e0“decreased expression of genes associated with ABA biosynthesis”
e1“Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) reduces yields and grain quality, resulting in seriously economic losses in wheat. It has been showed that PHS is significantly correlated to seed dormancy levels. FUSCA3 (FUS3) gene is considered to be the key regulator of seed dormancy. However, little information is available about the function of FUS3 gene (TaFUS3) in wheat. In this study, three homologous genes were identified in whea…” Show full quote

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Three TaFUS3 homologs were isolated in wheat.
- Observation TaFUS3-3B and TaFUS3-3D had similar expression profiles and high seed transcript levels at 25 DAP and 24 h imbibition.
- Observation TaFUS3-3A transcription was not detected.
- Intervention effect Silencing TaFUS3 increased wheat seed germination and pre-harvest sprouting.
- Intervention effect TaFUS3 silencing increased expression of genes for GA biosynthesis and ABA metabolism.
- Intervention effect TaFUS3 silencing decreased embryo sensitivity to ABA.
- Intervention effect TaFUS3 silencing changed ABA signal transduction gene expression.
- Mechanism TaFUS3 was interpreted to promote dormancy and sprouting resistance.
