The Protein Kinase SnRK2.6 Mediates the Regulation of Sucrose Metabolism and Plant Growth in Arabidopsis
Zhifu Zheng,Xiaoping Xu,Rodney A. Crosley,Scott A. Greenwalt,Yuejin Sun,Beth Blakeslee,Lizhen Wang,Weiting Ni,Megan S. Sopko,Chenglin Yao,Kerrm Y. Yau,Stephanie Burton,Meibao Zhuang,David McCaskill,Daniel J Gachotte,Mark A. Thompson,Thomas W. Greene +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SnRK2.6, previously identified as crucial in the control of stomatal aperture by abscisic acid (ABA), has a broad expression pattern and participates in the regulation of plant primary metabolism, and that this kinase confers ABA hypersensitivity during seedling growth.
Control of starch synthesis in cereals: metabolite analysis of transgenic rice expressing an up-regulated cytoplasmic ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in developing seeds.
Yasuko Nagai,Chotipa Sakulsingharoj,Gerald E. Edwards,Hikaru Satoh,Thomas W. Greene,Beth Blakeslee,Thomas W. Okita +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the AGPase-catalyzed reaction is no longer limiting in the transgenic lines, and constraints on carbon flux into starch are downstream ofADPglc formation, resulting in an elevation of precursors upstream of ADPglC formation.

Assessment of fungicide systemicity in wheat using LC-MS/MS
TL;DR: Early-stage compounds can be screened for systemicity on whole plants using LC-MS/MS, equivalent to a lipophilicity model and superior to a water solubility model at predicting compound systemicity.
