A comparative study in Malva sylvestris L. plants was carried out for change in growth pattern and their anthocyanin production with various induced stress. Exogenous administration of 0.1mM concentration of abscisic acid, silver nitrate as foliar spray for five successive days and supplemental thirty minutes exposure dose of UV-B for continuous three days to the plants significantly induced va...

Ethylene, abscisic acid, and cytokinins were tested for their ability to either induce or prevent the changes which occur in gas exchange characteristics of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rheinlands Ruhm) leaves during short-term soil flooding. Ethylene, which increases in the shoots of flooded plants, had no effect on stomatal conductance or photosynthetic capacity of drained plants...

The degree of tubulin polymerization in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Acala) cotyledonary tissue was estimated by radioimmunoassay which measured the amount of a tubulin-like factor. It was assumed that the release of this tubulin-like factor indicated depolymerization of microtubules. Exposure to chilling resulted in complete release of the tubulin-like factor. Pretreatment with abscisic ac...

Abscisic acid (ABA) controls many physiological processes and mediates adaptive responses to abiotic stresses. The ABA signaling mechanisms for abscisic acid receptors PYR/PYL/RCAR (PYLs) were reported. However, it remains unclear whether the molecular mechanisms are suitable for other PYLs. Here, complex structures of PYL3 with (+)-ABA, pyrabactin and HAB1 are reported. An unexpected trans-hom...

Magnesium chelatase is the first unique enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. It is composed of three gene products of which the largest is 150 kD. This protein was recently identified as an abscisic acid receptor in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). We have evaluated whether the barley (Hordeum vulgare) magnesium chelatase large subunit, XanF, could be a receptor for the phytohormo...

Along with sugar accumulation and colour development, softening is an important physiological change during the onset of ripening in fruits. In this work, we investigated the relationships among major events during softening in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) by quantifying elasticity in individual berries. In addition, we delayed softening and inhibited sugar accumulation using a mechanical growth-p...
