Key messageTwo homologs PsnSuSy1 and PsnSuSy2 from poplar played largely similar but little distinct roles in modulating sink strength, accelerating vegetative growth and modifying secondary growth of plant. Co-overexpression of them together resulted in small but perceptible additive effects.AbstractSucrose synthase (SuSy) acts as a crucial determ...

Key messageBcMAF2plays a key role in flowering regulation by controllingBcTEM1, BcSOC1andBCSPL15in Pak-choi.AbstractFlowering is a key event in the life cycle of plants. Flowering time shows an extensive variation from different Pak-choi (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis) cultivars. However, the regulation mechanism of flowering in Pak-choi remains rar...

Key messageSymbiotic nitrogen fixation in root nodules of grain legumes is essential for high yielding. Protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation plays important role in root nodule development. Differences in the phosphoproteomes may either be developmental specific and related to nitrogen fixation activity. An iTRAQ-based quantitative phosphoprot...

Key messageThe ER membrane localized aquaporin SIP2;1 is involved in adaptation to ER stresses during pollen tube elongation.AbstractAquaporins play multifaceted roles through selective transport of water and small neutral substrates. Here, we focused on the physiological roles of Arabidopsis thaliana aquaporins, namely SIP1;1, SIP1;2 and SIP2;1, w...

Key messageWe determined the structure of OsPYL/RCAR3:OsPP2C50 complex with pyrabactin. Our results suggest that a less-conserved phenylalanine of OsPYL/RCAR subfamily I is one of considerations of ABA agonist development for Oryza sativa.AbstractPyrabactin is a synthetic chemical mimicking abscisic acid (ABA), a naturally occurring phytohormone or...
