Genotype By Environment Interaction in Shoot Branching [PDF]
Plant development is highly plastic, allowing plants to adapt to constant changes in environmental conditions. An excellent example of developmental plasticity is shoot branching.

Gibberellins and Gravitropism in Maize Shoots [PDF]
[3H]Gibberellin A20 (GA20) of high specific radioactivity (49.9 gigabecquerel per millimole) was applied equilaterally in a ring of microdrops to the internodal pulvinus of shoots of 3-week-old gravistimulated and vertical normal maize (Zea mays L.), and to a pleiogravitropic (prostrate) maize mutant, lazy (la).

Overexpression of the protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit a gene ZmPP2AA1 improves low phosphate tolerance by remodeling the root system architecture of maize. [PDF]
Phosphate (Pi) limitation is a constraint for plant growth and development in many natural and agricultural ecosystems. In this study, a gene encoding Zea mays L.

Signals and PerCEPtion: diverse roles for C-terminally encoded peptides in symbiosis, root system gravitropism, and pathogen response in Medicago truncatula and Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Plant peptide hormones form part of complex signalling pathways, allowing plants to respond and adapt to biotic and abiotic stresses. This thesis discovers new roles of the C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDE (CEP) family and its receptor in the control of ...

The inhibitory effect of ammonium on primary root growth has been well documented; however the underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms are still controversial. To avoid ammonium toxicity to shoot growth, we used a vertical two-layer split plate

Proprioception controls trunk straightness in trees through opposite tension wood formation. A spherical growth chamber (a), combined with a two‐dimensional rotating clinostat (b2), suppresses gravi‐ and phototropic sensing. The tree is first tilted horizontally (b1), triggering upward gravitropic bending, actuated by tension wood formation on the ...

Regulation of tiller angle by gravity-sensing genes in rice
Endodermal cells and starch-accumulating amyloplasts are well-known gravity sensors initiating shoot gravitropism in Arabidopsis thaliana. The transcription factors SHR and SGR1 regulate endodermal cell formation, while PGM has been demonstrated to ...

The intracellular phospholipase A1 protein family
Phospholipase A1 is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids, producing 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids. The intracellular phospholipase A1 (iPLA1) protein family is a relatively recently discovered lipid-metabolizing enzyme family.

Evidence for a Relationship between H+ Excretion and Auxin in Shoot Gravitropism [PDF]
The role of auxin and protons in the gravitropic response of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Sungold) hypocotyl has been investigated. No physiological asymmetry in acid-growth capacity could be detected between the upper and lower surfaces of gravistimulated hypocotyls.
