Effect of Exogenous Brassinosteroid Application on Grain Yield, some Physiological Traits and Expression of Genes Related to This Hormone Signaling Pathway in Wheat under Drought Stress
To investigate the effect of exogenous brassinosteroid application on grain yield, catalase, chlorophyll content, membrane mtability index and gene expression of some genes involving in brassinosteroid signaling pathway (BES1 and BRI1) under drought stress, a split-split plot on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the experimental field of Seed and Plant Im...
متن کاملThe dominant mutant Wavy auricle in blade1 disrupts patterning in a lateral domain of the maize leaf.
Mature maize leaves have defined cell types along the proximal distal and medial lateral axes. The patterning events that establish these axes take place early in leaf initiation. We have identified a new dominant mutation, Wavy auricle in blade1 (Wab1), which affects patterning in both axes in a dose-dependent manner. Wab1 leaves are narrower than normal leaves and displace proximal tissues di...
متن کاملRNA Interference Knockdown of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 in Maize Reveals Novel Functions for Brassinosteroid Signaling in Controlling Plant Architecture.
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones involved in various growth and developmental processes. The BR signaling system is well established in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) but poorly understood in maize (Zea mays). BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1) is a BR receptor, and database searches and additional genomic sequencing identified five maize homologs including...
متن کاملGenome-wide study of KNOX regulatory network reveals brassinosteroid catabolic genes important for shoot meristem function in rice.
In flowering plants, knotted1-like homeobox (KNOX) transcription factors play crucial roles in establishment and maintenance of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), from which aerial organs such as leaves, stems, and flowers initiate. We report that a rice (Oryza sativa) KNOX gene Oryza sativa homeobox1 (OSH1) represses the brassinosteroid (BR) phytohormone pathway through activation of BR cataboli...
متن کاملDev111955 1..8
Maize leaves have distinct tissues that serve specific purposes. The blade tilts back to photosynthesize and the sheath wraps around the stem to provide structural support and protect young leaves. At the junction between blade and sheath are the ligule and auricles, both of which are absent in the recessive liguleless1 (lg1) mutant. Using an antibody against LG1, we reveal LG1 accumulation at ...
