Abstract WRKY transcription factor plays important roles in plant growth and resistance, but only a few members have been identified strawberry. Here we FvWRKY50 diploid strawberry which played essential vegetative reproductive growth. Knocking out by genome editing accelerated flowering time leaf senescence delayed anthocyanin accumulation fruit. Further analysis showed that acted as transcrip...

Expression of defensive genes from a promoter that is specifically activated in response to pathogen invasion is highly desirable for engineering disease-resistant plants. A plant transformation vector was constructed with transcriptional fusion between the pathogen-responsive win3.12T promoter from poplar and the gene encoding the novel cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide (CEMA) with strong ant...

individual grain weight of wheat kernels differs with their positions on a spike. cultivation practices (such as fertilizer nitrogen and plant growth regulators application) can be used to improve weight of basal and distal kernels. for this purpose, two experiments based on randomized complete block design were carried out with three replications. the aim of this research was to study the mech...

The use of Bacillus subtilis as an inoculant can promote plant growth through several mechanisms. Thus, the objective this work was to evaluate efficiency a soybean promoter inoculant. Seven isolates B. (Bs01; Bs02; Bs03; Bs04; Bs05; Bs06 and Bs10) were evaluated for their ability solubilize phosphate synthesis indole acetic acid, in vitro, production biomass plants vegetation House. All able p...

Abstract Poultry production significantly contributes to bridging the food gap worldwide. Several nations have limited usage of antibiotic growth promotors due bacterial resistance antibiotics and occurrence residual in edible tissues birds. The world is now turning using natural alternatives increase poultry as well birds’ diseases. Withania somnifera (WS; family: Solanaceae) a precious medici...

during plant infection, fungal pathogens secret polygalacturonase (pg) that are capable of degrading cell wall of susceptible plant tissues. polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (pgips) are able to specifically inhibit fungal polygalacturonases (pgs) activity. the inhibition of fungal pgs by pgips suggests that pgips have a role in plant tolerance to fungal infections. in this study bean (dane...

Plant lodging resistance is an important integrative agronomic trait of grain yield and quality in crops. Although extensin proteins are tightly associated with plant cell growth and cell wall construction, little has yet been reported about their impacts on plant lodging resistance. In this study, we isolated a novel extensin-like (OsEXTL) gene in rice, and selected transgenic rice plants that...

Induction and secretion of acid phosphatases (APases) is considered to be an important strategy for improving plant growth under conditions of low inorganic phosphate (Pi). Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), are an important class of plant APases that could be secreted into the rhizosphere to utilize organic phosphorus (Po) for plant growth and development. To date, only a few members of the PAP ...

Aphids, a hemipteran group of insects pose a serious threat to many of the major crop species including Brassica oilseeds. Transgenic strategies for developing aphid-resistant plant types necessitate phloem-bound expression of the insecticidal genes. A few known phloem-specific promoters, in spite of tissue-specific activity fail to confer high level gene-expression. Here, we identified seven o...
