The plant Plumbago zeylanica is native in Southeast Asia and is growing in Africa, too. It is a branched evergreen shrub reaching up to 2 meters. Leaves are dark-green, ovate 30 cm long and 15 cm wide. The flowers are white in dense racemes, individuals around 1cm across, flowering all the year long. In Europe Plumbago capensis is cultivated as an ornamental shrub with blue flowers. It was feat...

OVATE gene was first identified as a key regulator of fruit shape in tomato. OVATE family proteins (OFPs) are characterized as plant-specific transcription factors and conserved in Arabidopsis, tomato, and rice. Roles of OFPs involved in plant development and growth are largely unknown. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of steroid hormones involved in diverse biological functions. OsGKS2 plays...

OVATE family proteins (OFPs) are plant-specific with a conserved domain that regulate plant growth and development. Although OFPs have been studied in several species, their biological functions remain largely unknown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). This study identified 19 CsOFPs distributed on seven chromosomes cucumber. Most CsOFP genes were expressed reproductive organs, but different expres...

Large areas of cultivated land in China, Japan and Thailand have been contaminated with lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) to the extent that demonstrable effects on human health have been reported. The extent of contamination virtually prohibits either removal of soils or agricultural utilization. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to extract toxic metals from soils, is one of the only via...
