Mutations in AP22.65 accelerate flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana
Identification of the gene(s) responsible for flowering time in Arabidopsis has significant implications. We used the T-DNA insertion library of Arabidopsis thaliana to screen an early-flowering mutant that exhib...

Functional analysis of BT4 of Arabidopsis thaliana in resistance against Botrytis cinerea
Botrytis cinerea is a fungus with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide, resulting in significant economic losses. At present, the molecular and cellular mechanisms inv...

D27E mutation of VTC1 impairs the interaction with CSN5B and enhances ascorbic acid biosynthesis and seedling growth in Arabidopsis
Our previous investigation revealed that GDP-Man pyrophosphorylase (VTC1), a vital ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthesis enzyme, could be degraded through interaction with the photomorphogenic factor COP9 signaloso...

The ethylene response factor OsERF109 negatively affects ethylene biosynthesis and drought tolerance in rice
Drought is an important factor limiting plant development and crop production. Dissecting the factors involved in this process is the key for enhancement of plant tolerance to drought stress by genetic approac...

Identification of laccase-like multicopper oxidases from the pathogenic fungus Setosphaeria turcica and their expression pattern during growth and infection
Setosphaeria turcica (syn. Exserohilum turcicum) is the pathogenic fungus of maize (Zea mays) causing northern leaf blight, which is a major maize disease worldwide. Laccase-like multicopper oxidases (LMCOs) are ...

TOP1α fine-tunes TOR-PLT2 to maintain root tip homeostasis in response to sugars
Plant development is highly dependent on energy levels. TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR) activates the proximal root meristem to promote root development in response to photosynthesis-derived sugars during photomorph...

Protein kinase C is required for the pathogenicity of Setosphaeria turcica on maize
Northern corn leaf blight caused by Setosphaeria turcica is one of the most important fungal diseases of maize. We previously cloned and analyzed the gene encoding protein kinase C (PKC) in S. turcica, as this Ca
