Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) is a promising oil-seed crop for biodiesel production. However, the species is highly sensitive to waterlogging, which can result in stunted growth and yield loss. To date, the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses to waterlogging in Jatropha remain elusive. Here,
Enhancing crop tolerance to waterlogging is critical for improving food and biofuel security. In waterlogged soils, roots are exposed to a low oxygen environment. The group VII ethylene response factors (ERFVIIs) were recently identified as key regulators of plant low oxygen response.
The control points of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway in germinating castor bean (Ricinus communis) endosperms are sought in two ways: (a) by measuring the amounts of various glycolytic intermediates at intervals during the germination; (b) by determining the crossover points appearing during
Endosperms from castor beans (Ricinus communis) germinated for 0 to 6 days were exposed to anoxia for 0 to 15 hours. Ethanol, the only alcohol detected by gas chromatography in the tissue, accumulates to a concentration of 15 millimolar during the first 2 to 4 hours of anoxia and subsequently
The aim of this work was to examine the possibility that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) plays a role in the regulation of gluconeogenesis from fat. Fru-2,6-P(2) is known to inhibit cytoplasmic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and stimulate pyrophosphate:fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase
Pathogen infection triggers extensive reprogramming of the plant transcriptome, including numerous genes the function of which is unknown. Due to their wide taxonomic distribution, genes encoding proteins with Domains of Unknown Function (DUFs) activated upon pathogen challenge likely play important
