- Abstract:
- ... The dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors play important roles in regulation of plant responses to abiotic stresses, however, few DREBs have been isolated from a desiccation tolerance moss, and the role of DREBs in the DT mechanism is still unknown. We have functionally characterized a unique DREB transcription factor BaDBL1 from the DT moss Bryum argenteum. Expressio ...

- Abstract:
- ... Desiccation tolerance is an ancient and complex trait that spans all major lineages of life on earth. Although important in the evolution of land plants, the mechanisms that underlay this complex trait are poorly understood, especially for vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT). The lack of suitable closely related plant models that offer a direct contrast between desiccation tolerance and sensiti ...

The class Bryopsida represents the most diversified lineage, containing more than 95% of modern mosses, whereas other classes are species‐poor. Two branches with large numbers of gene duplications were elucidated by phylogenomic analyses, one in the ancestry of all mosses and anot ...

- Abstract:

Using Syntrichia caninervis, a dryland moss and model system used in DT studies, we hypothesized that DT is lowest in juvenile (protonemal) tissues, highest in asexual reproductive propagules (gemmae), and intermediate in adults (shoots). We tested the lo ...

The moss Physcomitrella patens has been used as a model organism to study the induction of desiccation tolerance (DT), but links between dehydration rate, the accumulation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and DT remain unclear. In this study, we show that prolonged acclimation of P. patens at 89% relative humidity (RH) [−16 MPa] can induce tolerance of desiccation at 33% RH (−153 MPa) in both pro ...

- Abstract:
- ... Drought is a serious problem that causes losses in crop-yield every year, but the mechanisms underlying how roots respond to water deficit are difficult to study under controlled conditions. Methods for assaying root elongation and architecture, especially for seedlings, are commonly achieved on artificial media, such as agar, moistened filter paper, or in hydroponic systems. However, it has been ...

We previously reported that Physcomitrella patens survives equilibrium dehydration to −13 MPa in a closed system at 91% RH. Tolerance of desiccation to water potentials below −100 MPa was only achieved by pretreatment with exogenous abscisic acid (ABA). We report here th ...

The fact that in a very short period of 35 years the global population will reach an estimated 9 billion people presents a massive challenge to agriculture: how do we feed all of these people with nutritious food in a sustainable way? At the present time the yields of most of our major crops are stagnating but the demand for food, both grain and animal protein, is growing. To meet the challenge of ...
