Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin, a tryptophan-derived signal conserved in plants and animals, regulates root system architecture probably acting as a natural auxin inhibitor in Arabidopsis thaliana
Ramón Pelagio-Flores,Randy Ortiz-Castro,Alfonso Méndez-Bravo,Lourdes Macías-Rodríguez,José López-Bucio +4 more
TL;DR: Results show that serotonin regulates root development probably by acting as a natural auxin inhibitor, indicating an anti-auxin activity in the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved, low-cost, hydroponic system for growing Arabidopsis and other plant species under aseptic conditions
Fulgencio Alatorre-Cobos,Carlos L. Calderón-Vázquez,Enrique Ibarra-Laclette,Lenin Yong-Villalobos,Claudia Anahí Pérez-Torres,Araceli Oropeza-Aburto,Alfonso Méndez-Bravo,Sandra-Isabel González-Morales,Dolores Gutiérrez-Alanís,Alejandra Chacón-López,Betsy-Anaid Peña-Ocaña,Luis Herrera-Estrella +11 more
TL;DR: Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of gene expression of Arabidopsis roots depleted of Pi by short time periods indicates that genes related to general stress are up-regulated before those specific to Pi signaling and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide is involved in alkamide-induced lateral root development in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: It is shown that NO is an intermediate in alkamide signaling mediating RSA adjustment in Arabidopsis and its interacting signals jasmonic acid and NO act downstream or independently of auxin-responsive gene expression to promote LRP formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria associated with avocado display antagonistic activity against Phytophthora cinnamomi through volatile emissions
Alfonso Méndez-Bravo,Elvis Marian Cortazar-Murillo,Edgar Guevara-Avendaño,Oscar Ceballos-Luna,Benjamín Rodríguez-Haas,Ana L. Kiel-Martínez,Orlando Hernández-Cristóbal,José A. Guerrero-Analco,Frédérique Reverchon +8 more
TL;DR: Evaluated rhizobacterial isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of healthy avocado trees and from that of avocado trees having survived root rot infestations suggest that these bacteria could be used for biocontrol of soil borne oomycetes through their volatiles emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkamides Activate Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis and Signaling Pathways and Confer Resistance to Botrytis cinerea in Arabidopsis thaliana
Alfonso Méndez-Bravo,Alfonso Méndez-Bravo,Carlos L. Calderón-Vázquez,Enrique Ibarra-Laclette,Javier Raya-González,Enrique Ramírez-Chávez,Jorge Molina-Torres,Ángel Arturo Guevara-García,José López-Bucio,Luis Herrera-Estrella +9 more
TL;DR: Global analysis of gene expression changes in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to N-isobutyl decanamide revealed an overrepresentation of defense-responsive transcriptional networks, suggesting a role of alkamides in plant immunity induction.
