Impacts of iron on phosphate starvation-induced root hair growth in Arabidopsis.

In Arabidopsis, phosphate starvation (-Pi)-induced responses of primary root and lateral root growth are documented to be correlated with ambient iron (Fe) status. However, whether and how Fe participates in -Pi-induced root hair growth (RHG) remains unclear. Here, responses of RHG to different Fe concentrations under Pi sufficiency/deficiency were verified.

Physiological and proteomic dissection of the rice roots in response to iron deficiency and excess.

Iron (Fe) disorder is a pivotal factor that limits rice yields in many parts of the world. Extensive research has been devoted to studying how rice molecularly copes with the stresses of Fe deficiency or excess. However, a comprehensive dissection of the whole Fe-responsive atlas at the protein level is still lacking.

A proteomic analysis of Arabidopsis ribosomal phosphoprotein P1A mutant.

Ribosomal proteins are involved in the regulation of plant growth and development. However, the regulatory processes of most ribosomal proteins remain unclear. In this study, Arabidopsis plants with the mutation in ribosomal phosphoprotein P1A (RPP1A) produce larger and heavier seeds than wild-type plants.

PERK13 modulates phosphate deficiency-induced root hair elongation in Arabidopsis.

Phosphate starvation (-Pi)-induced root hair is crucial for enhancing plants' Pi absorption. Proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinase 13 (PERK13) is transcriptionally induced by -Pi and co-expressed with genes associated with root hair growth. However, how PERK13 participates in -Pi-induced root hair growth remains unclear.

Proteomic dissection of the similar and different responses of wheat to drought, salinity and submergence during seed germination.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major crops worldwide and its production is inevitably subjected to various biotic/abiotic stresses during the life cycle. Drought, salinity and flooding are among the most severe abiotic stresses restricting wheat yields and could occur at very early stages such as seed germination.

Genes of ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN Family Show Different Expression Profiles and Overexpression of ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN 5 Modulates Fatty Acid Composition and Enhances Salt Stress Tolerance in .

Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are a group of small acidic proteins functioning as important cofactors in the synthesis of fatty acids. In , ACPs are encoded by a small gene family comprising five plastid members, to , and three mitochondrial members. The biological functions and the transcriptional responses to abiotic stresses of most AtACPs have yet to be elucidated.
