Environmentally sensitive molecular switches drive poplar phenology
The CBGP research group “Circadian and seasonal control group of growth cycles-poplar dormancy” together in collaboration with the “Seasonal growth control in perennial plants” research group from Umeå Plant Science Center describes the latest advances in temperature-related molecular sensors operating during the seasonal control of poplar growth-dormancy cycles.

The first formal data publication from CBGP
As part of the Severo Ochoa objectives for CBGP, we proposed to increase the quality and reusability of our data outputs, as well as increasing the number of high-quality publications from CBGP, through pursuing pure-data publications such as this one.

Differential response of silencing HvIcy2 barley plants under biotic and abiotic stresses
We have shown how barley lines with silenced cystatin responds differently under biotic and abiotic stresses. The functional specificity of cystatin changes plants proteolytic activities in response to external stress, which is crucial for the modulation of physiological processes associated to any stress.

Repression of some cysteine-proteases makes barley leaves more resistant to pest and pathogens
Repression of two C1A barley cysteine-proteases results in thicker leaf cuticles, changes in the stomata pore area and causes some other physiological modifications. As a consequence, plants become more resistant to drought stress, pest and pathogen attack.

The seed embryo sends signals to the encapsulating endosperm to promote cell expansion events critical for germination
This study identifies endosperm expansion during imbibition as a necessary key step in the regulation of germination and defines its control by an embryo-initiated gene network. This provides an important insight into the regulatory processes underpinning the seed to seedling transition in plants.
