Evolution of root plasticity responses to variation in soil nutrient distribution and concentration

Evolutionary Applications, 2012
Root plasticity, a trait that can respond to selective pressure, may help plants forage for nutrients in heterogeneous soils. Agricultural breeding programs have artificially selected for increased yield under comparatively homogeneous soil conditions ...

Selection of quality Australian barley for the Japanese staple food market [PDF]

, 2001
Approximately 150,000 tonnes of Australian malting quality barley valued at approximately $30,000,000 is exported annually for the Japanese staple market. However, barley selected for malting quality may not always meet Japanese requirements.

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

ATXR5 and ATXR6 restrict meiotic crossover formation within heterochromatin in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Arabidopsis H3K27 mono‐methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 repress crossovers within meiotic heterochromatin, are required for heterochromatin condensation and H3K27me1 establishment, and specifically influence the maintenance of DNA methylation in meiocytes.

Drought and Diversification‐Mediated Soil Legacies Influence Plant Growth and Rhizosheath Formation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
While drought legacy effects are widely reported, how distinct soil biological legacies created by diversification of crops through rotation influence plant performance remains largely untested.

TaHDA1‐mediated histone and non‐histone deacetylation orchestrates drought tolerance in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The histone deacetylase TaHDA1 is a key regulator linking histone and non‐histone deacetylation with drought adaptation and a potential target for improving drought resilience and grain nutritional quality in wheat. ABSTRACT Drought stress severely constrains wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and productivity.

Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation. [PDF]

, 2008
More than ten years have passed since the first successful Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation experiment, however it is still quite challenging to establish a stably functioning agroinfiltration protocol.

Black point of barley: Is grain quality affected?

, 2005
There are two components of quality in malting barley: the first is grain quality and the second is malt quality. To ensure that malt of the highest quality is produced during the time-limited malting process, the barley must be able to germinate ...

Molecular and cellular studies of early endosperm development in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) [PDF]

, 1997
Barley grain is an important commercial crop, being used mainly as an animal feed and in the production of malt for the brewing and distilling industries. The protein and carbohydrate composition of the endosperm (the major storage tissue) determines the
