Abstract:
... The transcript levels of the phytoglobin (Pgb) genes Pgb1 and Pgb3, and the protein content of Pgb1 were responsive to anaerobiosis in several tissues of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Oxygen deficiency induced the level of both Pgb transcripts and protein in aleurone layers and coleoptiles, as well as up-regulated both Pgb1 and Pgb3 in leaves, apexes and more strongly in roots of barley seedlings. ...

Abstract:
... Soil salinity inhibits seed germination and reduces seedling survival rate, resulting in significant yield reductions in crops. Here, we report the identification of a polyamine oxidase, OsPAO3, conferring salt tolerance at the germination stage in rice (Oryza sativa L.), through map-based cloning approach. OsPAO3 is up-regulated under salt stress at the germination stage and highly expressed in v ...
... In agriculture, Trehalase is considered the main target of the biological fungicide validamycin A, and the toxicology mechanism of validamycin A is unknown. 14-3-3 proteins, highly conserved proteins, participate in diverse cellular processes, including enzyme activation, protein localization, and acting as a molecular chaperone. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the 14-3-3 protein Bmh1could interact w ...

Abstract:
... For seven days of wheat growth, caryopsis remained the main source of 5-n-alkylresorcinols with C19 and/or C21 homolog as a main compound. Shoot contained small amount of these phenolic lipids; their average content was 3.23% of level obtained in the whole seedling. Moreover, 41.38% of resorcinolic lipids of seven-day-old shoot was accumulated in part of leaf covered by coleoptile. Interestingly, ...

Abstract:
... In this study, 16 strains belonging to genera Bacillus and Pseudomonas were tested in vitro and in greenhouse on “Waha” wheat variety against two isolates of Fusarium culmorum and one isolate of Fusarium chlamydosporum. The results of the direct confrontation showed that the most effective bacterial strains were Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BB19 (BB19) and Bacillus atrophaeus B16 (B16), which inhibi ...

Abstract:
... The phenomenon of allelopathy has been known for more than 2000 years. This phenomenon consists of the chemical interference of plant species (or other organisms), by enhancing, or inhibiting, the germination, seedling growth, or development of other plant species (or other organisms). This paper aimed to investigate the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extract of different parts of Matricari ...
... The wheat Green Revolution Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing alleles are associated with increased grain yields but also with reduced early growth and seedling emergence, especially if sowing conditions are unfavourable. The gibberellic acid-responsive, mutagen-derived Rht18 dwarfing gene was backcrossed from durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum L.) cv. Icaro into tall bread wheat (Triticum aest ...
coleoptiles, etc ; alleles; durum wheat; ethyl methanesulfonate; germination; gibberellic acid; mutagenesis; plant height; soil; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Increasing the yield of wheat (Triticum spp.) requires identifying new allelic combinations by crossing or by creating useful variation in yield limiting genes. Wheat yield is impacted by many factors, including tiller number and seeds per tiller, both of which are impacted by the Reduced height (Rht) gene. Durum wheat [T. turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) van Slageren] varieties are either standar ...
coleoptiles, etc ; Fusarium cerealis; crown rot; cultivars; germination; greenhouses; growth chambers; virulence; wheat; Algeria; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... In this study, FCR-symptomatic samples from the north-east of Algeria were collected. Macroscopic data and microscopic characteristics were used to identify the 23 isolates, which were then confirmed by molecular identification. NCBI GenBank assigned the accession number MW358286 to isolate FC14, which was identified as Fusarium cerealis. Under controlled conditions, two pathogenicity tests were p ...
... Seed size, sowing depth, and seed disinfection can affect seed germination and seedling establishment, which, in turn, can directly affect crop growth and yield. The current study was comprised of two experiments, the first of which was conducted in the laboratory, and a second which was performed under glasshouse conditions. The objective of these experiments was to investigate the effects of see ...
... Plant-based phytotoxins play an important role in plant-plant interaction and are of great promise for the development of bioherbicide. In this study, screening of essential oils from six different Curcuma rhizomes identified black turmeric (Curcuma caesia Roxb.) oil as an efficient growth inhibitor in wheatgrass coleoptile bioassay (IC₅₀ 57.1 µg/mL). The phytotoxic efficacy of this oil was furthe ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The leaf epidermis functions to prevent the loss of water and reduce gas exchange. As an interface between the plant and its external environment, it helps prevent damage, making it an attractive system for studying cell fate and development. In monocotyledons, the leaf epidermis grows from the basal meristem that contains protodermal cells. Leaf protoderm zone is covered by the leaf s ...

Abstract:
... Mixed‐linkage glucan, which is widely distributed in grasses, is a polysaccharide highly abundant in cell walls of grass endosperm and young vegetative tissues. Lichenases are enzymes that hydrolyze mixed‐linkage glucan first identified in mixed‐linkage glucan‐rich lichens. In this study, we identify a gene encoding a lichenase we name Brachypodium distachyon LICHENASE 1 (BdLCH1), which is highly ...
... Cereal crops can differ greatly in tolerance to oxygen shortage under germination and seedling establishment. Rice is able to germinate and elongate the coleoptile under submergence and anoxia. This capacity has been attributed to the successful use of starchy reserves through a molecular pathway activated by sugar starvation and low oxygen. This pathway culminates with the expression of α-amylase ...
... The herbicide pyroxasulfone was widely introduced in 2012, and cases of evolved resistance in weeds such as annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud.) and tall waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer] have started to emerge. Pyroxasulfone is detoxified by tolerant crops, and by annual ryegrass that has been recurrently selected with pyroxasulfone, in a pathway that is hypothesized to involve g ...
coleoptiles, etc ; etiolation; phytotoxicity; sesquiterpenoid lactones; wheat; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... C₁₇-sesquiterpenoids are a group of natural products that have been recently discovered. These compounds have the peculiarity of lacking the α,β-methylene butyrolactone system, which is known to be quite relevant for many of the biological activities reported for sesquiterpene lactones. Unfortunately, the biological interest of C₁₇-sesquiterpenoids has not been studied in-depth, mainly due to the ...

Abstract:
... Hungary is northernmost temperate rice growing country in Europe. One of the main limiting factors is low temperature, especially at germination and seedling developmental stages. In early developmental stages, low temperature can impair and delay germination, as well as have negative impacts on seedling growth, causing poor stand establishment and non-uniform crop maturation [1]. Temperatures low ...

Abstract:
... Rice coleoptile elongation under submergence guarantees fast seedling establishment in the field. We investigated the role of auxin in influencing the capacity of rice to produce a long coleoptile under water. In order to explore the complexity of auxin's role in coleoptile elongation, we used gene expression analysis, confocal microscopy of an auxin‐responsive fluorescent reporter, gas chromatogr ...

Abstract:
... Improvements in plant architecture, such as reduced plant height under high-density planting, are important for agricultural production. Light and gibberellin (GA) are essential external and internal cues that affect plant architecture. In this study, we characterize the direct interaction of distinct receptors that link light and GA signaling in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and wheat (Triti ...
... Recent studies indicate that thiamethoxam (TMX), a neonicotinoid insecticide, can affect plant responses to environmental stressors, such as neighboring weeds. The molecular mechanisms behind both stable and environmentally specific responses to TMX likely involve genes related to defense and stress responses. We investigated the effect of a TMX seed treatment on global gene expression in maize co ...
