Molecular factors involved in the formation of secondary vascular tissues and lignification in higher plants [PDF]

, 2003
The formation of secondary vascular tissues involves complex processes and many steps, a number of which have been examined in detail in this study. A novel CuZn-SOD, with a high pI and thus denoted hipI-SOD, was identified and characterized in Pinus ...

TaWUS‐like‐5D affects grain weight and filling by inhibiting the expression of sucrose and trehalose metabolism‐related genes in wheat grain endosperm

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Plant‐specific WUSCHEL‐related homeobox (Wox) transcription factors (TFs) are crucial for plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanism of Wox‐mediated regulation of thousand kernel weight (TKW) in crops remains elusive. In this research, we identified a major TKW‐associated quantitative trait locus (QTL) on wheat chromosome ...

PtrVINV2 is dispensable for cellulose synthesis but essential for salt tolerance in Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Invertase (EC.3.2.1.26), a key enzyme in sucrose breakdown, is crucial for cellulose synthesis. However, the function of the vacuolar invertase (VINV) in woody plants remains unclear. In this study, transgenic lines of Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray were generated to investigate the role of PtrVINV2 in wood formation and under high salinity

Plant genetic transformation: achievements, current status and future prospects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Regeneration represents a fundamental biological process wherein an organism's tissues or organs repair and replace themselves following damage or environmental stress. In plant systems, injured tree branches can regenerate adventitious buds and develop new crowns through propagation techniques like cuttings and canopy pruning, while transgenic

TaFT‐D1 positively regulates grain weight by acting as a coactivator of TaFDL2 in wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), a multifunctional regulator in crops, modulates multiple key agronomic traits such as flowering time or heading date and plant height; however, its role in grain development regulation is unclear. Herein, through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), we identified TaFT‐D1, which encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine ...

Effects of Gamma Radiation on Salix nigra Marsh Cuttings [PDF]

, 1985
Dormant cuttings of Salix nigra Marsh, were exposed to gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source at a dose rate of 1110 roentgens (r) per minute. Exposure doses ranged from 50 r through 100 Kr with 100% mortality at 10 Kr.

ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 is required for chloroplast development and DNA repair in rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Chloroplast development is fundamental to photosynthesis and plant growth but is sensitive to environmental stress. Chloroplast development and division require genome stability and DNA repair, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Using a forward genetic approach, we identified the striped‐leaf mutant k48 in the rice (Oryza sativa L.
