A guard-cell-specific MYB transcription factor regulates stomatal movements and plant drought tolerance.
Eleonora Cominelli,Massimo Galbiati,Alain Vavasseur,Lucio Conti,T. Sala,Marnik Vuylsteke,Nathalie Leonhardt,Stephen L. Dellaporta,Chiara Tonelli +8 more
TL;DR: The characterization of AtMYB60, a R2R3-MYB gene of Arabidopsis, is reported as the first transcription factor involved in the regulation of stomatal movements and opens new possibilities to engineeringStomatal activity to help plants survive desiccation.

Survival and growth of Arabidopsis plants given limited water are not equal
Aleksandra Skirycz,Aleksandra Skirycz,Korneel Vandenbroucke,Pieter Clauw,Katrien Maleux,Björn De Meyer,Stijn Dhondt,Anna Pucci,Anna Pucci,Nathalie Gonzalez,Frank A. Hoeberichts,Vanesa B. Tognetti,Massimo Galbiati,Chiara Tonelli,Frank Van Breusegem,Marnik Vuylsteke,Dirk Inzé +16 more
TL;DR: Drought tolerance is predominately scored based on an improved survival rate under lethal conditions that does not predict superior growth performance and, thus, biomass yield gain, under moderate drought often encountered in the field.

Expression analysis of anthocyanin regulatory genes in response to different light qualities in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Eleonora Cominelli,Giuliana Gusmaroli,D. Allegra,Massimo Galbiati,Helena K. Wade,Gareth I. Jenkins,Chiara Tonelli +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that specific members of the MYB and bHLH families play important roles in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to different light qualities in Arabidopsis.

GIGANTEA Enables Drought Escape Response via Abscisic Acid-Dependent Activation of the Florigens and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1
TL;DR: The data reveal a key role for GI in connecting photoperiodic cues and environmental stress independently from the central FT/TSF activator CONSTANS, which explains how environmental cues may act upon the florigen genes in aPhotoperiodically controlled manner, thus enabling plastic flowering responses.
ABA-dependent control of GIGANTEA signalling enables drought escape via up-regulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: It is revealed that ABA affects flowering through two independent regulatory mechanisms: the activation of GI and CO functions upstream of the florigen genes and the down-regulation of SOC1 signalling.
