Dohm,Heinz Himmelbauer,Bernd Weisshaar,Josef Kraus,Jan Gielen,Murielle Lommel,Guy Weyens,Bettina Wahl,Axel Schechert,Ove Nilsson,Christian Jung,Thomas Kraft,Andreas E. Müller +21 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that domestication of beets involved the selection of a rare partial loss-of-function BvBTC1 allele that imparts reduced sensitivity to photoperiod that is restored by vernalization, thus conferring bienniality, and illustrate how evolutionary plasticity at a key regulatory point can enable new life cycle strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piriformospora indica confers drought tolerance on Zea mays L. through enhancement of antioxidant activity and expression of drought-related genes
TL;DR: Piriformospora indica- mediated plant protection against the detrimental effects of drought may result from enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, proline accumulation, and expression of drought-related genes and lower membrane damage in maize plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Phytohormones in Piriformospora indica-Induced Growth Promotion and Stress Tolerance in Plants: More Questions Than Answers.
TL;DR: The roles of the phytohormones (auxins, cytokinin, gibberellins, abscisic acid, ethylene, salicylic acid, jasmonates, and brassinosteroids) in the interaction of P. indica with higher plant species are discussed, and available data with those from other microorganisms interacting with roots are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the sdw1 semi-dwarf gene in barley
Yanhao Xu,Yanhao Xu,Qiaojun Jia,Gaofeng Zhou,Xiao-Qi Zhang,Tefera Tolera Angessa,Sue Broughton,George Yan,Wenying Zhang,Chengdao Li,Chengdao Li,Chengdao Li +11 more
TL;DR: The results provided further proof that the gibberellin 20-oxidase gene (HvGA20ox2) is the functional gene of the barley sdw1 mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought stress responses in maize are diminished by Piriformospora indica.
TL;DR: Under drought stress, the fungus improved the oxidative potential of the roots, and stimulated genes for hormone functions, including those which respond to abscisic acid, auxin, salicylic acid and cytokinins.
