DELAY OF GERMINATION1 requires PP2C phosphatases of the ABA signalling pathway to control seed dormancy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
The DOG1 protein is a major regulator of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis. Here, Née et al. provide evidence that DOG1 can interact with the type 2C protein phosphatases AHG1 and AHG3 and that this represents the convergence point of the DOG1-regulated ...

Recognition of Pep-13/25 MAMPs of Phytophthora localizes to an RLK locus in Solanum microdontum

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in plants is mediated by cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) upon perception of microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMPs). MAMPs are conserved molecules across microbe species, or even kingdoms,

Biotechnology and Plant Breeding [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 1993
ABSTRACTPlant breeding is an integrative discipline that is defined by the product, i. e., a crop cultivar. Principles of breeding provide the framework, while technologies (including biotechnology) provide the tools for implementation. The successful execution of plant breeding depends on: availability of genetically variable populations, effective ...

A tandem CBM25 domain of α-amylase from Microbacterium aurum as potential tool for targeting proteins to starch granules during starch biosynthesis

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2017
Background Starch-binding domains from carbohydrate binding module family 20 have been used as a tool for starch engineering. Previous studies showed that expression of starch binding domain fusion proteins in planta resulted in modified starch granule ...
