Enhancing cytokinin synthesis by overexpressing ipt alleviated drought inhibition of root growth through activating ROS-scavenging systems in Agrostis stolonifera
TL;DR: The relationship between an adenine isopentenyltransferase transgene, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and the ROS-scavenging system, mechanistically contributing to improved root growth under drought stress in creeping bentgrass, is discussed.
Lipidomic reprogramming associated with drought stress priming-enhanced heat tolerance in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea).
TL;DR: Drought priming enhanced the accumulation of phospholipids and glycolipids involved in membrane stabilization and stress signalling during subsequent exposure to heat stress, which could contribute to drought priming-enhanced heat tolerance in cool-season grass species.

Ascorbic acid mitigation of water stress-inhibition of root growth in association with oxidative defense in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.).
Yi Xu,Qian Xu,Bingru Huang +2 more
TL;DR: Exogenous treatment of roots with ASA enhanced root elongation under water stress, which could be attributed by increasing non-enzymatic antioxidant production, suppressing ROS toxicity and up-regulating gene expression of cell-wall loosening proteins controlling cell expansion.
Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals common molecular factors responsive to heat and drought stress in Agrostis stolonifera
Yi Xu,Bingru Huang +1 more
TL;DR: These commonly-regulated genes by heat and drought stress identified in A. stolonifera suggested that drought and heat responses shared such common molecular factors and pathways, which could be potential candidate genes for genetic modification of improving plant tolerance to the combined heat androught stress.
