How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Fusarium ear rot (FER) is a destructive fungal disease of maize caused by Fusarium verticillioides. FER resistance is a typical complex quantitative trait controlled by micro‐effect genes, leading to difficulty in identifying the host resistance genes. SIZ1 encodes a SUMO E3 ligase regulating a wide range of plant developmental processes and stress...
Maize ear rot, caused by multiple pathogens, is one of the most common fungal diseases of maize. It can not only seriously cause yield losses, but also contaminate grains with mycotoxins and threaten both human and animal health. Resistance to maize ear rot is mainly composed of physical resistance and biochemical resistance. For decades, researche...
Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful heavy metal that is risky for plant growth and human health. The zinc-finger transcription factor ZAT10 is highly conserved with ZAT6 and ZAT12, which are involved in Cd tolerance in plants. However, the definite function of ZAT10 in Cd tolerance remains uncertain. Here, we demonstrated that ZAT10 negatively regulated Cd u...
The UVR8 photoreceptor mediates plant responses to UV‐B wavelengths. The UVR8 dimer dissociates into monomers following UV‐B photoreception, a process accompanied by conformational changes that facilitate interaction of UVR8 with proteins that initiate responses. However, the importance of particular amino acids in maintaining UVR8 conformation and...
The photoreceptor UVR8 mediates numerous photomorphogenic responses of plants to UV‐B wavelengths by regulating transcription. Studies with purified UVR8 and seedlings not previously exposed to UV‐B have generated a model for UVR8 action in which dimeric UVR8 rapidly monomerises in response to UV‐B exposure to initiate signalling. However, the mech...
The photoreceptor UVR8 has a pivotal role in mediating plant responses to UV-B wavelengths. Dimeric UVR8 dissociates into monomers following UV-B photoreception, and there is evidence that this process is accompanied by conformational changes that may facilitate interaction of UVR8 with other proteins to initiate signaling. Hence monitoring UVR8 di...
