Grass species represent a major source of food, feed, and fiber crops potential feedstocks for biofuel production. Most the biomass is contributed by cell walls that are distinct in composition from all other flowering plants. Identifying wall-related genes their functions underpins fundamental understanding growth development these species. Toward this goal, we building knowledge base maize (Zea mays) involved wall biology, expression profiles, phenotypic consequences mutation. Over 750...

Adventitious root (AR) formation is a critical developmental process in cutting propagation for the horticultural industry. While auxin has been shown to regulate this process, exact mechanism and details preceding AR remain unclear. Even though lateral (LR) share common processes, there are exist some differences that need be closely examined at cytological level. Tomato stem cuttings, which readily form adventitious roots, represent perfect system study influence of on compare LR...

Blue light regulates multiple processes that optimize capture and gas exchange in plants, including chloroplast movement, changes stomatal conductance, altered organ positioning. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), these are primarily modulated by the blue phototropin photoreceptors phot1 phot2. Changes leaf positioning shape involve several signaling components include NON-PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL3, PHYTOCHROME KINASE SUBSTRATE, ROOT PHOTOTROPISM2, alterations localized auxin streams....

FK506-BINDING PROTEIN 42/TWISTED DWARF 1 (FKBP42/TWD1) directly regulates cellular trafficking and activation of multiple ATP-BINDING CASSETTE (ABC) transporters from the ABCB ABCC subfamilies. abcb1 abcb19 double mutants exhibit remarkable phenotypic overlap with twd1 including severe dwarfism, stamen elongation defects, compact circinate leaves; however, greater loss polar auxin transport additional helical twisting roots, inflorescences, siliques. As abcc1 abcc2 do not any visible...

Abstract Background The 29-member Arabidopsis AHL gene family is classified into three main classes based on nucleotide and protein sequence evolutionary differences. These differences include the presence or absence of introns, type and/or number conserved AT-hook PPC domains. members are divided two phylogenetic clades, Clade-A Clade-B. A majority 29 remain functionally uncharacterized. Furthermore, biological significance DNA peptide diversity, observed in motifs domains found different...

Abstract Soluble phosphate availability is a major limiting factor for plant growth, development, and yield. To assure constant phosphorous supply, plants employ both high- low-affinity acquisition mechanisms. Glyphosate an herbicide widely used throughout the world, previous studies have suggested that it can be transported across plasma membrane via transporters in herbaceous species. The effects of status on glyphosate uptake were investigated tree grand eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus grandis W....

Abstract Brassinosteroids ( BRs ) are essential plant growth‐promoting hormones involved in many processes throughout development, from seed germination to flowering time. Since do not undergo long‐distance transport, cell‐ and tissue‐specific regulation of hormone levels involves both biosynthesis inactivation. To date, ten BR ‐inactivating enzymes, with at least five distinct biochemical activities, have been experimentally identified the model Arabidopsis thaliana . Epigenetic...
