Plant hormones can act in synergistic and antagonistic ways in response to biotic and abiotic stresses and in plant growth and development. Thus, a technique is needed to simultaneously determine the distributions and concentrations of several plant hormones. Previously, we reported that
Plant hormones act as important signaling molecules that regulate responses to abiotic stress as well as plant growth and development. Because their concentrations of hormones control the physiological responses in the target tissue, it is important to know the distributions and concentrations in
Internal aeration is crucial for root growth in waterlogged soil. A barrier to radial oxygen loss (ROL) can enhance long-distance oxygen transport via the aerenchyma to the root tip; a higher oxygen concentration at the apex enables root growth into anoxic soil. The ROL barrier is formed within the
Pollen mother cells (PMCs) represent a critical early stage in plant sexual reproduction in which the stage is set for male gamete formation. Understanding the global molecular genetics of this early meiotic stage has so far been limited to whole stamen or floret transcriptome studies, but since
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) induced posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) has been an efficient method for genetic and molecular analysis of certain developmental and physiological processes and represented a potential strategy for both controlling virus replication and developing therapeutic
Although an apoplastic pathway (the so-called bypass flow) is implicated in the uptake of Na(+) by rice growing in saline conditions, the point of entry of this flow into roots remains to be elucidated. We investigated the role of lateral roots in bypass flow using the tracer
It has been suggested that caffeine acts as an allelochemical which influences the germination and growth of plants. The effect of caffeine on the expression profiles of proteins was investigated in shoot-root axes of rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis
The seed proteome of a low phytic acid (lpa) rice line (Os-lpa-XS110-1), developed as a novel food source, was compared to that of its parental line, Xiushui 110 (XS-110). Analysis by surfaced enhanced laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) and two-dimensional
BACKGROUND
Sake is made from fermented rice and has been drunk in Japan for more than 1000 years. The rice must be polished prior to fermentation to obtain high-quality sake. It is traditionally recognized that the quality of sake is improved as the rice polishing ratio (percentage removed in the
CONCLUSIONS
Sixty-three proteins were identified to be differentially accumulated due to iron deficiency in shoot and root. The importance of these proteins alterations on shoot physiology is discussed. Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and its accumulation affects the quality
The formation of a barrier to radial oxygen (O2 ) loss (ROL) in the root is an important adaptation of plants to root flooding, but the biochemical changes in plant roots where the barrier is formed are unclear. In this study, we analysed metabolic profiles and gene expression profiles in roots of
Metal-binding proteins play an important role in maintaining intracellular metal homeostasis and eliminating heavy metal toxification. Many metallothioneins (MTs) have been isolated from mammalian sources, which are a family of low molecular weight metal-binding proteins that are rich in cysteine.
Several important bacterial characteristics, such as biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilisation, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase activity, and production of siderophores and phytohormones, can be assessed as plant growth promotion traits. Our aim was to evaluate the effects
The gene coding for rice chloroplastic L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS; EC 5.5.1.4) has been identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of the purified and immunologically cross-reactive approximately 60 kDa chloroplastic protein following
Potential adverse effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on marine organisms have received increased attention in recent years. In contrast, few data are available on terrestrial plants, especially on the mechanisms for transport of NPs in plants and phytotoxicity (at both phenotypic and molecular levels) of
