Plant sphingolipids are not only structural components of the plasma membrane and other endomembrane systems but also act as signaling molecules during biotic and abiotic stresses.However,the roles of sphingolipids in...
Phenotyping has become the rate-limiting step in using large-scale genomic data to understand and improve agricultural crops. Here, the Bellwether Phenotyping Platform for controlled-environment plant growth and autom...
Redox Responsive Transcription Factor1 (RRTF1) in Arabidopsis is rapidly and transiently upregulated by H202, as well as biotic- and abiotic-induced redox signals. RRTF1 is highly conserved in angio- sperms, but its...
Reversible histone acetylation and deacetylation at the N-terminus of histone tails play crucial roles in regulation of eukaryotic gene activity. Acetylation of core histones usually induces an 'open' chromatin stru...
Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatases (5PTases) components of membrane trafficking system. Recently, we that hydrolyze the 5' position of the inositol ring are key reported that mutation in AtSPTase7 gene reduced pro...
Biotic and abiotic stresses impose a serious limitation on crop productivity worldwide. Prior or simultaneous exposure to one type of stress often affects the plant response to other stresses, indicating extensive ove...
Selaginella lepidophylla is one of only a few species of spike mosses (Selaginellaceae) that have evolved des-iccation tolerance (DT) or the ability to 'resurrect' from an air-dried state. In order to understand...
Plants perceive and respond to environmental stresses with complex mechanisms that are often associ- ated with the activation of antioxidant defenses. A genetic screen aimed at isolating oxidative stress-tolerant line...
Application of crab shell chitin or pentamer chitin oligosaccharide to Arabidopsis seedlings increased toler- ance to salinity in wild-type but not in knockout mutants of the LysM Receptor-Like Kinasel (CERK1/LysM R...
The presence of genes encoding organellar proteins in different cellular compartments necessitates a tight coordination of expression by the different genomes of the eukaryotic cell. This coordination of gene expressi...
