Commercially improved crop performance under drought conditions has been challenging
because of the complexity of the trait and the multitude of factors that influence yield. Here we …

The Anther ear1 (An1) gene product is involved in the synthesis of ent-kaurene, the first
tetracyclic intermediate in the gibberellin (GA) biosynthetic pathway. Mutations causing the loss …

Limited available water is the single most important factor that reduces global crop yields,
with far reaching socioeconomic implications. In North America alone, it is estimated that 40% …

Roots often continue to elongate while shoot growth is inhibited in plants subjected to low-water
potentials. The cause of this differential response to water deficit was investigated. We …

Soybean seedlings (Glycine max L.) were germinated and dark-grown in water-saturated
vermiculite (water potential = −0.01 megapascal) for 48 hours, then transferred either to water-…

Background Fracture represents the single most important clinical event in patients with
osteoporosis, yet remains under-predicted. As few premonitory symptoms for fracture exist, it is …

Four gibberellins, GA 53 , GA 19 , GA 20 , and GA 1 , were detected by bioassay,
chromatography in two HPLC systems, and combined gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy-…

Objective. Previous studies combining biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD)
to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have shown an increased risk of infection. However, …

There is increasing interest in understanding how trait networks can be manipulated to improve
the performance of crop species. Working towards this goal, we have identified key traits …

Efforts to increase glycinebetaine (GB) levels in plants have been pursued as an approach
to improving plant performance under stress conditions. To date, the impact of engineered …
