Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus Stress in Common Bean: Root Transcript and Metabolic Responses
Georgina Hernández,Mario Ramírez,Oswaldo Valdés-López,Mesfin Tesfaye,Michelle A. Graham,Tomasz Czechowski,Armin Schlereth,Maren Wandrey,Alexander Erban,Foo Cheung,Hank C. Wu,Miguel Lara,Christopher D. Town,Joachim Kopka,Michael K. Udvardi,Carroll P. Vance +15 more
TL;DR: Functional genomics was used to investigate global gene expression and metabolic responses of bean plants grown under P-deficient and P-sufficient conditions and candidate genes have been identified that may contribute to root adaptation to P deficiency and be useful for improvement of common bean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of Malate Dehydrogenase in Transgenic Alfalfa Enhances Organic Acid Synthesis and Confers Tolerance to Aluminum
TL;DR: The degree of Al tolerance by transformed plants in hydroponic solutions and in naturally acid soil corresponded with their patterns of organic acid exudation and supports the concept that enhancing organic acid synthesis in plants may be an effective strategy to cope with soil acidity and Al toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant improvement for tolerance to aluminum in acid soils – a review
Deborah A. Samac,Mesfin Tesfaye +1 more
TL;DR: Three main approaches that have been taken to develop crops with Al tolerance are summarized: recurrent selection and breeding, development of Al tolerant somaclonal variants and ectopic expression of transgenes to reduce Al uptake or limit damage to cells by Al.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central cell-derived peptides regulate early embryo patterning in flowering plants.
Liliana M. Costa,Eleanor Marshall,Mesfin Tesfaye,Kevin A. T. Silverstein,Masashi Mori,Yoshitaka Umetsu,Sophie L. Otterbach,Ranjith K Papareddy,Hugh G. Dickinson,Kim Boutiller,Kathryn A. VandenBosch,Shinya Ohki,José F. Gutierrez-Marcos +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the second female gamete and its sexually derived endosperm regulate early embryonic patterning in flowering plants and synergistically with the receptor-like kinase SHORT SUSPENSOR to promote suspensor elongation through the YODA mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of constitutive promoters for expression of transgenes in alfalfa (Medicago sativa).
TL;DR: The high constitutive levels of both GUS and endochitinase activity obtained demonstrate that the CsVMV promoter is useful for high-level transgene expression in alfalfa.
