LEA Proteins: Versatility of Form and Function (2010, background): “The best characterized of these are the LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins, originally described in plant seeds, but now known to occur in invertebrates and micro-organisms also (see several recent reviews: Rorat 2006; Tunnacliffe and Wise 2007; Battaglia et al. 2008; Shih et al. 2008).”
Markers of seed quality: from present to future (2012, background): “Besides sugars, proteins might play an important role in the formation of intracellular glass during dehydration (Sun and Leopold, 1994; Sinniah et al., 1998; Wolkers et al., 2001; Boudet et al., 2006; Tunnacliffe and Wise, 2007).”
Effect of selenium and silicon on transcription factors NAC5 and DREB2A involved in drought-responsive gene expression in rice (2014, background): “Rabbani, M.A., Abe, H., Maruyama, K., Khan, M.A., Katsura, K., Ito, Y., Yoshiwara, K., Seki, M., Shinozaki, K., Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, K.: Monitoring expression profiles of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genes under cold, drought and high-salinity stresses, and ABA application using both cDNA microarray and R”
The reduction of seed-specific dehydrins reduces seed longevity in Arabidopsis thaliana (2011, background): “Other possible functions of dehydrins, such as the stabilization of enzymes or membranes in the dry state or binding to Fe ions (for a review see Tunnacliffe and Wise, 2007), could also contribute to seed longevity.”
