METHODS FOR MODULATING PLANT RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTALLY-INDUCED STRESS
Publication number: 20180360043Abstract: Compounds and methods are described herein that are effective to modulate plant response (e.g., plant susceptibility) to environmentally-induced stress. The compounds and methods described herein advantageously may be used to modulate environmental stress resistance in a wide variety of plants. Environmental stresses include, for example, high light intensity (UV exposure), temperature (e.g., high heat), high soil salinity, and low soil moisture (e.g., drought). As used herein, environmental stresses include any conditions that result in increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accumulation of ROS in the plant cells. The compounds described herein that are effective to modulate resistance to the stress prevent, directly or indirectly, or increase phosphorylation of Tyr248 of the RACK1A protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Sivanesan Dakshanamurthy, Hemayet Ullah

Publication number: 20040187176Abstract: The invention provides methods for improving plant agronomic traits by altering the expression or activity of plant G-protein alpha and beta subunits that are GPA1 or AGB1 orthologs. The invention also provides such transgenic plants with improved agronomic traits. One embodiment of the invention includes methods for modulating the expression or activity of a plant G-protein beta subunit that is an AGB1 ortholog to alter one or more of the following: the time to reach and duration of flowering, fruit yield, root biomass, seed size, seed shape, plant size, and the number of stem branches. The present invention also encompasses methods for modulating the expression or activity of a plant G-protein alpha subunit that is a GPA1 ortholog to alter one or more of the following: the duration of flowering, fruit and seed yield, plant size, seed size, and seed shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2003Publication date: September 23, 2004Inventors: Douglas Boyes, Keith Davis, Alan Jones, Hemayet Ullah, Jin-Gui Chen, Rao Mulpuri, Ani Chatterjee, Mary P.
