Action Spectrum for Cryptochrome-Dependent Hypocotyl Growth Inhibition in Arabidopsis1

Cryptochrome blue-light photoreceptors are found in both plants and animals and have been implicated in numerous developmental and circadian signaling pathways. Nevertheless, no action spectrum for a physiological response shown to be entirely under the control of cryptochrome has been reported. In this work, an action spectrum was determined in vivo for a cryptochrome-mediated high-irradiance respo...

Phytochrome-Mediated Inhibition of Coleoptile Growth in Rice: Age-dependency and Action Spectra[dagger]
Photochemistry and Photobiology ; ABSTRACT Phytochrome has been shown to be the major photoreceptor involved in the photo-inhibition of coleoptile growth in Japonica-type rice (Oryza sativa L We have characterized this typical photomorphogenetic response of rice using mutants deficient in phytochrome A (phyA) and phytochrome B
Short-Term Growth Responses to Ethylene in Arabidopsis Seedlings Are EIN3/EIL1 Independent1
Plant Physiology ; Kinetic studies indicate there are two phases to growth inhibition by ethylene for the hypocotyls of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings. Phase I is transient, while phase II results in sustained growth inhibition. The EIN2 membrane protein is required for both the first and second phases of growth

Primary Inhibition of Hypocotyl Growth and Phototropisrn Depend Differently on Phototropin-Mediated Increases in Cytoplasmic Calcium Induced by Blue Light1
Plant Physiology ; The phototropin photoreceptors transduce blue-light signals into several physiological and developmental responses in plants. A transient rise in cytoplasmic calcium (Ca^sup 2 that begins within seconds of phototropin 1 (photl) excitation is believed to be an important element in the transduction

Ethylene Stimulates Nutations That Are Dependent on the ETR1 Receptor1[W][OA]
Plant Physiology ; Ethylene influences a number of processes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) through the action of five receptors. In this study, we used high-resolution, time-lapse imaging to examine the long-term effects of ethylene on growing, etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings. These measurements revealed that
Effects of water and sediment extracts from watersheds near the Monsanto plant (Anniston, AL) on early embryonic development of the frog, xenopus laevis.(Biological Sciences)(Brief Article)
Journal of the Alabama Academy of Science ; The Monsanto/Solutia plant in Anniston, AL, is of environmental and public health concern due to soil and watershed contamination by PCB-laden runoff from on-site landfills. We analyzed water samples and aqueous sediment extracts from three PCB-contaminated study sites ranging from 1 - 30 km from
Sensitivity of Biologically Active UV Radiation to Stratospheric Ozone Changes: Effects of Action Spectrum Shape and Wavelength Range¶
Photochemistry and Photobiology ; ABSTRACT Biological action spectra are commonly used to assess health and ecosystem responses to increases in spectral ultraviolet (UV) irradiances resulting from stratospheric ozone (O^sub 3^) reductions. For each action spectrum, a normalized sensitivity coefficient (the radiation amplification
Arabidopsis Seedling Growth Response and Recovery to Ethylene. A Kinetic Analysis1
Plant Physiology ; Responses to the plant hormone ethylene are mediated by a family of five receptors in Arabidopsis that act in the absence of ethylene as negative regulators of response pathways. In this study, we examined the rapid kinetics of growth inhibition by ethylene and growth recovery after ethylene
