Auxin Regulates Sucrose Transport to Repress Petal Abscission in Rose (Rosa hybrida)

The Biology and Ecology of Rosa x hybrida (Rose)

The Rose (Rosa hybrida) NAC Transcription Factor 3 Gene, RhNAC3, Involved in ABA Signaling Pathway Both in Rose and Arabidopsis

Plant transcription factors involved in stress responses are generally classified by their involvement in either the abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent or the ABA-independent regulatory pathways. A stress-associated NAC gene from rose (Rosa hybrida), RhNAC3, was previously found to increase dehydration tolerance in both rose and Arabidopsis. However, the regulatory mechanism involved in RhNAC3 actio...

Abscission responses to moisture stress, auxin transport inhibitors, and ethephon.

The three abscission-inducing agents - water stress, Ethephon, and auxin transport inhibitors-acted synergistically to promote leaf fall in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). However, the synergism was primarily between stress and Ethephon. Auxin transport inhibitors did not promote the effect of stress alone, only promoted the effect of Ethephon in well watered plants and gave a very small promot...

Sucrose is an early modulator of the key hormonal mechanisms controlling bud outgrowth in Rosa hybrida

Sugar has only recently been identified as a key player in triggering bud outgrowth, while hormonal control of bud outgrowth is already well established. To get a better understanding of sugar control, the present study investigated how sugar availability modulates the hormonal network during bud outgrowth in Rosa hybrida. Other plant models, for which mutants are available, were used when nece...

A coupled model of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration for a rose leaf (Rosa hybrida L.).

The following three models were combined to predict simultaneously photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and leaf temperature of a rose leaf: the biochemical model of photosynthesis of Farquhar, von Caemmerer and Berry (1980, Planta 149: 78-90), the stomatal conductance model of Ball, Woodrow and Berry (In: Biggens J, ed. Progress in photosynthesis research. The Netherlands: Marti...
