The propagation of systemic wound signals in plants requires pH-sensitive, Ca 2+ -permeable glutamate receptors.
Low temperature affects seed germination in plants, and low-temperature (LTG) is an important agronomic trait. Natural variation of LTG has been reported rice, but the molecular basis for this largely unknown. Here we report phenotypic analysis 187 rice natural accessions a genome-wide association study (GWAS) collection. A total 53 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were found to be associated with LTG, which 20 located previously QTLs. We further identified Stress-Associated Protein 16...
Abstract Pollen tube tip growth requires intricate Ca 2+ signaling. Recent studies have also identified rapid alkalization factor (RALF)-family peptides and their receptors as critical components for pollen integrity. The functional relationship of RALF calcium signaling modules remains largely unclear. Here we report that disruption pathway abolished the cytosolic gradient in tube, indicating is downstream pathway. We MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O (MLO) family proteins MLO1, 5, 9, 15, channels...
The plant hormones gibberellins (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) play important roles in development stress responses. Here we report a novel A20/AN1-type zinc finger protein ZFP185 involved GA ABA signaling the regulation of growth response. was constitutively expressed various rice tissues. Overexpression results semi-dwarfism phenotype, reduced cell size, decrease endogenous GA3 content. By contrast, higher content observed RNAi plants. application exogenous can fully rescue phenotype...
Multiple transporters and channels mediate cation transport across the plasma membrane tonoplast to regulate ionic homeostasis in plant cells. However, much less is known about molecular function of that facilitate other organelles such as Golgi. We report here Arabidopsis KEA4, KEA5, KEA6, members cation/proton antiporters-2 (CPA2) superfamily were colocalized with Golgi marker, SYP32-mCherry. Although single kea4,5,6 mutants showed similar phenotype wild type under various conditions,...
Phosphate transporters (PHTs) play pivotal roles in phosphate (Pi) acquisition from the soil and distribution throughout a plant. However, there is no comprehensive genomic analysis of PHT families Camelina sativa, an emerging oilseed crop. In this study, we identified 73 CsPHT members belonging to five major families. A whole-genome triplication event was driving force for expansion, with three homoeologs each Arabidopsis ortholog. addition, tandem gene duplications on chromosome 11, 18 20...
Nutrient antagonism typically refers to the fact that too high a concentration of one nutrient inhibits absorption another nutrient. In plants, Ca2+ (Calcium) and Mg2+ (Magnesium) are two most abundant divalent cations, which known have antagonistic interactions. Hence, maintaining their homeostasis is crucial for plant growth development. this study, we showed MTP10 (Metal Tolerance Protein 10) an important regulator Mg Ca in Arabidopsis. The mtp10 mutant displayed severe retardation...
