Drought and exogenous abscisic acid alter hydrogen peroxide accumulation and diferentially regulate the expression of two maize RD22-like genes
Phillips, Kyle; Ludidi, Ndiko (Nature Research, 2017)Increased biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA) occurs in plants in response to water defcit, which is mediated by changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species such as H2O2. Water defcit and ABA induce expression of ... -
Inhibition of NOS- like activity in maize alters the expression of genes involved in H2O2 scavenging and glycine betaine biosynthesis
Phillips, Kyle; Majola, Anelisa; Gokul, Arun; Keyster, Marshall; Ludidi, Ndiko; Egbichi, Ifeanyi (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Nitric oxide synthase-like activity contributes to the production of nitric oxide in plants, which controls plant responses to stress. This study investigates if changes in ascorbate peroxidase enzymatic activity and ... -
Water deficit-induced changes in phenolic acid content in maize leaves is associated with altered expression of cinnamate 4-hydroxylase and p-coumaric acid 3-hydroxylase
Kolo, Zintle; Majola, Anelisa; Phillips, Kyle (MDPI, 2023)The amino acid phenylalanine is a precursor to phenolic acids that constitute the lignin biosynthetic pathway. Although there is evidence of a role of some phenolic acids in plant responses to pathogens and salinity, ...
