Exogenous brassinosteroids alleviate calcium deficiency-induced tip-burn by maintaining cell wall structural stability and higher photosynthesis in mini Chinese Cabbage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Tip-burn has seriously affected the yield, quality and commodity value of mini Chinese cabbage. Calcium (Ca2+) deficiency is the main cause of tip-burn.

Brassinosteroid overproduction improves lignocellulose quantity and quality to maximize bioethanol yield under green-like biomass process in transgenic poplar

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background As a leading biomass feedstock, poplar plants provide enormous lignocellulose resource convertible for biofuels and bio-chemicals. However, lignocellulose recalcitrance particularly in wood plants, basically causes a costly bioethanol ...

Functional Characterization of Arylalkylamine N-Acetyltransferase, a Pivotal Gene in Antioxidant Melatonin Biosynthesis from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Antioxidants, 2022
Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) is a pivotal enzyme in melatonin biosynthesis that catalyzes the conversion of serotonin to N-acetylserotonin. Homologs of animal AANAT genes are present in animals, but not in plants. An AANAT homolog was found

Over-expression of a chimeric gene of the transcriptional co-activator MBF1 fused to the EAR repressor motif causes developmental alteration in Arabidopsis and tomato [PDF]

, 2008
Transcriptional co-activators of the Multiprotein Bridging Factor1 (MBF1) type belong to a multigenic family that encode key components of the machinery controlling gene expression by communicating between transcription factors and the basal ...

AGP and EXO-LIKE genes promote brassinosteroid-dependent anisotropic growth. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The brassinosteroid pathway promotes anisotropic cell expansion; however, the effectors in this process remain unclear. Candidates include ARABINOGALACTAN PROTEIN (AGP) genes, which are prominent brassinosteroid‐responsive transcriptional targets, and EXORDIUM (EXO)‐LIKE (EXL) genes.

RNA interference knockdown of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 in maize reveals novel functions for brassinosteroid signaling in controlling plant architecture [PDF]

, 2015
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones involved in various growth and developmental processes. The BR signaling system is well established in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) but poorly understood in maize (Zea mays ...

Genetic evidence that brassinosteroids suppress pistils in the maize tassel independent of the jasmonic acid pathway

Plant Direct, 2023
The developmental genetics of reproductive structure control in maize must consider both the staminate florets of the tassel and the pistillate florets of the ear synflorescences.

Diverse biological effects of glycosyltransferase genes from Tartary buckwheat [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an edible cereal crop whose sprouts have been marketed and commercialized for their higher levels of anti-oxidants, including rutin and anthocyanin. UDP-glucose flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs)
