As the key regulators of cell wall extension during plant growth, expansins play an important role in regulating the development and response of plants to adverse environment. The characteristics of expansins in wheat coleoptiles and their responses to water stress were studied. Expansin proteins were extracted from wheat coleoptiles by the methods of Hepes or SDS. The activities of expansins were measured with an improved extensometer and the amount of expansins was measured by immunoblot analysis with the expansin antibody. The results showed that in coleoptiles, the extension of native cell walls depended on acidic pH, and the expansins were found to be located at cell walls by location analysis. Expansins from wheat coleoptiles could induce cell wall extension both of cucumber hypocotyls and coleoptiles, and vice versa, albeit with differences noted in extension activity. The changes in activity and abundance of expansins in wheat coleoptiles in response to water stress suggest that expansins may play a significant role in the tolerance of wheat plants to water stress.

Background: Innovation in crop establishment is crucial for wheat productivity in drought-prone climates. Seedling establishment, the first stage of crop productivity, relies heavily on root and coleoptile system architecture for effective soil water and nutrient acquisition, particularly in regions practicing deep planting. Root phenotyping methods that quickly determine coleoptile lengths are vital for breeding studies.

In this work, several imidazo[1,2-]pyridines were synthesized through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three-component reaction (GBB-3CR), and their phytotoxicity was evaluated by the influence on the growth of wheat coleoptiles and three important agricultural seeds (, , and ) at test concentrations of 1000, 300, 100, 30, and 10 μM. A structure-activity relationship was established, showing the importance of halogen groups at the position of the attached aromatic ring and the presence of a cyclohexylamine group for greater activity. Post-modification of some GBB-3CR adducts was carried out, leading to imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-tetrazole hybrids, which were also evaluated in these bioassays.

Article Synopsis
- Wheat coleoptile length is crucial for seedling establishment and yield, especially in arid regions where deeper sowing can be beneficial.
- A genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a 660 K SNP array identified 353 significant SNPs and 23 core QTLs that regulate coleoptile length in 150 wheat varieties.
- The study pinpointed two candidate genes and established potential KASP markers to aid in future breeding efforts for improving coleoptile length in wheat.
