Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

An evaluation of the effects of over-production of ABA on whole plant water use, growth and productivity [PDF]
Predicted climate change and increasing global populations suggest that water will become an increasingly scarce and valuable commodity. Breeding plants which produce equivalent yields with reduced water input is therefore vital to sustain and ...

Understanding the mechanisms behind onion bulb dormancy in relation to the potential for improved onion storage [PDF]
, 2006 Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most economically important Allium crop. Onion cultivars adapted for growth in temperate regions require long days for bulb initiation, so the summer crop is stored over-winter.

A note on the nomenclatural representation of plant transcription factors, and deviations thereof
The EuroBiotech JournalPlant transcription factors (TFs) are integral proteins associated with gene transcription. That ability arises after TFs bind to specific DNA sequences, such as promoters, responding positively or negatively to a multitude of endogenous and exogenous ...

Involvement of ABA in reduced photosynthesis and stomatal conductance in Cuscuta campestris - Mikania micrantha association [PDF]
, 2011 We investigated whether changes in abscisic acid (ABA) content in leaves of Mikania micrantha infected by the holoparasite Cuscuta campestris at five growth stages, influenced the host stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E) and net ...

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016 Somatic embryogenesis was induced in embryos of Picea abies by adding 2,4-D and BAP to the culture medium. The content of IAA, ABA, zeatin-ribosid and 2ip was determined at various stages of callus tissue formation using ELISA. The process of embryogenic
