In an approach to study lateral root development in monocots, genome-wide searches for homologs of the Gibberellic Acid Stimulated Transcript-like (GAST-like) gene family in rice (Oryza sativa) and maize (Zea mays) were carried out. Six novel GAST-like genes in rice and 10 members of the gene family in maize, which were designated ZmGSL (for Z. mays Gibberellic Acid Stimulated-Like), were ident...

Salt stress is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of rice, the staple diet in many countries. Gibberellic acid has been reported to reduce NaCl-induced growth inhibition in some plants including rice. Most paddy soils have a natural population of Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic photosynthethic microorganisms, which synthesize and liberate plant growth regulators such as gibber...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Within plastids, geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase is a key enzyme in the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway that catalyzes the formation of geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a precursor molecule to several biochemical pathways including those that lead into the biosynthesis of carotenoids and abscisic acid, prenyllipids such as the chlorophylls, and diterpenes such ...

almonds belong to prunus genus, which is related to rosaceae family. it has close relatives with different species of stoned fruits. one of the main reasons for the long period of seed germination in prunus is compound dormancy, such as the external seed cover as physical dormancy and embryo dormancy causes physiological dormancy. seed stratification and treatments with various hormones are use...

in order to study the effects of cppu and ga3 on fruit quality and quantity of sultanina grapes, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design was implemented in a commercial vineyard near bonab city (west azerbaijan province). the spraying was done at fruit set stage using cppu and gibberellic acid. according to the results, it was found that these plant growth regulators had a ...

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...

Tests of the germination response of light sensitive Lepidium virginicum seeds to applied gibberellic acid confirmed earlier reports that gibberellic acid can substitute for red light. Further tests indicated that promotion of germination by either red light or gibberellic acid can be nullified by abscisic acid. Dark incubation of the seeds in kinetin alone resulted in only slight promotion of ...

Gibberellic acid increases the level of RNA polymerase associated with chromatin isolated from expanding internodes of light-grown, dwarf pea plants (Pisum sativum L.), without a detectable increase in the amount of DNA template available.
