Growth Inhibitors in Immature Seeds of Rice Plant

Identification of predominant epiphytic and endophytic bacterial isolates in rice seeds effective for enhancement of seed germination and plant growth

ABSTRACT-During rice growing season, the symptomless rice seeds from different paddy fields in Guilan province, Iran, were collected. After isolation of epiphytic and endophytic bacteria, 39 isolates including 19 epiphytes and 20 endophytes were selected based on the predominant characteristics. Five Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were obtained based on PCR-RFLP of 16S r-DN...

PI(3,5)P2 sows the seeds of plant growth

I n all eukaryotes, formin proteins nu-cleate and elongate actin fi laments using conserved " formin homology " domains called FH1 and FH2. Many fungal and animal formins are regulated by Rho GTPases, but plant formins lack N-terminal Rho-binding domains (1). van Gisbergen et al. reveal that certain formins in the moss Physcomitrella patens are regulated instead by the phospholipid PI(3,5)P 2 (...

Feasibility Study of Rice Growth in Plant Factories

Global food production will need to increase more than 50% before 2050 to satisfy the food demands of an increasing human population. To solve this food crisis, an increase in rice production will be necessary as rice is especially vital for the nutrition of much of the population in many countries. One solution to the future food shortage worldwide would be to cultivate crops in places where p...
