The domestication of plant architecture in African rice [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2018
SummaryPlant architecture is a key agronomical factor determining crop yield and has been a major target of cereal crop domestication. The transition of plant architecture from the prostrate tiller of typical African wild rice (Oryza barthii) to the erect tiller of African cultivated rice (Oryza glaberrima) was a key step during domestication of ...

Transcriptomic analysis using olive varieties and breeding progenies identify candidate genes involved in plant architecture

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Plant architecture is a critical trait in fruit crops that can significantly influence yield, pruning, planting density and harvesting. Little is known about how plant architecture is genetically determined in olive, were most of the existing varieties ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Architecture and evolution of a minute plant genome [PDF]

Nature, 2013
It has been argued that the evolution of plant genome size is principally unidirectional and increasing owing to the varied action of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) and mobile element proliferation. However, extreme genome size reductions have been reported in the angiosperm family tree.

Fine Mapping of Bush Gene and Development of Molecular Marker for Bush Type in Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.)

Agronomy
The bush trait is an important agronomic trait with great value for pumpkin crops. In this study, a bush-type line, CS82, identified in pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) showed no obvious main vine, and all petioles clustered at the extremely shortened stem ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

From shade avoidance responses to plant performance at vegetation level: using virtual plant modelling as a tool

, 2014
The shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) is one of the best-studied forms of plant phenotypic plasticity. The suite of SAS responses enables plants to accurately match their phenotype to the light conditions determined by neighbouring plants, especially the ...

The art of being flexible: how to escape from shade, salt and drought: The art of being flexible: how to excape from shade, salt and drought [PDF]

, 2014
Environmental stresses, such as shading of the shoot, drought, and soil salinity, threaten plant growth, yield, and survival. Plants can alleviate the impact of these stresses through various modes of phenotypic plasticity, such as shade avoidance and ...

GWAS for the identification of introgressed candidate genes of Sinapis alba with increased branching numbers in backcross lines of the allohexaploid Brassica

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plant architecture is a crucial determinant of crop yield. The number of primary (PB) and secondary branches (SB) is particularly significant in shaping the architecture of Indian mustard.
