Subject:
abscisic acid; hydrogen peroxide; peanuts; polyethylene glycol; sodium; water stress
Abstract:
... Peanut plants exposed to water stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) accumulated abscisic acid (ABA) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), the increase being significant at 12 and 24 h after addition, respectively. To address the question whether the increase in H₂O₂ production was related to ABA accumulation, the peanut leaves were pretreated with ABA biosynthesis inhibitor (sodium tungstate) and t ...

Subject:
Arabidopsis; actin; green fluorescent protein; microfilaments; pollen; pollen tubes
Abstract:
... The pollen tube grows rapidly, exclusively at its tip, to deliver its sperm for fertilization. The polarized tip growth of pollen tubes is dependent on the highly dynamic actin cytoskeleton. Plant LIM proteins (named after initials of containing proteins Lin11, Isl-1, and Mec-3) have been shown to regulate actin bundling in different cells, however, their roles in pollen tube growth have remained ...
