Journal ArticleDOI
Space, the final frontier: A critical review of recent experiments performed in microgravity
TL;DR: A critical review of recent spaceflight experiments is provided and ways in which future experiments can be designed to improve the value and applicability of the results generated are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light and gravity signals synergize in modulating plant development
TL;DR: This work discusses the similarities in these two processes, as well as the known molecular mechanisms behind the tropistic responses, and highlights research done in a microgravity environment in order to decouple two tropisms through experiments carried out in the absence of a significant unilateral gravity vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterologous expression of OsSIZ1, a rice SUMO E3 ligase, enhances broad abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic creeping bentgrass
Zhigang Li,Qian Hu,Man Zhou,Joshua P. Vandenbrink,Dayong Li,Nick Menchyk,Shane Reighard,Ayla Norris,Haibo Liu,Dongfa Sun,Hong Luo +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of manipulating SUMO E3 ligase, one of the important components in the sumoylation pathway in transgenic (TG) crop plants for improving overall plant performance under adverse environmental conditions, was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turning heads: The biology of solar tracking in sunflower
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge about shoot apical heliotropism in sunflower is discussed and candidate mechanisms that may contribute to daytime and nighttime movement are highlighted, including light signaling, hormonal action, and circadian regulation of growth pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioenergy grass feedstock: current options and prospects for trait improvement using emerging genetic, genomic, and systems biology toolkits.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the genetic and genomic resource landscape for the improvement of a specific bioenergy feedstock group, the C4 bioenergy grasses, and outline genetic resources available for mapping bioenergy traits to DNA markers and genes.
