Critical roles of DNA demethylation in the activation of ripening-induced genes and inhibition of ripening-repressed genes in tomato fruit
Zhaobo Lang,Zhaobo Lang,Yihai Wang,Kai Tang,Dengguo Tang,Tatsiana Datsenka,Jingfei Cheng,Yijing Zhang,Avtar K. Handa,Jian-Kang Zhu,Jian-Kang Zhu +10 more
TL;DR: This work generated loss-of-function mutant alleles of a tomato gene, SlDML2, which is a close homolog of the Arabidopsis DNA demethylase gene ROS1, and discovered that SlD ML2 is required for the demethylation and activation of genes important for fruit ripening, including genes involved in fruit pigment and flavor synthesis, ethylene synthesis and signaling, and cell wall hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of green light to plant growth and development
Yihai Wang,Kevin M. Folta +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the growth responses in artificially manipulated light environments with an emphasis on the roles of green wavebands, and may be extended to understanding the influence of green light in shade avoidance responses as well as other plant developmental and physiological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyhydroxy fullerenes (fullerols or fullerenols): beneficial effects on growth and lifespan in diverse biological models.
Jie Gao,Yihai Wang,Kevin M. Folta,Vijay Krishna,Wei Bai,Paul A. Indeglia,Angelina Georgieva,Hideya Nakamura,Ben Koopman,Brij M. Moudgil +9 more
TL;DR: Interestingly beneficial and/or specific effects of PHF are reported on model organisms representing four kingdoms, including the green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the fungus Aspergillus niger, and the invertebrate Ceriodaphnia dubia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phototropin 1 and cryptochrome action in response to green light in combination with other wavelengths
TL;DR: How enriched green environments may adjust RL and BL photomorphogenic responses through both the crys and phot1 receptors is demonstrated, and a new role for phot1 in stem growth promotion is defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green light augments far-red-light-induced shade response
TL;DR: The results suggest that phyA or phyB is required for the green light shade response, but they are not the main receptors because green light would increase the R/Fr ratio, leading to a non-shade phenotype.
