Journal ArticleDOI
Germination—Still a mystery
TL;DR: Given the multipart nature of the seed, the requirements imposed upon it in addition to completing germination (which involves only a limited number of cells), the challenge to identify ‘germination-completion’ genes is large and there are limited opportunities at present for improving germination through genetic manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homeostatic response to hypoxia is regulated by the N-end rule pathway in plants
Daniel J. Gibbs,Seung Cho Lee,Nurulhikma Md Isa,Silvia Gramuglia,Takeshi Fukao,George W. Bassel,Cristina Sousa Correia,Françoise Corbineau,Frederica L. Theodoulou,Julia Bailey-Serres,Michael J. Holdsworth +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that plants lacking components of the N-end rule pathway constitutively express core hypoxia-response genes and are more tolerant of hypoxic stress, and a molecular mechanism for oxygen sensing in plants via the evolutionarily conserved N- end rule pathway is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-expression tools for plant biology: opportunities for hypothesis generation and caveats
Bjoern Usadel,Takeshi Obayashi,Marek Mutwil,Federico M. Giorgi,George W. Bassel,Mimi Tanimoto,Amanda Chow,Dirk Steinhauser,Staffan Persson,Nicholas J. Provart +9 more
TL;DR: Examples from the literature, wherein co-expression has been used to corroborate and discover various aspects of plant biology are presented, and statistical issues including how normalization of gene expression data can influence co- expression results are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed vigour and crop establishment: extending performance beyond adaptation
TL;DR: How some seed characteristics that serve as adaptive responses to the natural environment are not suitable for agriculture are discussed and ways in which basic plant science could be applied to enhance seed performance in crop production are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis PYR/PYL/RCAR Receptors Play a Major Role in Quantitative Regulation of Stomatal Aperture and Transcriptional Response to Abscisic Acid
Miguel González-Guzmán,Gaston A. Pizzio,Regina Antoni,Francisco Vera-Sirera,Ebe Merilo,George W. Bassel,Maria A. Fernandez,Michael J. Holdsworth,Miguel A. Perez-Amador,Hannes Kollist,Pedro L. Rodriguez +10 more
TL;DR: Results show that ABA perception by PYR/PYLs plays a major role in regulation of seed germination and establishment, basal ABA signaling required for vegetative and reproductive growth, stomatal aperture, and transcriptional response to the hormone.
