gibberellic acid/담배속

Stem applications of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or gibberellic acid (GA) did not prevent or alter tumor or teratoma formation in debudded tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L., var. One Sucker). The materials produced intense (in case of GA) and moderate (in case of IAA) stem proliferations when

BACKGROUND The Gibberellic Acid (GA) signal is governed by the GAI (Gibberellic Acid Insensitive) repressor, which is characterized by a highly conserved N-terminal DELLA domain. Deletion of the DELLA domain results in constitutive suppression of GA signaling. As the GAI transcript is transportable

The transcription factors C-repeat binding factors/dehydration-responsive element binding proteins (CBFs/DREBs) control the expression of many stress-inducible genes in Arabidopsis. A cDNA clone, designated GhDREB1, was isolated from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) by cDNA library screening. Northern

To determine the physiological function of GhGA20ox1, a homologous gene of GA 20-oxidase from elongating cotton fibers, we expressed this gene ectopically in Nicotiana benthamiana. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis showed that the GhGA20ox1 gene was expressed in the transgenic plants at various

Brassinazole is the only known specific brassinosteroid (BR)-biosynthesis inhibitor, and it has been shown to be useful for elucidating the function of BRs. In the course of a structure-activity relationship study of brassinazole, we found a more specific BR-biosynthesis inhibitor, Brz2001. This new

BACKGROUND The serine-threonine protein kinase gene, designated pkv (protein kinase- viroid induced) was previously found to be transcriptionally activated in tomato plants infected with the plant pathogen Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). These plants exhibited symptoms of stunting, and abnormal

The transport of serine into tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cultured in liquid medium was examined. Transport was inhibited approximately 50% by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, indoleacetic acid, alpha-naphthalene acetic acid, and kinetin at a concentration of 10 micrograms per milliliter.

Tobacco stress-induced1 (Tsi1) is an ethylene-responsive-element binding protein/APETALA2-type transcription factor that plays an important role in both biotic and abiotic stress signaling pathways. We show that Tsi1-interacting protein1 (Tsip1), a DnaJ-type Zn finger protein, interacts with Tsi1 in

Initiation and growth of leaf blades is oriented by an adaxial/abaxial axis aligned with the original axis of polarity in the leaf primordium. To investigate mechanisms regulating this process, we cloned the Nicotiana tabacum ortholog of PHANTASTICA (NTPHAN) and generated a series of antisense

Three plant-growth retardants 2'-isopropy1-4'-(trimethylammonium chloride)-5-methylphenylpiperidine carboxylate (Amo 1618), beta-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride, and tributyl-2, 4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride were tested for their effects on sterol production in, and growth of tobacco

The formation of flowers has been studied in stem tissue excised from flowering plants of Nicotiana tabacum variety Wisconsin No. 38, and cultured in vitro on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium. A procedure for quantitative evaluation of factors influencing floral expression has been developed and

The rolA gene of the TL-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes Ri-plasmid plays a major role in establishing the hairy root syndrome in transgenic plants. Transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) expressing constitutively the rolA gene under the transcriptional control of the 35S RNA promoter show

In this study, an algal Cyp was introduced into plant to research the effect of the gene on growth and development. cDNA GjCyp-1 was isolated from the red alga (Griffithsia japonica), and a recombinant GjCyp-1 containing a CaMV35S promoter at the amino-terminus was constructed in Nicotiana tabacum.

We cloned a cDNA for a gibberellin-induced ribonuclease (RNase) expressed in barley (Hordeum vulgare) aleurone and the gene for a second barley RNase expressed in leaf tissue. The protein encoded by the cDNA is unique among RNases described to date in that it contains a novel 23-amino acid insert
