Jasmonates (JAs) regulate various stress responses and development processes in plants, and the JA pathway is tightly controlled. In this study, we report the functional characterization of two novel RING-type ubiquitin ligases, RING DOMAIN LIGASE3 (RGLG3) and RGLG4, in modulating JA signaling. Both RGLG3 and RGLG4 possessed ubiquitin ligase activities and were widely distributed in Arabidopsis...

The plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) plays a key role in the environmental stress responses and developmental processes of plants. Although ATMYC2/JASMONATE-INSENSITIVE1 (JIN1) is a major positive regulator of JA-inducible gene expression and essential for JA-dependent developmental processes in Arabidopsis thaliana, molecular mechanisms underlying the control of ATMYC2/JIN1 expression remain l...

Background & aim: Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is a perennial medicinal herb which belongs to Lamiales order and Lamiaceae family. This plant has economical value for four years. Nowadays the use of plant growth regulators (PGR) has an important role for increasing the secondary metabolites in plants. Among PGRs Jasmonic (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) have many applications in medicinal ...

System architecture, experimental settings and experimental results of the EHR group for the WAT2016 tasks are described. We participate in six tasks: en-ja, zh-ja, JPCzh-ja, JPCko-ja, HINDENen-hi and HINDENhi-ja. Although the basic architecture of our systems is PBSMT with reordering, several techniques are conducted. Especially, the system for the HINDENhi-ja task with pivoting by English use...

Jasmonate (JA) is a lipid-derived hormone that regulates diverse aspects of plant immunity and development. An amino acid-conjugated form of JA, jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile), stimulates binding of the F-box protein coronatine-insensitive 1 (COI1) to, and subsequent ubiquitin-dependent degradation of, jasmonate ZIM domain (JAZ) proteins that repress transcription of JA-responsive genes. The vir...

Induced resistance to the necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea depends on jasmonate metabolism and signalling in Arabidopsis. We have presented here extensive jasmonate profiling in this pathosystem and investigated the impact of the recently reported jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) catabolic pathway mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP94) enzymes. Using a series of mutant and overexpressing (OE) p...

Fungal elicitor prepared from the cell walls of Aspergillum niger induces multiple responses of Hypericum perforatum cells, including nitric oxide (NO) generation, jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis, and hypericin production. To determine the role of NO and JA in elicitor-induced hypericin production, we study the effects of NO scavenger 2- to 4-carboxyphenyl-4,4, 5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl...

background & aim: marigold or calendula officinalis l. is a annual herb belongs to the asteraceae family.  marigold is a valuable medicinal plant which is used in pharmaceutical industry.  in addition, this plant is cultivated as an ornamental plant. aim of current study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of jasmonic acid (ja), and salicylic acid (sa) on phytochemical pr...

The standard artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm involves exploration and exploitation processes which need to be balanced for enhanced performance. This paper proposes a new modified ABC algorithm named JA-ABC5 to enhance convergence speed and improve the ability to reach the global optimum by balancing exploration and exploitation processes. New stages have been proposed at the earlier stag...

* The cpr5-1 Arabidopsis thaliana mutant exhibits constitutive activation of salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) signalling pathways and displays enhanced tolerance of heat stress (HS). * cpr5-1 crossed with jar1-1 (a JA-amino acid synthetase) was compromised in basal thermotolerance, as were the mutants opr3 (mutated in OPDA reductase3) and coi1-1 (affected in an E3 ubiqu...
