Identification and Characterization of Cell Wall Proteins of a Toxic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella [PDF]

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The cell wall is an important subcellular component of dinoflagellate cells with regard to various aspects of cell surface-associated ecophysiology, but the full range of cell wall proteins (CWPs) and their functions remain to be elucidated.

Genome‐wide transcriptomic and functional analyses provide new insights into the response of spring barley to drought stress

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress that impairs the physiology and development of plants, ultimately leading to crop yield losses. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait influenced by multiple genes and metabolic pathways. However, molecular intricacies and subsequent morphological and physiological changes in response to drought ...

Apocarotenoids are allosteric effectors of a dimeric plant glycosyltransferase involved in defense and lignin formation

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2080-2098, June 2023., 2023
Summary Glycosyltransferases are nature's versatile tools to tailor the functionalities of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules by transferring sugars. Prominent substrates are hydroxycoumarins such as scopoletin, which serve as natural plant protection agents.

A spatiotemporal transcriptomic network dynamically modulates stalk development in maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 2313-2331, December 2022., 2022
Summary Maize (Zea mays) is an important cereal crop with suitable stalk formation which is beneficial for acquiring an ideal agronomic trait to resist lodging and higher planting density. The elongation pattern of stalks arises from the variable growth of individual internodes driven by cell division and cell expansion comprising the maize stalk ...

Unravelling consensus genomic regions conferring leaf rust resistance in wheat via meta‐QTL analysis

The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina Erikss (Pt), is a destructive disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and a threat to food security. Developing resistant cultivars represents a useful method of disease control, and thus, understanding the genetic basis for leaf rust resistance is required. To this end, a comprehensive

Identifying Signal‐Crosstalk Mechanism in Maize Plants during Combined Salinity and Boron Stress Using Integrative Systems Biology Approaches

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Combined stress has been seen as a major threat to world agriculture production. Maize is one of the leading cereal crops of the world due to its wide spectrum of growth conditions and is moderately sensitive to salt stress. A saline soil environment is a major factor that hinders its growth and overall yield and causes an increase in the concentration

Insight into the genetic contribution of maximum yield potential, spikelet development and abortion in barley

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 721-736, November 2021., 2021
To feed the world's ever‐increasing population, new genetic approaches are required. Increasing the number of living spikelets is one promising way to improve grain yield. This, in turn, increases the number of spikelets per plant, thereby increasing the total yield.

Novel sources of resistance to blast disease in finger millet

Crop Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 250-262, January/February 2021., 2021
Abstract Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. subsp. coracana) is the most important millet in eastern Africa and perhaps the oldest domesticated cereal grain in Africa. One of the major factors limiting finger millet production is blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea.
