Transcription factors controlling the expression of oxidative stress associated genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases under stress and damages cellular processes leading to decrease in productivity. Many genes have been known to be involved in scavenging ROS. We report the identificatio...

VRS2 regulates hormone-mediated inflorescence patterning in barley
Thorsten Schnurbusch, Helmy Youssef and colleagues show that VRS2, a transcription factor of the SHI family, regulates floral organ patterning and phase duration during spike development in barley. Their data ...

Expression of a rice Zn transporter, OsZIP1, increases Zn concentration in tobacco and finger millet transgenic plants
Zinc (Zn) deficiency is very widespread both from the plant and human nutrition perspective. One of the approaches to improve Zn in crop plants is by over-expression of Zn transporters such that plants can upt...

Open AccessMAPK-dependent JA and SA signalling in Nicotiana attenuataaffects plant growth and fitness during competition with conspecifics
Induced defense responses to herbivores are generally believed to have evolved as cost-saving strategies that defer the fitness costs of defense metabolism until these defenses are needed. The fitness costs of...

Functional characterization of Nicotiana benthamiana homologs of peanut water deficit-induced genes by virus-induced gene silencing
Determining the functional role of genes that are differentially regulated during a stress response is challenging. In this study, few water deficit-induced genes from peanut were characterized in Nicotiana benth...
