Journal ArticleDOI

MYC2 differentially modulates diverse jasmonate-dependent functions in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: It is found that MYC2 negatively regulates Trp and Trp-derived secondary metabolism such as indole glucosinolate biosynthesis during JA signaling and positively regulates JA-mediated resistance to insect pests, and tolerance to oxidative stress, possibly via enhanced ascorbate redox cycling and flavonoid biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seed dormancy and ABA metabolism in Arabidopsis and barley: the role of ABA 8'-hydroxylase

TL;DR: The results point to a pivotal role for the ABA 8'-hydroxylase gene in controlling dormancy and that the action of this enzyme may be confined to a particular organ as in the coleorhiza of cereals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grapes on steroids. Brassinosteroids are involved in grape berry ripening.

TL;DR: It is shown that increases in endogenous BR levels, but not indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or GA levels, are associated with ripening in grapes, and that application of BRs to grape berries significantly promoted ripening, while brassinazole significantly delayed fruit ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internode length in Pisum

TL;DR: The results confirm that the Le gene in peas controls the 3β-hydroxylation of GA20 to GA1, and confirms that the na mutation prevents the production of C19-GAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective Long-Distance Auxin Transport Regulation in the Medicago truncatula super numeric nodules Mutant

TL;DR: A model for the role of auxin during AON of indeterminate legumes is proposed: high levels of endogenous auxin are correlated with increased numbers of nodules, inoculation of roots reduces auxin loading from the shoot to the root, and subsequent reduction of auxIn levels in the root inhibits further nodule initiation.
