In contrast to previous assumptions, the defense hormones salicylic acid and jasmonic acid do not always suppress each other in regulating plant chemical defenses against pests and pathogens. In trees ...
The hormone jasmonic acid plays an important role in immune and growth of plants. The effect of jasmonic acid is already well understood. But one important element is missing: what causes the amount ...
Plant scientists have discovered that the plant hormone jasmonic acid -- known as a signalling molecule after herbivory -- not only regulates flower development in the bud stage, but also triggers ...
Kombrink, Kaiser and their colleagues have identified a molecule that interferes with the effect of jasmonic acid. This plant hormone influences flower formation, root growth, defence against ...
a. Arabidopsis inflorescence structure. Wild type and JA-related mutant are shown. b. Arabidopsis petal bases. JA reporter expression in wild type and JA-related mutant is shown. c. Arabidopsis petal ...
Plants modify harmful substances through an inducible detoxification system. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), chemical induction of the cytochrome P450 gene CYP81D11 and other genes linked to ...
Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) rice has been widely used for hybrid rice seed production in China. However, CMS rice suffers from undesirable flowering habits including scattered floret opening time ...
Further research indicated that the RSV CP not only induces an upregulation of RBRL expression but also activates the ubiquitin ligase activity of RBRL. This, in turn, promotes the ubiquitination and ...
Jasmonic acid is a fatty acid that plants biosynthesize from linolenic acid. It and its metabolites are hormones that regulate plant growth, development, and stress responses. Some plant pathogens, ...
