Summary Plant roots respond to environmental stresses or the exogenous plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) by undergoing marked physiological and morphological changes. We show here that PERK4 , a gene encodes member of Arabidopsis thaliana proline‐rich extensin‐like receptor kinase family, plays an important role in ABA responses. Mutation T‐DNA insertion decreased sensitivity with respect seed germination, seedling growth primary root tip growth. The effect on was due enhanced cell...

Current gene delivery methods for maize are limited to specific genotypes and depend on time-consuming labor-intensive tissue culture techniques. Here, we report a new method transfect that is culture-free genotype independent. To enhance efficiency of DNA entry maintain high pollen viability 32%-55%, transfection was performed at cool temperature using pretreated open the germination aperture (40%-55%). Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with encoding either red fluorescent protein (RFP),...

Abstract Plants can grow in soils containing highly variable amounts of mineral nutrients, like Ca2+ and Mn2+, though the mechanisms adaptation are poorly understood. Here, we report first genetic study to determine vivo functions a pump plants. Homozygous mutants Arabidopsis harboring T-DNA disruption ECA1 showed 4-fold reduction endoplasmic reticulum-type calcium activity. Surprisingly, phenotype mutant plants was indistinguishable from wild type when grown on standard nutrient medium 1.5...

Abstract Ca2+ is required for protein processing, sorting, and secretion in eukaryotic cells, although the particular roles of transporters involved secretory system plants are obscure. One endomembrane-type Ca-ATPase from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), AtECA3, diverges AtECA1, AtECA2, AtECA4 sequence; yet, AtECA3 appears similar transport activity to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound AtECA1. Expression a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mutant defective its endogenous pumps conferred...

Abstract Purification of abscisic acid (ABA)-binding proteins is considered to constitute a major step toward isolating ABA receptors. We report here that an ABA-binding protein was for the first time, our knowledge, purified from epidermis broad bean (Vicia faba) leaves via affinity chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and focusing/sodium electrophoresis two-dimensional all identified single band with molecular mass 42 kD point...

Members of the R2R3-MYB transcription factor superfamily have been implicated in plant development, improved disease resistance, and defense responses to several types stresses. To study function TaMYB29 factor-a member superfamily-in response an avirulent race stripe rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), we identified cloned gene from wheat cultivar (cv.) AvS+Yr10 following infection with Pst. The protein, comprising 261 amino acids, contains two highly conserved MYB...

The maize (Zea mays L.) glycosyltransferase family 1 comprises many uridine diphosphate (UGT) members. However, UGT activities and biochemical functions have seldom been revealed. In this study, the genes of two flavonoid di-O-glycosyltransferases ZmUGT84A1 ZmUGT84A2 were cloned from plant expressed in Escherichia coli. Phylogenetic analysis showed that enzymes homologous to AtUGT84A1 AtUGT84A3. recombinant a high conversion rate luteolin its glucosides, mainly 4′,7-di-O-glucoside minorly...

Abstract Drought tolerance is a comprehensive quantitative trait that being understood further at the molecular genetic level. Abscisic acid (ABA) main drought‐induced hormone regulates expression of many genes related to drought responses. 9‐cis‐epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED3) thought be key enzyme in ABA biosynthesis. In this paper, we measured content increase under stress, and sequenced compared sequence AtNCED 3 among 22 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. The results showed fold...

Maize (Zea mays L.) silk contains high levels of flavonoids and is widely used to promote human health. Isoorientin, a natural C-glycoside flavone abundant in maize silk, has attracted considerable attention due its potential value. Although different classes flavonoid have been well characterized plants, the genes involved biosynthesis isoorientin are largely unknown. Here, we targeted metabolic profiling on silks an association panel consisting 294 inbred lines. We identified gene ZmCGT1...
