Putrescine Biosynthesis Inhibition in Tomato by DFMA and DFMO Treatment
Bio-protocol LLC (2016)This protocol can be used to inhibit the biosynthesis of polyamines, specifically putrescine, in tomato plants grown with NH4 + as a solely N source. In general, polyamines are positively charged small metabolites ... -
Putrescine biosynthetic pathways modulate root growth differently in tomato seedlings grown under different N sources
Elsevier (2021-11-16)The biosynthesis of putrescine is mainly driven by arginine decarboxylase (ADC) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Hence, in this study, we generated independent ADC and ODC transgenic silenced tomato lines (SilADC and ... -
Quantification of Callose Deposition in Plant Leaves
Bio-protocol LLC (2015-10)Callose is an amorphous homopolymer, composed of β-1, 3-glucan, which is widespread in higher plants. Callose is involved in multiple aspects of plant growth and development. It is synthetized in plants at the cell plate ... -
Quantification of prominent volatile compounds responsible for muskmelon and watermelon aroma by purge and trap extraction followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry determination
Wiley (2016-01)A dynamic headspace purge-and-trap (DHS-P&T) methodology for the determination and quantification of 61 volatile compounds responsible for muskmelon and watermelon aroma has been developed and validated. The methodology ... -
Rapid and reproducible determination of active gibberellins in citrus tissues by UPLC/ESI-MS/MS
Elsevier (2015)Phytohormone determination is crucial to explain the physiological mechanisms during growth and development. Therefore, rapid and precise methods are needed to achieve reproducible determination of phytohormones. Among ... -
Rapid specialization of counter defenses enables two-spotted spider mite to adapt to novel plant hosts
American Society of Plant Biologists (2021-08-31)Genetic adaptation, occurring over a long evolutionary time, enables host-specialized herbivores to develop novel resistance traits and to efficiently counteract the defenses of a narrow range of host plants. In contrast, ... -
Reciprocal regulation between AtNRT2.1 and AtAMT1.1 expression and the kinetics of NH4+ and NO3− influxes
Elsevier (2012)Our results show that AtNRT2.1 expression has a positive effect on the NH4+ ion influx, mediated by the HATS, as also occurs with AtAMT1.1 expression on the NO3− ion influx. AtNRT2.1 expression plays a key role in the ... -
Reciprocal responses in the interaction between arabidopsis and the cell-content-feeding chelicerate herbivore spider mite
American Society of Plant Biologists (2014)Most molecular-genetic studies of plant defense responses to arthropod herbivores have focused on insects. However, plant-feeding mites are also pests of diverse plants, and mites induce different patterns of damage to ... -
Regulation of citrus responses to the combined actionof drought and high temperatures depends on the severityof water deprivation
Wiley (2018)Plants grown in natural environment are regularly subjected to different combinations of abiotic stresses. Recent studies revealed that citrus plants subjected to a combination of severe drought and high temperatures ... -
Regulatory circuits involving bud dormancy factor PpeDAM6
Springer Nature (2021)DORMANCY-ASSOCIATED MADS-BOX (DAM) genes have recently emerged as key potential regulators of the dormancy cycle and climate adaptation in perennial species. Particularly, PpeDAM6 has been proposed to act as a major ... -
