Pollen-mediated flow of bar gene in transgenic herbicide-resistant turf grass Zoysia japonica
Weed control can be most effectively achieved through the use of herbicide-resistance transgene. A preliminary study bar-transgenic Zoysia japonica posed no serious risk on the unintended escape of the transgene ...

Overexpression of ATHG1/AHL23 and ATPG3/AHL20, Arabidopsis AT-hook motif nuclear-localized genes, confers salt tolerance in transgenic Zoysia japonica
Zoysia japonica Steud. is a native turfgrass in the Korean peninsula and is used worldwide. Abnormal conditions of soil salinity inhibit plant growth and adversely affect the quality of the turfgrass. AT-hook mot...

A novel basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, ZjICE2 from Zoysia japonica confers abiotic stress tolerance to transgenic plants via activating the DREB/CBF regulon and enhancing ROS scavenging
ZjICE2 works as a positive regulator in abiotic stress responses and ZjICE2 is a valuable genetic resource to improve abiotic stress tolerance in the molecular breeding program of Zoysia japonica.

Overexpression of Zoysia ZjCIGR1 gene confers cold stress resistance to zoysiagrass
Zoysia japonica Steud. is a warm-season lawn grass popular in Korea and elsewhere. They are cultivated in many places such as river banks, roadside, and play grounds. However, there still is a disadvantage of fre...

Overexpression of ICE1, a Regulator of Cold-Induced Transcriptome, Confers Cold Tolerance to Transgenic Zoysia japonica
Numerous genes are known to regulate the cold response in plants. The ICE1 gene is a regulator of coldinduced transcriptome playing an important role in cold tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, the Arabidops...

Overexpression of phytochrome A and its hyperactive mutant improves shade tolerance and turf quality in cree** bentgrass and zoysiagrass
Phytochrome A (phyA) in higher plants is known to function as a far-red/shade light-sensing photoreceptor in suppressing shade avoidance responses (SARs) to shade stress. In this paper, the Avena PHYA gene was in...

Phytochrome-mediated photomorphogenesis in plants
Photomorphogenesis is the process by which plants grow and develop in response to light signals. This process is mediated by a sophisticated network of photoreceptors among which phytochromes play a key role. ...

Differential interactions of phytochrome A (Pr vs. Pfr) with monoclonal antibodies probed by a surface plasmon resonance technique
Phytochromes are red- and far-red light-reversible photoreceptors for photomorphogenesis in plants. Phytochrome A is a dimeric chromopeptide that mediates very low fluence and high irradiance responses. To ana...

A Structure—Function Model Based on Inter-Domain Crosstalks in Phytochromes
The molecular mechanism for the on/off switching of the phytochromes is driven by the photochromic phototransformation between the two spectrally distinct forms of the phytochromes, a red light (R, 660 nm) abs...
