A small knottin-like peptide negatively regulates in wheat to stripe rust resistance during early infection of wheat

Although Blufensins (Bln) have important functions in the response of plants to biotic stress the precise functioning of Bln in wheat remains largely unknown.Here we isolated a Bln gene (TaBln4) from Suwon 11 infected by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst).Expression of TaBln4 increased in host plants at the early stage of infection with a viru

Integrated Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals an Essential Role for Auxin in Hypocotyl Elongation during End-of-Day Far-Red Treatment of Cucurbita moschata (Duch. Ex Lam.)

Long, Fiber robust hypocotyls are important for facilitating greenhouse transplant production.The use of far-red light at the end of the day (end-of-day far-red, EOD-FR) is known to prompt hypocotyl elongation, but the mechanism of EOD-FR-mediated hypocotyl elongation in pumpkin remains unclear.Here, we found that hypocotyl length, parenchymal cell
