PHYTOREMEDIATIONAnnual Reviews - Tập 49 Số 1 - Trang 643-668 - 1998
David E. Salt, Richard Smith, Ilya Raskin
▪ Abstract Contaminated soils and waters pose a major environmental and human health problem, which may be partially solved by the emerging phytoremediation technology. This cost-effective plant-based approach to remediation takes advantage of the remarkable ability of plants to concentrate elements and compounds from the environment and to metabolize various molecules in their tissues. ...... hiện toàn bộ
ABSCISIC ACID SIGNAL TRANSDUCTIONAnnual Reviews - Tập 49 Số 1 - Trang 199-222 - 1998
Jeffrey Leung, Jérôme Giraudat
▪ Abstract The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a major role in seed maturation and germination, as well as in adaptation to abiotic environmental stresses. ABA promotes stomatal closure by rapidly altering ion fluxes in guard cells. Other ABA actions involve modifications of gene expression, and the analysis of ABA-responsive promoters has revealed a diversity of potential cis-act...... hiện toàn bộ
GUARDCELLSIGNALTRANSDUCTIONAnnual Reviews - Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 627-658 - 2001
Julian I. Schroeder, Gethyn J. Allen, Véronique Hugouvieux, June M. Kwak, David Waner
▪ Abstract Guard cells surround stomatal pores in the epidermis of plant leaves and stems. Stomatal pore opening is essential for CO2influx into leaves for photosynthetic carbon fixation. In exchange, plants lose over 95% of their water via transpiration to the atmosphere. Signal transduction mechanisms in guard cells integrate hormonal stimuli, light signals, water s...... hiện toàn bộ
PLANT TRANSFORMATION: Problems and Strategies for Practical ApplicationAnnual Reviews - Tập 48 Số 1 - Trang 297-326 - 1997
Robert G. Birch
▪ Abstract Plant transformation is now a core research tool in plant biology and a practical tool for cultivar improvement. There are verified methods for stable introduction of novel genes into the nuclear genomes of over 120 diverse plant species. This review examines the criteria to verify plant transformation; the biological and practical requirements for transformation systems; the ...... hiện toàn bộ
LIGHT CONTROL OF SEEDLING DEVELOPMENTAnnual Reviews - Tập 47 Số 1 - Trang 215-243 - 1996
Albrecht G. von Arnim, Xing-Wang Deng
▪ Abstract Light control of plant development is most dramatically illustrated by seedling development. Seedling development patterns under light (photomorphogenesis) are distinct from those in darkness (skotomorphogenesis or etiolation) with respect to gene expression, cellular and subcellular differentiation, and organ morphology. A complex network of molecular interactions couples the...... hiện toàn bộ
