Roots constitute important plant organs for water and nutrient uptake. However, they also release a wide range of carbon compounds of low molecular weight. These can amount to between 10% and 20% of total net fixed carbon (Rovira 1991) and form the basis
symmetrical cell with central nucleus apparently tethered to few, massive strands, a cellulosic wall is present at this stage and can be labelled by Calcofluor White, stage 2 (around day 2) first appearance of axiality manifest as ovoid shape, stage 3 (from day 3) rapid cell expansion parall...
While comparing cells expressing either GFP- MYA2-head6IQ or RFP-FABD2, it became evident that the plane of focus of the FABD2-labelled F-actin net was nearly identical to that of the cell surface (Fig. 4K, L). In contrast, the plane of the main focus of myosin-labelled micro...

Interestingly, based on isotope-labelled precursor feeding and partial cosmid sequencing-based bioinformatics prediction, this BGC has long been inferred to be responsible for the biosynthesis of the antibacterial elaiophylin56,57. In 2015, Zhou et al. reported that the thioesterase in the last modu...
Salinity stress conditions can adversely affect plant cells by causing ion toxicity, nutrient imbalance, hyperosmotic stress and oxidative stress leading to cell death (Feng et al., 2014; Hao et al., 2021). Salinity stress can substantially interfere with the normal metabolic and physiological ...
Soil nutrient status and soil-borne diseases are pivotal factors impacting modern intensive agricultural production. The interplay among plants, soil microbiome, and nutrient regimes in agroecosystems is essential for developing effective disease managem
While maintaining cell integrity, the host cell uses the reactive oxygen species as a signal molecule to activate the antioxidant defence system, which in first instance start deposition of lignin in higher quantities that act as first line of defence. On the other hand, the antioxidant system ...
Prior to extraction, plant material must be homogenised to break the cell walls in the tissues (Harrison2011) and thus allow any hormones present to migrate to an appropriate extraction solvent. This can be done by grinding freeze-dried or fresh plant tissue (gram amounts) in a mortar with ...
rapa genome containing 24 conserved chromo- somal blocks (labelled A–X) according to previous reports. The colour coding of these blocks was based on their positions in a proposed ancestral karyotype (AK1-8)62. Most of the BraCOL genes belonged to AK3 (29%), followed by AK1 and AK6 ...
