Abscisic Acid: Hidden Architect of Root System Structure

Plants, 2015
Plants modulate root growth in response to changes in the local environment, guided by intrinsic developmental genetic programs. The hormone Abscisic Acid (ABA) mediates responses to different environmental factors, such as the presence of nitrate in the

Role of Auxin and Nitrate Signaling in the Development of Root System Architecture

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The plant root is an important storage organ that stores indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) from the apical meristem, as well as nitrogen, which is obtained from the external environment.

From internet architecture research to standards [PDF]

, 2012
Many Internet architectural research initiatives have been undertaken over last twenty years. None of them actually reached their intended goal: the evolution of the Internet architecture is still driven by its protocols not by genuine architectural ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Impact of root cutting on root architecture and water use efficiency of rice seedlings

Guan'gai paishui xuebao
【Objective】An optimal root architecture not only provides anchorage for plants but also enhances the acquisition of water and nutrients, which are unevenly distributed in the soil profile.

Rice residue recirculation enhances mobilization and plant acquisition of soil inorganic phosphorus by increasing silicon availability in a semi-arid Inceptisol

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Massive amounts of rice straw (RS) provide a significant problem for in situ and instant management at a low cost. On the other hand, mobilizing soil phosphorus (P) from inorganically fixed pools may increase its effectiveness over time.

Changes in gene expression in space and time orchestrate environmentally mediated shaping of root architecture [PDF]

, 2017
Shaping of root architecture is a quintessential developmental response that involves the concerted action of many different cell types, is highly dynamic and underpins root plasticity.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Integrating Heterosis for Root Architecture and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Maize: A Comparison between Hybrids from Different Decades

Agronomy
Exploring the biological potential of maize root architecture is one of the most important ways to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The NUE and its heterosis in maize hybrids have improved remarkably over decades.
