@article{Yan2014, abstract = {Drought and high salinity are two major environmental factors that significantly limit the productivity of agricultural crops worldwide. WRKY transcription factors play essential roles in the adaptation of plants to abiotic stresses. However, WRKY genes involved in drought and salt tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) are largely unknown. Here, a group IId WRKY gene, GhWRKY17, was isolated and characterized. GhWRKY17 was found to be induced after exposure to drought, salt, H2O2 and ABA. The constitutive expression of GhWRKY17 in Nicotiana benthamiana remarkably reduced plant tolerance to drought and salt stress, as determined through physiological analyses of the germination rate, root growth, survival rate, leaf water loss and Chl content. GhWRKY17 transgenic plants were observed to be more sensitive to ABA-mediated seed germination and root growth. However, overexpressing GhWRKY17 in N. benthamiana impaired ABA-induced stomatal closure. Furthermore, we found that GhWRKY17 modulated the increased sensitivity of plants to drought by reducing the level of ABA, and transcript levels of ABA-inducible genes, including AREB, DREB, NCED, ERD and LEA, were clearly repressed under drought and salt stress conditions. Consistent with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced proline contents and enzyme activities, elevated electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde, and lower expression of ROS-scavenging genes, including APX, CAT and SOD, the GhWRKY17 transgenic plants exhibited reduced tolerance to oxidative stress compared with wild-type plants. These results therefore indicate that GhWRKY17 responds to drought and salt stress through ABA signaling and the regulation of cellular ROS production in plants.}, author = {Yan, Huiru and Jia, Haihong and Chen, Xiaobo and Hao, Lili and An, Hailong and Guo, Xingqi}, doi = {10.1093/pcp/pcu133}, file = {:D$\backslash$:/Referensi Publikasi - IJBiotech/Yan et al., 2014.pdf:pdf}, issn = {14719053}, journal = {Plant and Cell Physiology}, keywords = {ABA signaling,Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum),Drought and salt stress,ROS,WRKY transcription factor}, number = {12}, pages = {2060--2076}, title = {{The cotton WRKY transcription factor GhWRKY17 functions in drought and salt stress in transgenic nicotiana benthamiana through aba signaling and the modulation of reactive oxygen species production}}, volume = {55}, year = {2014} } @article{KementrianPerdagangan2016, author = {indonesian ministry of Agriculture, The}, file = {:D$\backslash$:/Referensi Publikasi - IJBiotech/The Indonesian Mnistry of Agriculture, 2015.pdf:pdf}, journal = {Indonesia Ministry of Agriculture}, keywords = {Afsari,Astri Ridha,Mudya Dewi,Yanuarti}, pages = {59}, title = {{Statistik Produksi Hortikultura 2014}}, year = {2015} } @article{Taylor2001, abstract = {Prominent models of face perception posit that the encoding of social categories begins after initial structural encoding has completed.

This study isolated a maize WRKY gene, ZmWRKY17, and characterized its role in tolerance to salt stress by generating transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Expression of the ZmWRKY17 was up-regulated by drought, salt and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments. ZmWRKY17 was localized in the nucleus with no transcriptional activation in yeast. Yeast one-hybrid assay showed that ZmWRKY17 can specifically bind to W-box, and it can activate W-box-dependent transcription in planta. Heterologous overexpression of ZmWRKY17 in Arabidopsis remarkably reduced plant tolerance to salt stress, as determined through physiological analyses of the cotyledons greening rate, root growth, relative electrical leakage and malondialdehyde content. Additionally, ZmWRKY17 transgenic plants showed decreased sensitivity to ABA during seed germination and early seedling growth. Transgenic plants accumulated higher content of ABA than wild-type (WT) plants under NaCl condition. Transcriptome and quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed that some stress-related genes in transgenic seedlings showed lower expression level than that in the WT when treated with NaCl.

Defense to herbivores and necrotrophic pathogens are mediated by JA. Other environmental cues mediated by JA are light, seasonal and circadian rhythms, cold stress, desiccation stress, salt stress and UV stress. During development growth inhibition of roots, shoots and leaves occur by JA, whereas seed germination and flower development are partially affected by its precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA).

Intercropping, the mixed growth of two or more crops, mycorrhization of plants, establishment of induced resistance, priming of plants for enhanced insect resistance as well as pre- and post-harvest application of JA are few examples. Additional sources for horticultural improvement, where JAs might be involved, are defense against nematodes, biocontrol by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, altered composition of rhizosphere bacterial community, sustained balance between growth and defense, and improved plant immunity in intercropping systems.

The results revealed that AR156 treatment significantly stimulated the transcription of WRKY70, but suppressed that of WRKY11 in Arabidopsis leaves. Furthermore, they were shown to be required for AR156 enhancing the activation of cellular defence responses and the transcription level of the plant defence response gene. Overexpression of the two transcription factors in Arabidopsis also showed that they were essential for AR156 to elicit ISR.

The target genes of the two transcription factors and epistasis analysis suggested that WRKY11 regulated AR156-triggered ISR through activating the JA signalling pathway, and WRKY70 regulated the ISR through activating the SA signalling pathway.

Further analysis found that WRKY53 regulated stomatal movement via reducing the H2O2 content and promoting the starch metabolism in guard cells. The results of quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR showed that the expression levels of CAT2, CAT3 and QQS were up-regulated in 53OV lines.

Exposure to drought stress for three weeks retarded the growth of non-inoculated control plants by significantly reducing shoot length, leaf area, chlorophyll content, flower number and pepper fruit yield. Conversely, the active association of endophyte with host-plants significantly increased these plant growth and yield parameters. The drought-induced oxidative stress was pronounced in control plants. This was revealed by the increased production of superoxide anions and reduced activities of peroxidase, catalase and polyphenol oxidase in control plants as compared to plants with endophytic-symbiosis. The capsaicin content in pepper fruit was significantly higher in endophyte-associated plants than control under drought. The capsaicin biosynthesis-related mRNA expressions of Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and Capsaicin synthase were two-fold higher in endophyte-infected plants than control under drought stress. Fungal endophytes increased host-plant growth and its yield during stress by activating the essential constituents of phenylpropanoid pathways. This indicates that increased synthesis of secondary metabolites can increase plant's abiotic stress tolerance. {\textcopyright} 2014.}, author = {Khan, Abdul Latif and Shin, Jae Ho and Jung, Hee Young and Lee, In Jung}, doi = {10.1016/j.scienta.2014.06.008}, file = {:D$\backslash$:/Referensi Publikasi - IJBiotech/Khan et al., 2014.pdf:pdf}, issn = {03044238}, journal = {Scientia Horticulturae}, keywords = {Biosynthesis oxidative stress,Capsaicin,Drought stress,Penicillium resedanum LK6}, pages = {167--173}, publisher = {Elsevier B.V.}, title = {{Regulations of capsaicin synthesis in Capsicum annuum L. by Penicillium resedanum LK6 during drought conditions}}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.scienta.2014.06.008}, volume = {175}, year = {2014} } @article{Lee1999, abstract = {Stomatal opening provides access to inner leaf tissues for many plant pathogens, so narrowing stomatal apertures may be advantageous for plant defense. We investigated how guard cells respond to elicitors that can be generated from cell walls of plants or pathogens during pathogen infection. The effect of oligogalacturonic acid (OGA), a degradation product of the plant cell wall, and chitosan ($\beta$-1,4-linked glucosamine), a component of the fungal cell wall, on stomatal movements were examined in leaf epidermis of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) and Commelina communis L. These elicitors reduced the size of the stomatal aperture. OGA not only inhibited light-induced stomatal opening, but also accelerated stomatal closing in both species; chitosan inhibited light-induced stomatal opening in tomato epidermis. The effects of OGA and chitosan were suppressed when EGTA, catalase, or ascorbic acid was present in the medium, suggesting that Ca2+ and H2O2 mediate the elicitor-induced decrease of stomatal apertures. We show that the H2O2 that is involved in this process is produced by guard cells in response to elicitors.

WRKY genes have been found to be responsive to abiotic stresses; however, their roles in abiotic stress tolerance are largely unknown especially in crops. Here, we identified stress-responsive WRKY genes from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and studied their functions in stress tolerance. Forty-three putative TaWRKY genes were identified and two multiple stress-induced genes, TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19, were further characterized. TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 are nuclear proteins, and displayed specific binding to typical cis-element W box. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing TaWRKY2 exhibited salt and drought tolerance compared with controls. Overexpression of TaWRKY19 conferred tolerance to salt, drought and freezing stresses in transgenic plants. TaWRKY2 enhanced expressions of STZ and RD29B, and bound to their promoters. TaWRKY19 activated expressions of DREB2A, RD29A, RD29B and Cor6.6, and bound to DREB2A and Cor6.6 promoters. The two TaWRKY proteins may regulate the downstream genes through direct binding to the gene promoter or via indirect mechanism. Manipulation of TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 in wheat or other crops should improve their performance under various abiotic stress conditions. WRKY-type transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of plant growth and development. Their roles in abiotic stress tolerance are largely unknown especially in crops. Here, we find that TaWRKY2 and TaWRKY19 from wheat play differential roles in abiotic stress tolerance through activation of different downstream genes. {\textcopyright} 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.}, author = {Niu, Can Fang and Wei, Wei and Zhou, Qi Yun and Tian, Ai Guo and Hao, Yu Jun and Zhang, Wan Ke and Ma, Biao and Lin, Qing and Zhang, Z.

Midday leaf water potentials of PRD and DI plants were lower by 0.15 and 0.30 MPa, respectively, than of CI plants from 130 days after sowing. Total fresh mass of fruit was reduced by 19 and 34.7{\%} in PRD and DI, respectively, compared to CI. Fruit number per plant was reduced by more than 20{\%} in PRD and DI compared to CI. Total dry mass of fruit was similar among the treatments. At harvest, DI fruit had 21{\%} higher total soluble solids concentration and better colour development than other treatments. Although incidence of blossom-end rot was high in PRD and DI fruit, more than 80{\%} of fruit from PRD was not affected. DI and PRD saved 170 and 164 l of water, respectively, compared to CI and they could be feasible irrigation strategies for hot pepper production where the benefit from saving water outweighs the decrease in total fresh mass of fruit. {\textcopyright} 2004 Elsevier B.V.

ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3) plays an essential role in the establishment of seed dormancy. Here, we show that the lack of a seed-expressed WRKY transcription factor, WRKY41, confers reduced primary seed dormancy and thermoinhibition, phenotypes resembling those for a lack of ABI3. Loss-of-function abi3-17 and wrky41 alleles also both confer reduced sensitivity to ABA during germination and early seedling growth. Absence of WRKY41 decreases ABI3 transcript abundance in maturing and imbibed seeds, whereas transgenically overexpressing WRKY41 increases ABI3 expression. Moreover, transgenic overexpression of ABI3 completely restores seed dormancy phenotypes on wrky41. ChIP-qPCR and EMSA reveal that WRKY41 binds directly to the ABI3 promoter through three adjacent W-boxes, and a transactivation assay indicates that these W-boxes are essential for ABI3 expression. Whilst RT-qPCR analysis shows that the regulation of ABI3 by WRKY41 is not through ABA and other factors known to promote ABI3 transcription during seed maturation and germination, we also show that high concentrations of ABA might promote negative feedback regulation of WRKY41 expression. Finally, analysis of the wrky41 aba2 double mutant confirms that WRKY41 and ABA collaboratively regulate ABI3 expression and seed dormancy. In summary, our results demonstrate that WRKY41 is an important regulator of ABI3 expression, and hence of seed dormancy. {\textcopyright} 2014 The Authors The Plant Journal {\textcopyright} 2014 John Wiley {\&} Sons Ltd.}, author = {Ding, Zhong Jie and Yan, Jing Ying and Li, Gui Xin and Wu, Zhong Chang and Zhang, Shu Qun and Zheng, Shao Jian}, doi = {10.1111/tpj.12597}, file = {:D$\backslash$:/Referensi Publikasi - IJBiotech/Ding et al., 2014.pdf:pdf}, issn = {1365313X}, journal = {Plant Journal}, keywords = {Abscisic acid,Arabidopsis thaliana,Seed dormancy,Transcription factor,WRKY}, number = {5}, pages = {810--823}, title = {{WRKY41 controls Arabidopsis seed dormancy via direct regulation of ABI3 transcript levels not downstream of ABA}}, volume = {79}, year = {2014} } @article{Esyanti2019, abstract = {Phytophthora capsici is one of the primary pathogens causing a global problem of severe losses in chilli production. The use of conventional fertilisers and fungicides to improve chilli production had been shown to elevate environmental and health issues. Hence, the foliar application of chitosan, natural deacylated chitin, to enhance growth and resistance in chilli pepper plants was investigated. The chilli plants were grown for 14 days before receiving chitosan application and 33 days before Phytophthora infection, physiological parameters were recorded during the growth period, and expression of resistance related genes was quantified at 72 hours after infection. Our results showed that physiological parameters, such as increment of height and leaves number, and chlorophyll content indicated an improved growth process in chitosan treated plants compared to the control. Plant resistance to Phytophthora infection was also investigated following chitosan application to highly (CM334), moderately (LABA), weakly (LADO) resistant and susceptible (15080) cultivars. The disease incidence and severity indices were reduced in chitosan-treated plants, except in highly and moderately resistant cultivars. Further, expression was also quantified for defence-related genes, including 9-lipoxygenase (CaLOX), Ca2+-bound calmodulin 1 (CaCaM1), receptor-like cytoplasmic protein kinase (CaPIK), Pto-interacting1 (CaPTI1) and resistance gene analogue 2 (CaRGA2). The results suggest that CaLOX, CaPTI1 and CaRGA2 genes were involved in defence mechanism to Phytophthora, with increased expression during infection. However, expression levels were reduced when Phytophthora infection was coupled with foliar chitosan application, indicating that chitosan may play a direct role in decreasing the pathogenicity of Phytophthora.

The data here reported show that CHT-induced antitranspirant activity in bean plants is mediated by ABA, whose level raised over threefold in treated leaves, 24 h after foliar spraying. This is thought to induce partial stomatal closure via a H2O2-mediated process, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histo-cytochemistry, and, in turn, a decrease of stomatal conductance to water vapor (Gw) and transpiration rate (E), assessed by gas exchange measurements. The relatively high internal CO2 concentration (Ci) values, suggest the occurrence of a slight decrease in carboxylation efficiency after CHT treatment, which however did not prevail over stomatal limitations. The intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) of CHT treated plants was not statistically different from controls and the maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) of PSII was not affected. Moreover, CHT determined a stimulation of the xanthophyll cycle towards de-epoxidation state. On the whole, these results, besides confirming the effectiveness of CHT in reducing plant transpiration, prove that the mechanism underlying this activity differs from that showed by the commercial antitranspirant Vapor Gard{\textregistered} (VP). In fact, the efficacy of the latter is based on the formation of a thin antitranspirant film over the leaf and not on the reduction of stomatal opening. Finally, suggestions for possible use of the two antitranspirants in different environmental conditions are discussed. {\textcopyright} 2009 Elsevier B.V.
