Silicon induces resistance to the brown spot fungus Cochliobolus miyabeanus by preventing the pathogen from hijacking the rice ethylene pathway.
New Phytol. 206(2) , 761-73, (2015) Although numerous studies have shown the ability of silicon (Si) to mitigate a wide variety of abiotic and biotic stresses, relatively little is known about the underlying mechanism(s). Here, we have investigated the role of hormone defense pathways in Si-ind... |

Ethylene production is associated with alleviation of cadmium-induced oxidative stress by sulfur in mustard types differing in ethylene sensitivity.
Ecotoxicol. Environ. Saf. 106 , 54-61, (2014) We studied the response of ethylene-sensitive (Pusa Jai Kisan) and ethylene-insensitive (SS2) mustard (Brassica juncea) cultivars to 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM SO₄(2-), and the effect of 1.0 mM SO₄(2-) was studied in the amelioration of 50 µM cadmium (Cd). The Cd... |

Caterpillar attack triggers accumulation of the toxic maize protein RIP2.
New Phytol. 201(3) , 928-39, (2014) Some plant-derived anti-herbivore defensive proteins are induced by insect feeding, resist digestion in the caterpillar gut and are eliminated in the frass. We have identified several maize proteins in fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) frass that potentia... |

Screening for resistance against Pseudomonas syringae in rice-FOX Arabidopsis lines identified a putative receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase gene that confers resistance to major bacterial and fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis and rice.
Plant Biotechnol. J. 9(4) , 466-85, (2011) Approximately 20,000 of the rice-FOX Arabidopsis transgenic lines, which overexpress 13,000 rice full-length cDNAs at random in Arabidopsis, were screened for bacterial disease resistance by dip inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3... |

[The effect of physiologically active compounds on the production of ethylene and the activity of polygalacturonase inhibiting protein in fruits].
Prikl. Biokhim. Mikrobiol. 47(2) , 201-8, (2011) The treatment of apple and banana fruits with 2-CEFA and ethacyde induced the production of ethylene and accelerated the ripening and accumulation of ACC in apple fruits. Inhibitors AOA, AVG, and CoCl2 acted at the different steps of ethylene biosynthesis, in... |

Role of ethylene in alleviation of cadmium-induced photosynthetic capacity inhibition by sulphur in mustard.
Plant Cell Environ. 35(3) , 524-33, (2012) Sulphur (S) assimilation leads to the formation of glutathione (GSH) and alleviation of cadmium (Cd) stress. GSH is synthesized from its immediate metabolite cysteine, which also serves as a metabolite for ethylene formation through S-adenosyl methionine. To ... |

Suppression of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase, which encodes a key enzyme in abscisic acid biosynthesis, alters fruit texture in transgenic tomato.
Plant Physiol. 158(1) , 283-98, (2012) Cell wall catabolism during fruit ripening is under complex control and is key for fruit quality and shelf life. To examine the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening, we suppressed SlNCED1, which encodes 9-cis-epoxycarote... |

Emerging roots alter epidermal cell fate through mechanical and reactive oxygen species signaling.
Plant Cell 24(8) , 3296-306, (2012) A central question in biology is how spatial information is conveyed to locally establish a developmental program. Rice (Oryza sativa) can survive flash floods by the emergence of adventitious roots from the stem. Epidermal cells that overlie adventitious roo... |

MYC genes with differential responses to tapping, mechanical wounding, ethrel and methyl jasmonate in laticifers of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.).
J. Plant Physiol. 168(14) , 1649-58, (2011) MYC2 transcription factor is a key component of the core module COI1-JAZ-MYC2 of jasmonate signaling in Arabidopsis, but the MYC transcription factor (s) associated with jasmonate signaling in jasmonate-responsive laticifer cells remains to be identified. Two... |

Newly observed spontaneous activation of ethephon as a butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor.
Chem. Res. Toxicol. 26(3) , 422-31, (2013) The plant growth regulator ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) inhibits human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) by making a covalent adduct on the active site serine 198. Our goal was to extend earlier studies on ethephon inhibition. Addition of freshly prepar... |
