Arabidopsis Chromatin Remodeler SPLAYED Is Required for Abscisic Acid-Mediated Post-Germination Growth Arrest.

Germination-Related Universal Stress Protein (GRUSP) Is Involved in Abscisic Acid Responses During Imbibition and Early Post-Germination Growth of Arabidopsis Seeds

The universal stress protein (USP) family is a large but poorly studied group of plant proteins whose roles are considered primarily in the context of stress tolerance. This study demonstrates that the functions of USPs are not limited to the stress response but also influence plant developmental processes, namely, the...

CPL1/FRY2 Regulates ABA Biosynthesis and Modulates SA/JA-Mediated Defence in Arabidopsis.

It is demonstrated that CPL1 regulates ABA biosynthesis and modulates SA/JA-associated defence responses in Arabidopsis thaliana, positioning CPL1 as a key integrator of epigenetic regulation, hormone crosstalk, and pathogen-specific immune tuning.

The Repressive Role of OsAHT1 in the ABA Signaling Pathway

The miR1866-OsUBP7 regulatory module promotes grain yield and seed dormancy through abscisic acid signaling in rice.

Higher grain weight and stronger seed dormancy are key objectives for improving rice (Oryza sativa) yield and inhibiting pre-harvest sprouting. Therefore, identifying genes that coordinately regulate grain weight and seed dormancy is an urgent priority. Here, we report that knocking out miR1866 (KO1866) increased grain...

The BEE2 gene integrates brassinosteroid signalling into a regulatory module controlling gibberellin-mediated germination

Results indicate that BEE2 seems to provide an additive function to the RGL2-NAC-EXPA2 regulatory module to control the germination process mainly when GAs levels are compromised, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the control of the germination process.

Dual Roles of RAD23b and RAD4 on the Desiccation Tolerance of Germinated Seeds.

Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a survival trait enabling orthodox seeds to withstand extremely low water content. While some protective factors are characterised, it remains mechanistically obscure. Here, based on PEG-induced DT re-establishment in germinated Brassica napus L. seeds, we investigated the dual functions o...
