Although the function of cytokinins in leaf senescence is well known, the mechanism of cytokinin inhibition of leaf senescence remains to be elucidated. Based on the fact that increased cell-wall invertase acti
The review provides an analysis of the “Green Revolution’ that lead to the development of a number of dwarf/semi-dwarf varieties in cereals. Similar attempts to introduce the dwarf/semi-dwarf plant type trait by mutagenesis or recombination in different genetic backgrounds in oil-seed crops like...
The importance of biostimulants, defined as plant growth-promoting agents that differ notably from fertilizers, is increasing steadily because of their pot
Control of phytochrome activity.aFactors controlling phytochrome activity. Phytochromes exist in two conformations, Pr and Pfr, the latter being the active form. They exist as dimers so three species can be found. Each monomer can be activated by red light (R) and inactivated by far-red light ...
Moreover, the mechanism of a series of complex responses to radiation in plants is not fully comprehended. Therefore, a deeper understanding of plant responses to IR is crucial for com- prehending DNA repair mechanisms and how plants maintain growth after abiotic stresses like IR, providing a ...
OsRR22 is a cytokinin type-B response regulator that regulates Zn uptake by directly influencing the expression of Zn-regulated transporter genes to salt stress (Liu C T et al, 2022). OsZIP9 contributes to root Zn uptake in rice under Zn-limited conditions (Huang et al, 2020). Saline-...
However, the molecular mechanism underlying the fast growth of M. micrantha and the biosynthetic pathways of its characteristic allelochemicals are not yet clear. Asteraceae is not only one of the largest, most valuable plant families, but also contains the largest number of invasive alien species ...
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of such tolerance could lay a foundation for varietal improvement of salt tolerance in rice. In spite of extensive studies exploring the mechanism of salt tolerance, there has been limited progress in breeding for increased salinity tolerance. In this review, we...
During the past decade, the molecular mechanisms of crown gall and hairy root development have been elucidated in considerable detail. It now appears that
Furthermore, the mapping region was narrowed down to 522 kb, and 40 genes were annotated, of which EVM0009818-encoded cytokinin-activated signaling was selected as a candidate gene. Based on RNA-seq data, this gene was differentially expressed in the young fruits of the parent plants. These ...
