Phytochrome A mediates blue-light enhancement of second-positive phototropism in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Hypocotyl phototropism of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings is primarily mediated by the blue-light receptor kinase phototropin 1 (phot1). Phot1-mediated curvature to continuous unilateral blue light irradiation (0.5 µmol m-2 s-1) is enhanced by overhead ...

Cellular mechanisms for cargo delivery and polarity maintenance at different polar domains in plant cells [PDF]
The asymmetric localization of proteins in the plasma membrane domains of eukaryotic cells is a fundamental manifestation of cell polarity that is central to multicellular organization and developmental patterning.

Gibberellin Signaling in the Endodermis Controls Arabidopsis Root Meristem Size [PDF]
Plant growth is driven by cell proliferation and elongation. The hormone gibberellin (GA) regulates Arabidopsis root growth by controlling cell elongation, but it is currently unknown whether GA also controls root cell proliferation. Here we show that GA biosynthetic mutants are unable to increase their cell production rate and meristem size after ...

Pythium species from rice roots differ in virulence, host colonization and nutritional profile [PDF]
Background: Progressive yield decline in Philippine aerobic rice fields has been recently associated with three closely related Pythium spp., P. arrhenomanes, P. graminicola and P. inflatum.

Suberin goes genomics: Use of a short living plant to investigate a long lasting polymer
Suberin is a highly persistent cell wall polymer, predominantly composed of long-chain hydroxylated fatty acids. Apoplastic suberin depositions occur in internal and peripheral dermal tissues where they generate lipophilic barriers preventing ...

The dynamics of silicon deposition in the sorghum root endodermis [PDF]
• The dynamics of silica deposition and Si aggregates formation in inner tangential walls of root endodermal cells, which occurs as an additional stage of endodermal development in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), were studied. • An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and X-ray microanalyzer (EDAX) were used to study sorghum roots grown ...

Light regulates the expression and function of aquaporins, which are involved in water and solute transport. In Arabidopsis thaliana, mRNA levels of one of the aquaporin genes, TIP2;2, increase during dark adaptation and decrease under far-red light ...
