Cooperative condensation of RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 16 splicing isoforms enhances heat tolerance in Arabidopsis

Nature Communications
Dissecting the mechanisms underlying heat tolerance is important for understanding how plants acclimate to heat stress. Here, we identify a heat-responsive gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION 16 (RDM16), which encodes a pre-mRNA ...

Investigation of differences between wheat and barley forms of Wheat dwarf virus and their distribution in host plants

Plant Protection Science, 2002
Wheat dwarf virus, a monogemini virus, infects several cereal species. Until now complete sequence data have been published only for wheat isolates. We cloned the complete DNA of 21 isolates from wheat, barley and Lolium spec.

The integrated concept of disease resistance; a new view including horizontal and vertical resistance in plants

, 1977
Horizontal, uniform, race-non-specific or stable resistance can be discerned according to Van der Plank, from vertical, differential, race-specific or unstable resistance by a test in which a number of host genotypes (cultivars or clones) are tested ...

Integrated physiological and transcriptomic analyses reveal the mechanism of reduction in wheat fertile floret number under spring low-temperature stress

Crop Journal
With the intensification of climate change, spring low-temperature stress (SLTS) leads to floret degeneration and a decrease in grain number. This study investigated the physiological mechanisms underlying SLTS-induced floret degeneration using two wheat

Breeding plants for resistance to aphid infestation

, 1977
This chapter discusses the breeding of plants for resistance to aphid infestation. Aphids damage crops both directly by their feeding and by spreading viruses, and the relative importance of each has often been a source of friendly disagreement between ...

The complex transcriptional regulation of heat stress response in maize

Stress Biology
As one of the most important food and feed crops worldwide, maize suffers much more tremendous damages under heat stress compared to other plants, which seriously inhibits plant growth and reduces productivity.
