Molecular Dynamics of Chloroplast Membranes Isolated from Wild-Type Barley and a Brassinosteroid-Deficient Mutant Acclimated to Low and High Temperatures

Biomolecules, 2020
Plants have developed various acclimation strategies in order to counteract the negative effects of abiotic stresses (including temperature stress), and biological membranes are important elements in these strategies.

Climate change and crop resilience: harnessing metabolomics for predicting stress tolerance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summarised methodology for metabolite biomarker discovery and genomic targets selection for those metabolites to predict high‐throughput phenotypic and agronomic traits of interest for direct uptake in breeding programmes. Summary Global warming is driving climate change to levels not experienced since the advent of agriculture, primarily due to ...

Plant Triterpenoid Crosstalk: The Interaction of Brassinosteroids and Phytoecdysteroids in Lepidium sativum

Plants, 2020
Plant steroid alcohols, plant sterols, are essential components of cell membranes that perform many functions. Their most prominent function is maintaining membrane semipermeability and regulating its fluidity through their specific interaction with ...

Cytokinin downregulates Photosystem II photochemistry during prolonged darkness in a phytochrome B‐dependent manner

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cytokinin–phyB signaling modulates PSII photochemistry during prolonged darkness. Summary Cytokinins (CKs) delay dark‐induced senescence, but how they tune photosynthetic function in darkness remains unclear. We investigated the effects of classical aromatic CK benzylaminopurine and CK‐derived compound 1‐(2‐methoxyethyl)‐3‐(1,2,3‐thiadiazol‐5‐yl)urea ...

MdBZR1 and MdBZR1-2like Transcription Factors Improves Salt Tolerance by Regulating Gibberellin Biosynthesis in Apple

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones that play important roles in regulating plant development. In addition, BRs show considerable functional redundancy with other plant hormones such as gibberellins (GAs). BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT1

Impact of Drought Exerted during Spike Development on Tillering, Yield Parameters and Grain Chemical Composition in Semi-Dwarf Barley Mutants Deficient in the Brassinosteroid Metabolism

Agronomy, 2020
Drought is a major factor limiting plant development and negatively affecting crop yield. It was reported that mutants defective in the brassinosteroid (BR) metabolism from several species, including barley (Hordeum vulgare), show improved tolerance to ...

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Hydrogen Gas Enhances Salinity Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings by Regulating the S‐Nitrosylation of MEK1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen gas (H2) effectively alleviates abiotic stress in horticultural plants. Protein S‐nitrosylation, a key post‐translational modification, serves as a critical mechanism for nitric oxide (NO) to exert its biological function under adverse conditions.
