treatments included mechanical scarification, 4°C stratification, 20% NaDCC (w/v) disinfection...
