Guard cell and whole plant expression of AtTOR improves performance under drought and enhances water use efficiency Open
Water use efficiency is an important target for breeding of improved drought resistance. Minimizing leaf transpirational water loss plays a key role in drought resistance. But this reduces CO2 levels in leaves, which often reduces photosyn…

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9-generated diallelic mutants reveal Arabidopsis actin-related protein 2 function in the trafficking of syntaxin PEN1 Open
In plants, the actin cytoskeleton plays a critical role in defense against diverse pathogens. The formation of actin patches is essential for the intracellular transport of organelles and molecules toward pathogen penetration sites and the…
View article: TpIRT1 is a transition metal transporter in Polish Wheat (Triticum polonicum L.) with a broad substrate specificity
TpIRT1 is a transition metal transporter in Polish Wheat (Triticum polonicum L.) with a broad substrate specificity Open
Uptake and internal transport of micronutrients are essential for plant growth, development, and yield. In this regard, Iron Regulated Transporters (IRTs) from the ZIP (Zinc-regulated, iron-regulated transporter-like proteins) family play …
View article: TpIRT1 is a transition metal transporter in Polish Wheat (Triticum polonicum L.) with a broad substrate specificity
TpIRT1 is a transition metal transporter in Polish Wheat (Triticum polonicum L.) with a broad substrate specificity Open
Aims (1) Explore the metal substrate specificity of homologous TpIRT1A and TpIRT1B transporters from dwarf Polish wheat by expressing them in protoplast, yeast, and transgenic Arabidopsis ; (2) screen polymorphic residues of IRT1 homologs …
