The SWEET gene family in - its evolution and expression compared with four other plant species.

SWEET proteins play an indispensable role as a sugar efflux transporter in plant development and stress responses. The genes have previously been characterized in several plants. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of this gene family in the rubber tree, .

The calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) and CDPK-related kinase gene families in -comparison with five other plant species in structure, evolution, and expression.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs or CPKs) play important roles in various physiological processes of plants, including growth and development, stress responses and hormone signaling. Although the CDPK gene family has been characterized in several model plants, little is known about this gene family in (the Para rubber tree). Here, we characterize the entire CDPK and CDPK-related kinase (CRK) gene families comprising 30 genes ( to ) and nine genes ( to ).

The heme oxygenase/carbon monoxide system is involved in the auxin-induced cucumber adventitious rooting process.

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an important regulator of adventitious rooting via the activation of complex signaling cascades. In animals, carbon monoxide (CO), mainly generated by heme oxygenases (HOs), is a significant modulator of inflammatory reactions, affecting cell proliferation and the production of growth factors. In this report, we show that treatment with the auxin transport inhibitor naphthylphthalamic acid prevented auxin-mediated induction of adventitious rooting and also decreased the activity of HO and its by-product CO content.
