CqHKT1 and CqSOS1 mediate genotype-dependent Na+ exclusion under high salinity conditions in quinoa Open
Salinity threatens crop production worldwide, and salinized areas are steadily increasing. As most crops are sensitive to salt, there is a need to improve the salt tolerance of major crops and promote the cultivation of under-utilized salt…

Evidence for the replication of a plant rhabdovirus in its arthropod mite vector Open
Transmission of plant viruses that replicate in the insect vector is known as persistent-propagative manner. However, it remains unclear whether such virus-vector relationships also occur between plant viruses and other biological vectors …

Arabidopsis DREB26/ERF12 and its close relatives regulate cuticular wax biosynthesis under drought stress condition Open
SUMMARY Land plants have evolved a hydrophobic cuticle on the surface of aerial organs as an adaptation to ensure survival in terrestrial environments. Cuticle is mainly composed of lipids, namely cutin and intracuticular wax, with epicuti…

STOP1‐regulated <i>SMALL AUXIN UP RNA55</i> (<i>SAUR55</i>) is involved in proton/malate co‐secretion for Al tolerance in Arabidopsis Open
Proton (H + ) release is linked to aluminum (Al)‐enhanced organic acids (OAs) excretion from the roots under Al rhizotoxicity in plants. It is well‐reported that the Al‐enhanced organic acid excretion mechanism is regulated by SENSITIVE TO…

Discovery and Genome Characterization of a Closterovirus from Wheat Plants with Yellowing Leaf Symptoms in Japan Open
Many aphid-borne viruses are important pathogens that affect wheat crops worldwide. An aphid-transmitted closterovirus named wheat yellow leaf virus (WYLV) was found to have infected wheat plants in Japan in the 1970s; however, since then,…

Integrating a Manual Pipette into a Collaborative Robot Manipulator for Flexible Liquid Dispensing Open
This paper presents a system integration approach for a 6-DoF (Degree of Freedom) collaborative robot to operate a pipette for liquid dispensing. Its technical development is threefold. First, we designed an end-effector for holding and tr…

Inter‐tissue and inter‐organ signaling in drought stress response and phenotyping of drought tolerance Open
SUMMARY Plant response to drought stress includes systems for intracellular regulation of gene expression and signaling, as well as inter‐tissue and inter‐organ signaling, which helps entire plants acquire stress resistance. Plants sense w…

Identification of a Novel Quinvirus in the Family Betaflexiviridae That Infects Winter Wheat Open
Yellow mosaic disease in winter wheat is usually attributed to the infection by bymoviruses or furoviruses; however, there is still limited information on whether other viral agents are also associated with this disease. To investigate the…

CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis of OsERA1 confers enhanced responses to abscisic acid and drought stress and increased primary root growth under nonstressed conditions in rice Open
Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling components play an important role in the drought stress response in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana ENHANCED RESPONSE TO ABA1 ( ERA1 ) encodes the β-subunit of farnesyltransferase and regulates ABA signaling and …

The genotype-dependent phenotypic landscape of quinoa in salt tolerance and key growth traits Open
Cultivation of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), an annual pseudocereal crop that originated in the Andes, is spreading globally. Because quinoa is highly nutritious and resistant to multiple abiotic stresses, it is emerging as a valuable crop …
