Background Amaranthus hypochondriacus, a grain amaranth, is a C4 plant noted by its
ability to tolerate stressful conditions and produce highly nutritious seeds. These possess an …

Grain amaranth is an emerging crop that produces seeds having high quality protein with
balanced amino-acid content. However, production is restricted by agronomic limitations that …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from plants in response to insect infestation
can function as signals for the attraction of predatory/parasitic insects and/or repulsion of …

Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y), is a plant heterotrimeric transcription factor constituted by NF-YA,
NF-YB and NF-YC subunits. The function of many NF-Y subunits, mostly of the A and B type, …

La sistemina (s) y el acido jasmónico (AJ) juegan un papel central en la respuesta al daño
en tomate (Solanum lycopersicum). El AJ es también conocido como un regulador de la …

Main conclusion An amaranth DGR gene, induced under abiotic stress, modifies cell wall
structure and causes hypersensitivity to ABA and salt when overexpressed in Arabidopsis. …

Amaranthus hypochondriacus is a C 4 pseudocereal crop capable of producing reasonable
grain yields in adverse environmental conditions that limit cereal performance. It …

Two grain amaranth transcription factor (TF) genes were overexpressed in Arabidopsis
plants. The first, coding for a group VII ethylene response factor TF (ie, AhERF-VII) conferred …

Heat stress is poised to become a major factor negatively affecting plant performance
worldwide. In terms of world food security, increased ambient temperatures are poised to reduce …

A digestive proteinase was isolated from larval extracts of Tribolium castaneum. The enzyme
was partially purified using gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. It is an acidic …
