Retrograde Signaling by the Plastidial Metabolite MEcPP Regulates Expression of Nuclear Stress-Response Genes

TL;DR: It is proposed that the MEP pathway, in addition to producing isoprenoids, functions as a stress sensor and a coordinator of expression of targeted stress-responsive nuclear genes via modulation of the levels of MEcPP, a specific and critical retrograde-signaling metabolite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of high levels of 8:0 and 10:0 fatty acids in transgenic canola by overexpression of Ch FatB2, a thioesterase cDNA from Cuphea hookeriana.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the amplified expression of Ch FatB2 in the embryo provides the hydrolytic enzyme specificity determining the fatty acyl composition of Cuphea hookeriana seed oil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical Stress Induces Biotic and Abiotic Stress Responses via a Novel cis-Element

TL;DR: Data provide evidence for a novel cis-element that is distributed across the promoters of an array of diverse stress-responsive genes, poised to respond immediately and coordinately to stress signals, and suggests that plants may have a transcriptional network resembling the general stress signaling pathway in yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Convergence of Oxylipin and Abscisic Acid Pathways Controls Stomatal Closure in Response to Drought

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of 12-OPDA in plant drought responses was explored in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ecotypes to examine the oxylipin signature in response to specific stresses and determined that wounding and drought differentially alter oxylIPin profiles, particularly the allene oxide synthase branch, responsible for production of jasmonic acid (JA) and its precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid.
