Journal ArticleDOI
Plant small RNAs: biogenesis, mode of action and their roles in abiotic stresses.
TL;DR: The present review focuses on the current understanding of biogenesis and regulatory mechanisms of plant sRNAs and their responses to various abiotic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
An early gene of the flavonoid pathway, flavanone 3-hydroxylase, exhibits a positive relationship with the concentration of catechins in tea (Camellia sinensis).

TL;DR: The strong correlation between the concentration of catechins and CsF3H expression indicates a critical role of F3H in catechin biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-transcriptional silencing of flavonol synthase mRNA in tobacco leads to fruits with arrested seed set.
TL;DR: The role of flavonols particularly quercetin in pollen germination as well as in the regulation of plant fertility is identified and a novel approach towards generation of seedless/less-seeded fruits is proposed via PTGS of FLS encoding gene in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of a tea flavanone 3-hydroxylase gene confers tolerance to salt stress and Alternaria solani in transgenic tobacco.
TL;DR: Overexpression of CsF3H cDNA increased the content of flavan-3-ols in tobacco and conferred tolerance to salt stress and fungus Alternaria solani infection to transgenic tobacco through improved antioxidant system and enhanced pectin methyl esterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
AtROS1 overexpression provides evidence for epigenetic regulation of genes encoding enzymes of flavonoid biosynthesis and antioxidant pathways during salt stress in transgenic tobacco.
TL;DR: AtROS1 overexpression increases demethylation levels of promoters and coding regions of genes encoding enzymes of the flavonoid biosynthetic and antioxidant pathways to provide salt stress tolerance in transgenic tobacco.
