Abstract DEEPER ROOTING 1 (DRO1) contributes to the downward gravitropic growth trajectory of roots upstream of lateral auxin transport in monocots and dicots. Loss of DRO1 function leads to horizontally oriented lateral roots and altered gravitropic set point angle, while loss of all three DRO family members results in upward, vertical root growth...

Key message The Taguchi method and metAFLP analysis were used to optimise barley regenerants towards maximum and minimum levels of tissue culture-induced variation. The subtle effects of symmetric and asymmetric methylation changes in regenerants were identified. Abstract Plant tissue cultures (PTCs) provide researchers with unique materials that a...

Key message Multiple variables that control the relative levels of successful heritable plant genome editing were addressed using simple case studies in Arabidopsis thaliana . Abstract The recent advent of genome editing technologies (especially CRISPR, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) has revolutionized various fields of ...

Key message PTR2 in Arabidopsis thaliana is negatively regulated by ABI4 and plays a key role in water uptake by seeds, ensuring that imbibed seeds proceed to germination. Abstract Peptide transporters (PTRs) transport nitrogen-containing substrates in a proton-dependent manner. Among the six PTRs in Arabidopsis thaliana , the physiological role of...

The ES5 locus was cloned by map-based cloning that encodes a phosphatidylserine synthase. Mutation in ES5 caused accumulation of phosphatidylserine which influences premature leaf senescence in rice ( Oryza sativa L.). Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (10.1007/s11103-019-00961-4) contains supplementary material, ...

We reveal a MAPK cascade, MKK4/5-MPK1, which not only phosphorylates the key SA signaling component NPR1 specifically, but also regulates its oligomer-to-monomer conformational change somehow via mediation of TRX-h3/5.
