... Heat stress (HS) caused by above-optimal temperatures adversely affects plants’ growth and development and diminishes crop yields. In natural and agricultural environments, these stresses are often transient but recurrent and may progressively increase in severity over time. In addition to the inherent ability to cope with a single HS event, plants have evolved mechanisms that enhance their capaci ...

Abstract:
... Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK) subfamily VII members are involved in diverse biological processes, like reproduction, immunity, growth and development. Ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of a RLCK VII member, BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 (BIK1) play important roles in regulating immune signaling. It remains largely unknown whether most other RLCK VII members undergo ubiquitination and ...

Abstract:
... BRASSINOSTEROIDS (BRs) play important roles in regulating plant growth and development. The Arabidopsis GSK3-like kinase BIN2, a major negative regulator of BR signaling, plays diverse roles in plant growth and developmental processes. In a previous study, based on the relationship between BIN2 and its substrate, we reported the possibility that BIN2 protein stability is controlled by BRASSINOSTER ...

Abstract:
... (1) Background: Water transport systems play an important role in maintaining plant growth and development. The plasticity responses of the xylem anatomical traits of different species to the environment are different. Studies have shown that there are annual growth rings in the secondary root xylem of perennial herbaceous species. Studies on xylem anatomical traits, however, have mainly focused o ...

Abstract:
... Metalloids represent a wide range of elements with intermediate physiochemical properties between metals and non‐metals. Many of the metalloids, like boron, selenium, and silicon are known to be essential or quasi‐essential for plant growth. In contrast, metalloids viz. arsenic and germanium are toxic to plant growth. The toxicity of metalloids largely depends on their concentration within the liv ...

Abstract:
... Imprinted genes play important regulatory roles in the growth and development of placentas and foetuses during pregnancy. In a previous study, we found that the imprinted gene Neuronatin (NNAT) is involved in foetal development; NNAT expression was significantly lower in the placentas of piglets that died neonatally compared to the placentas of surviving piglets. However, the function and mechanis ...

Abstract:
... Auxin, one of the first identified and most widely studied phytohormones, has been and will remain a hot topic in plant biology. After more than a century of passionate exploration, the mysteries of its synthesis, transport, signaling, and metabolism have largely been unlocked. Due to the rapid development of new technologies, new methods, and new genetic materials, the study of auxin has entered ...

Abstract:
... Auxin-responsive genes AUX/IAA are important during plant growth and development, but there are few relevant reports in peanut. In this study, 44 AhIAA genes were identified from cultivated peanut, of which 31 genes were expressed in seed at varying degrees. AhIAA-3A, AhIAA-16A and AhIAA-15B were up-regulated, while AhIAA-11A, AhIAA-5B and AhIAA-14B were down-regulated with seed development and ma ...

Abstract:
... The endomembrane system is critical for plant growth and development and understanding its function and regulation is of great interest for plant biology research. Small-molecule targeting distinctive endomembrane components have proven powerful tools to dissect membrane trafficking in plant cells. However, unambiguous elucidation of the complex and dynamic trafficking processes requires chemical ...

Abstract:
... Trees and herbs that produce fruits represent the most valuable agricultural food commodities in the world. However, the yield of these crops is not fully achieved due to biotic factors such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Viruses are capable of causing alterations in plant growth and development, thereby impacting the yield of their hosts significantly. In this work, we first compiled the world′ ...

Abstract:
... Heat stress (HS) affects plant growth and development, and reduces crop yield. To combat HS, plants have evolved several sophisticated strategies. The primary HS response in plants involves the activation of heat-shock transcription factors and heat-shock proteins (HSPs). Plants also deploy more advanced epigenetic mechanisms in response to recurring HS conditions. In addition, beneficial microbes ...

... Effective weed control is critical to growth and development of flue‐cured tobacco; however, current herbicide options are limited in commercial production. Field experiments were conducted from 2017 to 2018 to evaluate S‐metolachlor for use in flue‐cured tobacco weed management programs. Treatments included 10 herbicide programs: pretransplanted incorporated (PTI) applications of S‐metolachlor (1 ...

BACKGROUND: The advent of high-throughput epigenome mapping techniques has ushered in a new era of multiomics with powerful tools now available to map and record genomic output at different levels. Integrating the different components of the epigenome from these multiomics measures allows investigations of cis-regulatory elements on a genome-scale. Mapping of chromatin state, chromatin accessibili ...
