SUMMARY High lipid producing (HLP) tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) is a potential biofuel crop that produces an excess of 30% dry weight as bodies in the form triacylglycerol. While using HLP sustainable fuel source promising, it has not yet been tested for its tolerance to warmer environments are expected near future result climate change. We found had reduced stomatal conductance, which results increased leaf temperatures up 1.5°C higher under control and high temperature (38°C day/28°C...
Abstract The green peach aphid ( Myzus persicae ) is a phloem‐feeding insect that causes economic damage on wide array of crops. Using luminol‐based assay, superoxide‐responsive reporter gene Zat12::luciferase ), and probe specific to hydrogen peroxide (HyPer), we demonstrated this induces accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Arabidopsis thaliana . Similar the apoplastic oxidative burst induced by pathogens, response aphids was rapid transient, with two peaks occurring within 1 4 hr...
Fatty Acid Desaturase 7 (FAD7) generates polyunsaturated fatty acids, promoting the desaturation of chloroplast membranes; it also provides an essential precursor for synthesis jasmonic acid (JA), a phytohormone that can influence plant growth, development, and primary metabolism. This study examined effects spr2, null mutation in SlFAD7, on morphology, photosynthetic traits tomato, Solanum lycopersicum. Although spr2 mutant had lower density stomata than wild-type plants, two genotypes...
ABSTRACT Background Recent developments in hybridization chain reaction (HCR) have enabled robust simultaneous localization of multiple mRNA transcripts using fluorescence situ (FISH). Once split initiator oligonucleotide probes bind their target mRNA, HCR uses DNA base-pairing fluorophore-labeled hairpin sets to self-assemble into large polymers, amplifying the signal and reducing non-specific background. Few studies applied plants, despite its demonstrated utility whole mount animal...
Abstract Cell walls underpin the mechanics of cell growth, intercellular signalling, and defence against pathogenic organisms. β-(1,3)-glucans (also known as callose) are polysaccharides found in plants, fungi, some bacterial species. In developing plant organs, callose accumulates around channels (plasmodesmata) controlling cell-to-cell communication. We developed monoclonal antibodies for detection using these identified distinct populations differing size secondary structure. Callose...
