Toward in vitro fertilization in Brachiaria spp. [PDF]

, 2010
Brachiaria are forage grasses widely cultivated in tropical areas. In vitro pollination was applied to accessions of Brachiaria spp. by placing pollen of non-dehiscent anthers on a solid medium near isolated ovaries.

Decoding plant defense signaling using the defenseless mutant

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Can plants live without defenses? Mutant analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana has identified numerous regulators of biotic, abiotic, and hormone‐based defenses, but the redundancy among separate defense pathways remains unexplored. We constructed an Arabidopsis mutant, defenseless, lacking six canonical defense pathways using abi1‐1 (abscisic acid),

ZmCals12 impacts maize growth and development by regulating symplastic transport

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Carbohydrate partitioning from source to sink tissues is essential for plant growth and development. However, in maize (Zea mays L.), the molecular mechanisms by which callose synthase genes regulate this process remain largely unexplored.

Two salivary proteins Sm10 and SmC002 from grain aphid Sitobion miscanthi modulate wheat defense and enhance aphid performance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The grain aphid Sitobion miscanthi is a serious pest of wheat that causes severe economic damage by sucking phloem sap and transmitting plant viruses. Here, two putative salivary effector homologs from S.

Interplay between JA, SA and ABA isgnalling during basal and induced resistance against pseudomonas syringae and Alternaria brasicicola [PDF]

, 2008
We have examined the role of the callose synthase PMR4 in basal resistance and β‐aminobutyric acid‐induced resistance (BABA‐IR) of Arabidopsis thaliana against the hemi‐biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and the necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria ...

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

Non-separated microspores 1 controls male meiotic callose deposition at the cell plate in rice

Crop Journal
In flowering plants, callose (β-1,3-glucan) plays a vital role in pollen development, especially in the separation and development of microspores. However, the molecular mechanism of callose deposition during rice pollen development remains unclear.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Callose synthase (CalS5) is required for exine formation during microgametogenesis and for pollen viability in Arabidopsis [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2005
SummaryCallose (β‐1,3‐glucan) is produced at different locations in response to biotic and abiotic cues. Arabidopsis contains 12 genes encoding callose synthase (CalS). We demonstrate that one of these genes, CalS5, encodes a callose synthase which is responsible for the synthesis of callose deposited at the primary cell wall of meiocytes, tetrads and ...

Mechanisms of resistance to powdery mildew in cucumber

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2022
Podosphaera xanthii causes powdery mildew of cucumber, and is associated with significant yield and quality losses. Development of resistant or tolerant varieties is the most effective and eco-friendly strategy for powdery mildew management. An important
