Journal ArticleDOI
The endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica reprograms barley to salt-stress tolerance, disease resistance, and higher yield
Frank Waller,Beate Achatz,Beate Achatz,Helmut Baltruschat,József Fodor,Katja Becker,Marina Fischer,Tobias Heier,Ralph Hückelhoven,Christina Neumann,Diter von Wettstein,Philipp Franken,Karl-Heinz Kogel +12 more
TL;DR: The potential of Piriformospora indica to induce resistance to fungal diseases and tolerance to salt stress in the monocotyledonous plant barley is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection patterns in barley and wheat spikes inoculated with wild-type and trichodiene synthase gene disrupted Fusarium graminearum
Carin Jansen,Diter von Wettstein,Wilhelm Schäfer,Karl-Heinz Kogel,Angelika Felk,Frank J. Maier +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that trichothecenes are not a virulence factor during infection through the fruit coat of Fusarium head blight, and the fungus is blocked by the development of heavy cell wall thickenings in the rachis node of Nandu wheat, a defense inhibited by the mycotoxin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The production of recombinant proteins in transgenic barley grains.
Henriette Horvath,Jintai Huang,Oi Wong,Elizabeth Kohl,Thomas W. Okita,C. Gamini Kannangara,Diter von Wettstein +6 more
TL;DR: The grain of the self-pollinating diploid barley species offers two modes of producing recombinant enzymes or other proteins, one uses the promoters of genes with aleurone-specific expression during germination and the signal peptide code for export of the protein into the endosperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
tRNAGlu as a cofactor in δ-aminolevulinate biosynthesis: steps that regulate chlorophyll synthesis
C. Gamini Kannangara,Simon P. Gough,Philippe Bruyant,J. Kenneth Hoober,Albert Kahn,Diter von Wettstein +5 more
TL;DR: The first step of the pathway is activation of glutamate by ligation to δ-ALA-RNA, a reaction identical to that in protein synthesis, which has been identified as the chloroplast tRNA Glu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenerational inheritance of modified DNA methylation patterns and enhanced tolerance induced by heavy metal stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Xiufang Ou,Yunhong Zhang,Chunming Xu,Xiuyun Lin,Qi Zang,Tingting Zhuang,Lili Jiang,Diter von Wettstein,Bao Liu +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that environmental induction of heritable modifications in DNA methylation provides a plausible molecular underpinning for the still contentious paradigm of inheritance of acquired traits originally put forward by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck more than 200 years ago.
