Chloroplasts Modulate Elongation Responses to Canopy Shade by Retrograde Pathways Involving HY5 and Abscisic Acid
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2019-02)
Plants use light as energy for photosynthesis but also as a signal of competing vegetation. Using different concentrations of norflurazon and lincomycin, we found that the response to canopy shade in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis ...
A customizable method to characterize Arabidopsis thaliana transpiration under drought conditions
(BMC, 2019)
Background: Characterization of the dynamic response of plant transpiration to decreasing soil water content in
a reproducible way is required for the correct phenotyping of traits related to water saving strategies. ...
Chemical priming of immunity without costs to plant growth
(Wiley, 2018)
b-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) induces broad-spectrum disease resistance, but also represses
plant growth, which has limited its exploitation in crop protection. BABA perception relies on
binding to the aspartyl-tRNA synthetase ...
Accurate and easy method for systemin quantifcation and examining metabolic changes under diferent endogenous levels
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background: Systemin has been extensively studied since it was discovered and is described as a peptidic hormone
in tomato plants and other Solanaceae. Jasmonic acid and systemin are proposed to act through a positive ...
Effect of Trichoderma viride pre‐inoculation in pine species with different levels of susceptibility to Fusarium circinatum: physiological and hormonal responses
(2019)
Pine pitch canker (PPC), caused by Fusarium circinatum, affects Pinus species worldwide. Although no effective solutions have yet been found to control it, there is a growing interest in using biological control agents ...
1-Methyltryptophan Modifies Apoplast Content in Tomato Plants Improving Resistance Against Pseudomonas syringae
(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-31)
Plants can produce numerous natural products, many of which have been shown to
confer protection against microbial attack. In this way, we identified 1-methyltryptophan
(1-MT), a natural compound produced by tomato plants ...
Fatty Acid Profile Changes During Gradual Soil Water Depletion in Oats Suggests a Role for Jasmonates in Coping With Drought
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07-31)
Although often investigated within the context of plant growth and development and/or
seed composition, plant lipids have roles in responses to environment. To dissect
changes in lipid and fatty acid ...
Expression of two barley proteinase inhibitors in tomato promotes endogenous defensive response and enhances resistance to Tuta absoluta
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background: Plants and insects have coexisted for million years and evolved a set of interactions which affect both organisms at different levels. Plants have developed various morphological and biochemical adaptations to ...
Attenuated accumulation of jasmonates modifies stomatal responses to water deficit
(Oxford University PressSociety for Experimental Biology, 2018-02)
To determine whether drought-induced root jasmonate [jasmonic acid (JA) and jasmonic acid-isoleucine (JA-Ile)] accumulation affected shoot responses to drying soil, near-isogenic wild-type (WT) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ...
Characterization of Citrus WRKY transcription factors and their responses to phytohormones and abiotic stresses
(Springer Verlag, 2018-01)
WRKY transcription factors (TF) family is involved in a huge variety of plant processes, including seed germination, plant development, phytohormone signalling, and defence against both biotic or abiotic stresses. In this ...
