gibberellin ga 15/hypersensitivity

Gibberellin-regulated proteins (GRPs)/GASA proteins are members of cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide families and are conserved in a broad range of plants. Some GRPs in fruits and pollens have been identified as allergens including peach Pru p 7, Japanese apricot Pru m 7, orange Cit s 7,

BACKGROUND To date, three orange allergens have been reported. However, it is still unclear whether gibberellin-regulated proteins (GRPs), identified as new allergens in other fruit allergies, are also involved in orange allergy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the allergenicity of orange GRP and to

Introduction: Allergies affect 20-30% of the population and respiratory allergies are mostly due to pollen grains from anemophilous plants. One to 5% of people suffer from food allergies and clinicians report increasing numbers of

As energy sources and structural components, sugars are the central regulators of plant growth and development. In addition to the abundant natural sugars in plants, more than 50 different kinds of rare sugars exist in nature, several of which show distinct roles in plant growth and development.

Background and objective: Peach gibberellin-regulated protein (peamaclein) has recently emerged as a relevant food allergen in cypress pollen-hypersensitive patients. Objective: We looked for mono-sensitization to peamaclein among Italian

The presence in cypress pollen of an important allergen, belonging to the gibberellin-regulated protein (GRP) family, has been suggested for many years. However, it has never been isolated and sometimes the homologous peach allergen, Pru p 7, has been used as a surrogate to perform immunological

Background: Severe allergy to fruits mediated by a 7 kDa allergen belonging to the gibberellin-regulated protein (GRP) family is known to be associated with Cupressaceae pollinosis. Objective: To identify and characterize

Glucose and phytohormones such as abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, and gibberellin (GA) coordinately regulate germination and seedling development. However, there is still inadequate evidence to link their molecular roles in affecting plant responses. Calcium acts as a second messenger in a diverse

Gibberellin-regulated protein (GRP, also known as peamaclein) was recently identified as a new marker allergen related to systemic reactions in peach allergy; however, its role in other fruit allergies is unknown. To investigate the allergenicity of Japanese apricot (JA) GRP and clarify the clinical

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are naturally occurring soil microorganisms that colonize roots and stimulate plant growth. Some PGPR strains can directly regulate plant growth in the absence of physical contact with the plant, via volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions. Recently,

Contrasting with the wealth of information available on the multiple roles of jasmonates in plant development and defense, knowledge about the functions and the biosynthesis of hydroxylated oxylipins remains scarce. By expressing the caleosin RESPONSIVE TO DESSICATION20 (RD20) in Saccharomyces

Previous work showed that PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR3-LIKE5 (PIL5), a light-labile basic helix-loop-helix protein, inhibits seed germination by repressing GIBBERELLIN 3beta-HYDROXYLASE1 (GA3ox1) and GA3ox2 and activating a gibberellic acid (GA) catabolic gene (GA2ox2). However, we show

The ECTOPICALLY PARTING CELLS 1 (EPC1) gene encodes a putative retaining glycosyltransferase of the GT64 family, and epc1-1 mutant plants have a severely dwarfed phenotype. A new mutant allele of this gene, epc1-2, has been isolated. Reduced cell adhesion that has previously been reported for the

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many aspects of plant growth and development, yet many ABA response mutants present only subtle phenotypic defects, especially in the absence of stress. By contrast, the ABA-insensitive8 (abi8) mutant, isolated on the basis of ABA-resistant germination, also displays

In this issue we described a dwarf mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana, sax1, which is affected in brassinosteroid biosynthesis. This primary defect is responsible for alterations in hormone sensitivity of sax1 plants characterized by the hypersensitivity of root elongation to abscisic acid and auxin and
