Plants encounter a variety of stresses and must fine-tune their growth and stress-response programs to best suit their environment. BES1 functions as a master regulator in the brassinosteroid (BR) pathway that promotes plant growth. Here, we show that BES1 interacts with the ubiquitin receptor protein DSK2 and is targeted to the autophagy pathway during stress via the interaction of DSK2 with A...

The effects of indoleacetic acid (IAA) on plant growth and development have been intensively studied for more than three decades. Some effects are reflected in changes in cell size, while others (e.g., adventitious roots, calluses, & tumors) involve an overall expansion with cell proliferation (1, 5. 20, 21, 35). Complementary systems have recently been found for studying in intact organisms A:...

The growth regulator abscisic acid (ABA) can be used to induce dormant bud structures (turions) in the duckweed Spirodela polyrrhiza L. In this paper we show that during this process, ABA rapidly induces elevated levels of mRNA transcripts encoding a novel basic peroxidase. In addition, we show that in the presence of the cytokinin kinetin the maintained increase is attenuated. Kinetin not only...

As sessile organisms, plants must be able to adapt to the environment. Plants respond to the environment by adjusting their growth and development, which is mediated by sophisticated signaling networks that integrate multiple environmental and endogenous signals. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that a bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays a major role in the multiple signal integration f...

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...
