Given that JEDI–PDF genes are JA-inducible, this signaling molecule may also be important for the induction of basal defense against Hpa. No other studies on silencing or disruption of the JEDI–PDF genes have been reported on in the literature. Future studies will have to address this possibility. A set of RNAi transgenic lines was developed which can …

One possible explanation was that the experimental conditions varied between the assays for basal defense and DCA-mediated immunity. In contrast to the analysis of DCA-mediated immunity , there was no pre-treatment with compound or mock solution before being sprayed with pathogen in the basal defense assays . It was observed in other experiments that this type …
Several transcription factors were differentially expressed in this study. GO enrichment showed the molecular function GO term ‘DNA-binding transcription factor activity’ was significantly enriched. In addition to the MYB77 transcription factor gene described earlier, a GRAS transcription factor gene, HAM3, was DE in this study. GRAS transcription factors were previously found to play a role …
In their findings, as root biomass increased beyond a certain threshold it negatively impacted grain yields, perhaps due to increased costs of maintaining a large root system. This point appears worthy of detailed study as it may point to which root system traits will be beneficial in a given environment and how they might impact …

Cultivars Sonora, Foisy, and Chiddam Blanc de Mars were selected. The primary criterion was the total root biomass with Sonora ranked among the highest, Foisy was intermediate, and CBdeM had a low total root biomass. Additionally, the three also have other contrasting phenotypes for traits such as drought tolerance, plant height, days to heading, awn type, …

Food is a powerful frame through which to make the climate change problem more concrete and “close to home,” as it implies both a social and essential daily activity. The garden, meanwhile, provides a useful metaphor for the complex global climate system. The curriculum directly connects climate science to community and local action in the …
Civic engagement advances the idea of creating “public commons” through urban agriculture, an idea related to ecological economics and explored in David Bollier’s book Think Like a Commoner: A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons. A commons “integrates economic production, social cooperation, personal participation, and ethical idealism into a single package;” it is …

The program uses an “integrated systems approach” to delivering hands-on education in nutrition, ecology, sustainability, and land stewardship . In practice, this consists of educating students in a garden classroom elective for elementary and middle school, hosting a high school farm elective course where students visit local farms, and preparing and preserving food from the …
Transcriptomic and proteomic studies in Fe deficient plants have also reported increases in root transcript and protein abundances, respectively, of enzymes related to the glycolytic and TCA cycle pathways, among others. Iron deficiency also induces an accumulation of organic acids, mainly malate and citrate, in roots. The induction of C metabolism in roots of Fe-deficient plants …
In the absence of major decomposition pathways, PAHs are removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition, which is considered the major source of PAHs in soil . Although PAHs are considered amongst the most widespread organic pollutants in numerous environmental matrices such as soils, sediments, water, and wastewater, the ultimate sink of atmospheric …
