Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic approaches to plant stress tolerance.
John C. Cushman,Hans J. Bohnert +1 more
TL;DR: The discovery of novel genes, determination of their expression patterns in response to abiotic stress, and an improved understanding of their roles in stress adaptation will provide the basis of effective engineering strategies leading to greater stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water and salinity stress in grapevines: early and late changes in transcript and metabolite profiles.
Grant R. Cramer,Ali Ergül,Jérôme Grimplet,Richard L. Tillett,Elizabeth A. R. Tattersall,Marlene C. Bohlman,Delphine Vincent,Justin Sonderegger,Jason Evans,Craig Osborne,David R. Quilici,Karen Schlauch,David A. Schooley,John C. Cushman +13 more
TL;DR: Different differences between water deficit and salinity were revealed and water-deficit-treated plants appear to have a higher demand than salinized plants to adjust osmotically, detoxify free radicals (reactive oxygen species), and cope with photoinhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance of mannitol-accumulating transgenic wheat to water stress and salinity.
TL;DR: It is shown that ectopic expression of the mtlD gene for the biosynthesis of mannitol in wheat improves tolerance to water stress and salinity and concludes that the improved growth performance of calli and mature leaves was due to other stress-protective functions ofMannitol, although this study cannot rule out possible osmotic effects in growing regions of the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Microbial Opsin Family of Optogenetic Tools
Feng Zhang,Johannes Vierock,Ofer Yizhar,Lief E. Fenno,Satoshi Tsunoda,Arash Kianianmomeni,Matthias Prigge,Andre Berndt,John C. Cushman,Juergen E. W. Polle,Jon K. Magnuson,Peter Hegemann,Karl Deisseroth +12 more
TL;DR: A Primer on these light-activated ion channels and pumps is provided, a group of opsins bridging prior categories are described, and the convergence of molecular engineering and genomic discovery for the utilization and understanding of these remarkable molecular machines are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water deficit alters differentially metabolic pathways affecting important flavor and quality traits in grape berries of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay
Laurent G. Deluc,David R. Quilici,Alain Decendit,Jérôme Grimplet,Matthew D. Wheatley,Karen Schlauch,Jean-Michel Mérillon,John C. Cushman,Grant R. Cramer +8 more
TL;DR: The metabolic responses of grapes to water deficit varied with the cultivar and fruit pigmentation, and changes in metabolism have important impacts on berry flavor and quality characteristics.
