A rice seed-specific glycine-rich protein OsDOR1 interacts with GID1 to repress GA signaling and regulates seed dormancy
Seed dormancy is an important agronomic trait under the control of complex genetic and environmental interactions, which have not been yet comprehensively understood. From the field screening of rice mutant li...

Rice LIM protein OsPLIM2a is involved in rice seed and tiller development
Yield of major monocotyledonous crops including wheat, rice, barley, and sorghum is greatly influenced by tillering. However, deciphering the underlying mechanisms of the tillering has long been hindered becau...

Open AccessComparative proteomic analysis of early salt stress-responsive proteins in roots of SnRK2 transgenic rice
The rice roots are highly salt-sensitive organ and primary root growth is rapidly suppressed by salt stress. Sucrose nonfermenting 1-related protein kinase2 (SnRK2) family is one of the key regulator of hyper-...

Cloning of a cDNA probably encoding oxidosqualene cyclase associated with asiaticoside biosynthesis from Centella asiatica (L.) Urban
A homology-based PCR method was used to clone a cDNA encoding oxidosqualene cyclase from Centella asiatica, which produces a large quantity of triterpene saponins such as asiaticoside and madecassoside. Sequence ...

Effect of growth regulators on asiaticoside production in whole plant cultures ofCentella asiatica (L) urban
We investigated the effects of growth regulators on whole-plant cultures derived from nodes ofCentella asiatica. A B5 liquid medium including 0.01 mg L-1 2,4-D resulted in decreased growth and asiaticoside produc...
