Unlocking basal and acquired thermotolerance potential in tropical sorghum
Basal and acquired thermotolerance of 50 elite tropical sorghum genotypes was assessed in seedlings. Two sets of each assay were conducted following a split plot in a Completely Randomised Design replicated three times in two heat stress treatments in ...

Scanning electron microscope studies of Avena coleoptiles during primary leaf emergence
A scanning electron microscope study of the fine structure of coleoptiles of Avena sativa L. cv. Clintford has revealed information about the relationship between aspects of coleoptilar structure and the emergence of the primary leaf. Stomata are located

Cold weather stresses corn; herbicide injury possible [PDF]
Recent reports of emergence problems in corn (see photos) suggest that the earlier cold temperatures and heavy rains have had a lasting impact on corn stands.

phot1 inhibition of ABCB19 primes lateral auxin fluxes in the shoot apex required for phototropism [PDF]
It is well accepted that lateral redistribution of the phytohormone auxin underlies the bending of plant organs towards light. In monocots, photoreception occurs at the shoot tip above the region of differential growth.

Inclination not force is sensed by plants during shoot gravitropism [PDF]
International audienceGravity perception plays a key role in how plants develop and adapt to environmental changes. However, more than a century after the pioneering work of Darwin, little is known on the sensing mechanism.

Submergence Tolerance and Ethanolic Fermentation In Rice Coleoptiles
The relationship between coleoptile elongation and ethanolic fermentation was investigated in live cultivars of germinating rice Oryza sativa L.) seeds submerged for 48 h under anoxia.

Priming winter wheat seeds with the bacterial quorum sensing signal N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) shows potential to improve plant growth and seed yield [PDF]
Several model plants are known to respond to bacterial quorum sensing molecules with altered root growth and gene expression patterns and induced resistance to plant pathogens.

Seed Germination and Coleoptile Growth of New Rice Lines Adapted to Hypoxic Conditions
We investigated the morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) during the germination and post-germination phases to explore avoidance of hypoxic conditions. We compared four lines selected for anaerobic germination (AG lines) with the variety
