Abstract STOP1 (sensitive to proton rhizotoxicity1) is a master transcription factor that governs the expression of set regulatory and structural genes involved in resistance aluminum low pH ( i.e ., proton) stresses Arabidopsis. However, mechanisms networks underlying STOP1-mediated are largely unclear. Here, we report low-pH severely inhibited root growth stop1 plants by suppressing meristem ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The typical rootless linear shoots of aquatic carnivorous plants exhibit clear, steep polarity associated with very rapid apical shoot growth. The aim of this study was to determine how auxin and cytokinin contents are related to polarity and shoot growth in such plants. METHODS The main auxin and cytokinin metabolites in separated shoot segments and turions of two carnivo...

The formation of active oxygen species affects the morphogenesis of plant cells and tissues and inhibits the process of development during in vitro cultivation. Cytokinins have been found to be effective free radical scavengers. Peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) is among enzymes expressing antioxidative functions. The present study was focused on the effect of N6-benzyladenine (BA), and N1-(2-chloro-4-p...

An efficient genetically stable regeneration protocol with increased phytochemical production has been established for Dendrobium nobile, a highly prized orchid for its economic and medicinal importance. Protocorm like bodies (PLBs) were induced from the pseudostem segments using thidiazuron (TDZ; 1.5 mg/l), by-passing the conventional auxin-cytokinin complement approach for plant regeneration....

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is highly nutritious and protein rich legume crop; however, presence of ODAP (β-NOxalyl-L-α, β-diaminopropionic acid) has restricted its use for human and animal consumption. There is need for accelerated breeding of low or zero ODAP cultivars to ensure safer and wider use of grass pea through conventional and biotechnological approaches. The study investigated s...
