Approaches to study light effects on brassinosteroid sensitivity
(Springer, 2017-01-26)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyLight perception and hormone signaling in plants are likely connected at multiple points. Light conditions, perceived by photoreceptors, control plant responses by altering hormone concentration, tissue sensitivity, or a ... -
Basic pentacysteine proteins mediate MADS domain complex binding to the DNA for tissue-specific expression of target genes in Arabidopsis
(Wiley (Blackwell Publishing), 2012)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BPC) transcription factors have been identified in a large variety of plant species. In Arabidopsis thaliana there are seven BPC genes, which, except for BPC5, are expressed ubiquitously. BPC genes are ... -
BPC transcription factors and a Polycomb Group protein confine the expression of the ovule identity gene SEEDSTICK in Arabidopsis
(Wiley (Blackwell Publishing), 2020-01-06)
Article
Open AccessThe BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BPC) GAGA (C-box) binding proteins belong to a small plant transcription factor family. We previously reported that BPCs of class I bind directly to C-boxes in the SEEDSTICK (STK) promoter and ... -
Breeding long shelf-life (LSL) tomato landraces to non-trellised culture and water deficit irrigation: the effect on yield and postharvest storage
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-09-26)
Article
Open AccessNon-trellised culture of tomato is gaining interest among farmers cultivating long shelf-life (LSL) landraces because of the reduction in production costs. This cropping system can benefit from the selection of determinate ... -
Communicating across generations: The Bsister language
(2014)
Article
Open AccessBsister proteins form a clade of MADS-box transcription factors that originated 300 million years ago, after ferns diverged but before Angiosperms and Gymnosperms lineages did. Thus, Bsister proteins have been found in ... -
Current perspectives on the hormonal control of seed development in Arabidopsis and maize: a focus on auxin.
(2014)
Article
Open AccessThe seed represents the unit of reproduction of flowering plants, capable of developing into another plant, and to ensure the survival of the species under unfavorable environmental conditions. It is composed of three ... -
DRACULA2 is a dynamic nucleoporin with a role in regulating the shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis
(2016)
Article
Open AccessWhen plants grow in close proximity basic resources such as light can become limiting. Under such conditions plants respond to anticipate and/or adapt to the light shortage, a process known as the shade avoidance syndrome ... -
Early cold stress responses in post-meiotic anthers from tolerant and sensitive rice cultivars
(2019-12-01)
Article
Open AccessRice grain production is susceptible to a changing environment that imposes both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Cold episodes are becoming more frequent in the last years and directly affect rice yield in areas with ... -
Effects of nitrous oxide (N2O) treatment on the postharvest ripening of banana fruit
(2005)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe effect of nitrous oxide (N2O) alone or in combination with reduced oxygen (O2) levels on the postharvest ripening of mature green banana fruit was investigated. Banana fruit stored at 20 °C were exposed, in a flow-through ... -
Light signaling: back to space
(2008)
Article
Open AccessRecent work has increased our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the phytochrome family of photoreceptors in controlling plant photomorphogenesis. However, the importance of long-distance communication ... -
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
Article
Open AccessWhen growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of red to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the preferential absorbance ... -
MADS-box and bHLH transcription factors coordinate transmitting tract development in arabidopsis thaliana
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe MADS-domain transcription factor SEEDSTICK (STK) controls several aspects of plant reproduction. STK is co-expressed with CESTA (CES), a basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor-encoding gene. CES was reported ... -
Maternal control of PIN1 is required for female gametophyte development in Arabidopsis
(Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2013)
Article
Open AccessLand plants are characterised by haplo-diploid life cycles, and developing ovules are the organs in which the haploid anddiploid generations coexist. Recently it has been shown that hormones such as auxin ... -
Millora de varietats tradicionals de tomàquet
(2021-06-01)
Research report
Open AccessLes varietats tradicionals de tomàquet constitueixen un recurs important per les explotacions hortícoles ecològiques, tant per la seva adaptació a condicions d’una agricultura de baixa intensitat, com per les seves ... -
Molecular regulation of plant responses to shade
(Springer, 2022-09-21)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn sun-loving plants, detection of the proximity of nearby competitors triggers a set of responses known as the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). These responses will help the plant to acclimate to the proximity of vegetation ... -
Ovule development, a new model for lateral organ formation
(2014)
Article
Open AccessIn spermatophytes the ovules upon fertilization give rise to the seeds. It is essential to understand the mechanisms that control ovule number and development as they ultimately determine the final number of seeds and, ... -
PAR1 and PAR2 integrate shade and hormone transcriptional networks
(2008)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPHYTOCHROME RAPIDLY REGULATED1 (PAR1) and PAR2 are two negative regulators of shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) responses in Arabidopsis. PAR1 and PAR2 belong to the bHLH family of transcription factors and act as direct ... -
Phenotypic diversity and distinctiveness of the Belltall garlic landrace
(2023-01-04)
Article
Open AccessAmong the Mediterranean horticultural landraces, garlic is one of the crops most threatened by genetic erosion. Due to its sexual sterility and to the incidence of seed-borne diseases, historical varieties have been widely ... -
Photoreceptor activity contributes to contrasting responses to shade in cardamine and arabidopsis seedlings
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2019-09-17)
Article
Open AccessPlants have evolved two major ways to deal with nearby vegetation or shade: avoidance and tolerance. Moreover, someplants respond to shade in different ways; for example, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) undergoes an ... -
Plant responses to vegetation proximity: a whole life avoiding shade
