	abstract = {Successful use of woody species in reducing climatic and environmental risks of energy shortage and spreading pollution requires deeper understanding of the physiological functions controlling biomass productivity and phytoremediation efficiency. Targets in the breeding of energy willow include the size and the functionality of the root system. For the combination of polyploidy and heterosis, we have generated triploid hybrids (THs) of energy willow by crossing autotetraploid willow plants with leading cultivars (Tordis and Inger). These novel Salix genotypes (TH3/12, TH17/17, TH21/2) have provided a unique experimental material for characterization of Mid-Parent Heterosis (MPH) in various root traits. Using a root phenotyping platform, we detected heterosis (TH3/12: MPH 43.99%; TH21/2: MPH 26.93%) in the size of the root system in soil. Triploid heterosis was also recorded in the fresh root weights, but it was less pronounced (MPH%: 9.63–19.31). In agreement with root growth characteristics in soil, the TH3/12 hybrids showed considerable heterosis (MPH: 70.08%) under in vitro conditions. Confocal microscopy-based imaging and quantitative analysis of root parenchyma cells at the division–elongation transition zone showed increased average cell diameter as a sign of cellular heterosis in plants from TH17/17 and TH21/2 triploid lines. Analysis of the hormonal background revealed that the auxin level was seven times higher than the total cytokinin contents in root tips of parental Tordis plants. In triploid hybrids, the auxin–cytokinin ratios were considerably reduced in TH3/12 and TH17/17 roots. In particular, the contents of cytokinin precursor, such as isopentenyl adenosine monophosphate, were elevated in all three triploid hybrids. Heterosis was also recorded in the amounts of active gibberellin precursor, GA19, in roots of TH3/12 plants. The presented experimental findings highlight the physiological basics of triploid heterosis in energy willow roots.},

	abstract = {Organisms have evolved a circadian clock for the precise timing of their biological processes. Studies primarily on model dicots have shown the complexity of the inner timekeeper responsible for maintaining circadian oscillation in plants and have highlighted that circadian regulation is more than relevant to a wide range of biological processes, especially organ development and timing of flowering. Contribution of the circadian clock to overall plant fitness and yield has also long been known. Nevertheless, the organ- and species-specific functions of the circadian clock and its relation to stress adaptation have only recently been identified. Here we report transcriptional changes of core clock genes of the model monocot Brachypodium distachyon under three different light regimes (18:6 light:dark, 24:0 light and 0:24 dark) in response to mild drought stress in roots and green plant parts. Comparative monitoring of core clock gene expression in roots and green plant parts has shown that both phase and amplitude of expression in the roots of Brachypodium plants differ markedly from those in the green plant parts, even under well-watered conditions. Moreover, circadian clock genes responded to water depletion differently in root and shoot. These results suggest an organ-specific form and functions of the circadian clock in Brachypodium roots.},

	abstract = {Previously, studies on RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases in cereals were preferentially focused on GW2 genes primarily controlling seed parameters in rice and wheat. Here we report cloning two HvYrg genes from barley that share significant homology with rice GW2 gene. In antisense genotypes efficiency of gene silencing varied between genes and transgenic lines: ASHvYrg1: 30-50% and ASHvYrg2: 20-27%. Reduced activity of both genes altered shoot system with increasing number of side shoots. Changes in leaf width, weight, or plant weight and height reached significant levels in some transgenic lines. Lowering expression of the two barley HvYrg genes caused opposite responses in spike development. Plants with ASHvYrg1 gene construct showed earlier heading time and prolonged grain-filling period, while plants from ASHvYrg2 genotype flowered in delay. Digital imaging of root development revealed that down-regulation of HvYrg1 gene variant stimulated root growth, while ASHvYrg2 plants developed reduced root system. Comparison of seed parameters indicated an increase in thousand grain weight accompanied with longer and wider seed morphology. In summary we conclude that in contrast to inhibition of GW2 genes in rice and wheat plants, down-regulation of the barely HvYrg genes caused substantial changes in vegetative organs in addition to alteration of seed parameters.},

	abstract = {KEY MESSAGE: An unambiguous nomenclature is proposed for the twenty-eight-member LOB domain transcription factor family in Brachypodium . Expression analysis provides unique transcript patterns that are characteristic of a wide range of organs and plant parts. LOB (lateral organ boundaries)-domain proteins define a family of plant-specific transcription factors involved in developmental processes from embryogenesis to seed production. They play a crucial role in shaping the plant architecture through coordinating cell fate at meristem to organ boundaries. Despite their high potential importance, our knowledge of them is limited, especially in the case of monocots. In this study, we characterized LOB domain protein coding genes (LBDs) of Brachypodium distachyon, a model plant for grasses, and present their phylogenetic relationships and an overall spatial expression study. In the Brachypodium genome database, 28 LBDs were found and then classified based on the presence of highly conserved LOB domain motif. Their transcript amounts were measured via quantitative real-time RT-PCR in 37 different plant parts from root tip to generative organs. Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis suggests that there are neither Brachypodium- nor monocot-specific lineages among LBDs, but there are differences in terms of complexity of subclasses between monocots and dicots. Although LBDs in Brachypodium have wide variation of tissue-specific expression and relative transcript levels, overall expression patterns show similarity to their counterparts in other species. The varying transcript profiles we observed support the hypothesis that Brachypodium LBDs have diverse but conserved functions in plant organogenesis.},

	abstract = {Plants undergo an extensive change in gene regulation during abiotic stress. It is of great agricultural importance to know which genes are affected during stress response. The genome sequence of a number of plant species has been determined, among them Arabidopsis and Oryza sativa, whose genome has been annotated most completely as of yet, and are well-known organisms widely used as experimental systems. This paper applies a statistical algorithm for predicting new stress-induced motifs and genes by analyzing promoter sets co-regulated by abiotic stress in the previously mentioned two species. After identifying characteristic putative regulatory motif sequence pairs (dyads) in the promoters of 125 stress-regulated Arabidopsis genes and 87 O. sativa genes, these dyads were used to screen the entire Arabidopsis and O. sativa promoteromes to find related stress-induced genes whose promoters contained a large number of these dyads found by our algorithm. We were able to predict a number of putative dyads, characteristic of a large number of stress-regulated genes, some of them newly discovered by our algorithm and serve as putative transcription factor binding sites. Our new motif prediction algorithm comes complete with a stand-alone program. This algorithm may be used in motif discovery in the future in other species. The more than 1,200 Arabidopsis and 1,700 Orzya sativa genes found by our algorithm are good candidates for further experimental studies in abiotic stress.},

A suicide vector carrying a 518-bp alkB fragment was site-specifically integrated into the E1 chromosome, and the full alkB, as well as its chromosomal environment was sequenced after plasmid rescue experiments. Four out of the nine putative genes were strongly induced by long-chain n-alkanes in wild-type E1. ORF4 encoded a natural fusion protein consisting of an integral membrane alkane hydroxylase and a rubredoxin domain. The significance of the alkB-rub gene in n-alkane degradation was investigated in phenotypic tests, and the disruption mutant strain exhibited severely impaired growth on n-C-20 alkane carbon source. The mutation was successfully complemented with the expression of intact AlkB-Rub protein, the full-length form of which was detected by simultaneous immunoblotting. The presented data furnish the first experimental evidence of the in vivo existence of an AlkB-Rub natural fusion protein, which plays a major role in long-chain n-alkane degradation.},
