Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Background: Plants have evolved the dual capacity for maximizing light assimilation through stem growth (phototropism) and maximizing water and nutrient absorption through root growth (gravitropism).

Transcriptome and metabolite analyses provide insights into zigzag-shaped stem formation in tea plants (Camellia sinensis)

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Shoot orientation is important for plant architecture formation, and zigzag-shaped shoots are a special trait found in many plants. Zigzag-shaped shoots have been selected and thoroughly studied in Arabidopsis; however, the regulatory ...

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascade MKK7-MPK6 Plays Important Roles in Plant Development and Regulates Shoot Branching by Phosphorylating PIN1 in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2016
Emerging evidences exhibit that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/MPK) signaling pathways are connected with many aspects of plant development. The complexity of MAPK cascades raises challenges not only to identify the MAPK module in planta but also

Gravi-Sensitivity of Mosses and Their Gravity-Dependent Ontogenetic Adaptations

Life, 2022
Gravi-morphoses affect the variability of plants and are the morphogenetic adaptation to different environmental conditions. Gravity-dependent phenotypic plasticity of gametophytes as well as gravi-sensitivity of moss protonemata in microgravity and ...

Termination of Shoot Gravitropic Responses by Auxin Feedback on PIN3 Polarity [PDF]

Current Biology, 2016
Plants adjust their growth according to gravity. Gravitropism involves gravity perception, signal transduction, and asymmetric growth response, with organ bending as a consequence [1]. Asymmetric growth results from the asymmetric distribution of the plant-specific signaling molecule auxin [2] that is generated by lateral transport, mediated in the ...

Gravitropic Analysis of Tomato Seedlings using Time Lapse Video Imaging

Bio-Protocol, 2015
Plants use gravity as a guide for growth and development. Gravitropism, a gravity-directed growth process, directs upward shoot movement for efficient photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. In addition, it also directs downward growth of roots in soil, for

Brassinosteroid-regulated plant growth and development and gene expression in soybean

Crop Journal, 2019
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are endogenous phytohormones that play important roles in regulating plant growth and development. In this study, we evaluated the effects of brassinolide (BL, one of the active BRs) on soybean and identified roles of the hormone ...

Polymorphisms and gene expression in the almond IGT family are not correlated to variability in growth habit in major commercial almond cultivars.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Almond breeding programs aimed at selecting cultivars adapted to intensive orchards have recently focused on the optimization of tree architecture. This multifactorial trait is defined by numerous components controlled by processes such as hormonal ...

Involvement of the Vacuoles of the Endodermis in the Early Process of Shoot Gravitropism in Arabidopsis [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2002
The endodermal cells of the shoot are thought to be the gravity-sensing cells in Arabidopsis. The amyloplasts in the endodermis that sediment in the direction of gravity may act as statoliths. Endodermis-specific expression of SGR2 and ZIG using the SCR promoter could complement the abnormal shoot gravitropism of the sgr2 and zig mutants, respectively.
