The heme oxygenase/carbon monoxide system is involved in the auxin-induced cucumber adventitious rooting process.

Wei Xuan, Fu-Yuan Zhu, +5 authors Wen-biao Shen
Plant physiology
2008

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an important regulator of adventitious rooting via the activation of complex signaling cascades. In animals, carbon monoxide (CO), mainly generated by heme oxygenases… (More)

Endogenous hydrogen peroxide plays a positive role in the upregulation of heme oxygenase and acclimation to oxidative stress in wheat seedling leaves.

Xiao-Yue Chen, Xiao Ding, +7 authors Wen-biao Shen
Journal of integrative plant biology
2009

Pretreatment of lower H(2)O(2) doses (0.05, 0.5 and 5 mM) for 24 h was able to dose-dependently attenuate lipid peroxidation in wheat seedling leaves mediated by further oxidative damage elicited by… (More)

A controlled trial of long-term inhaled hypertonic saline in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Mark R. Elkins, Michael B Robinson, +6 authors Peter Thomas Patrick Bye
The New England journal of medicine
2006

BACKGROUND Inhaled hypertonic saline acutely increases mucociliary clearance and, in short-term trials, improves lung function in people with cystic fibrosis. We tested the safety and efficacy of… (More)

Carbon monoxide alleviates cadmium-induced oxidative damage by modulating glutathione metabolism in the roots of Medicago sativa.

Yi Han, Jing Zhang, +5 authors Wenbiao Shen
The New phytologist
2008

Using pharmacological and biochemical approaches, the role of cadmium (Cd)-induced carbon monoxide (CO) release and the relationship between CO and oxidative stress conferred by Cd exposure in the… (More)

Induction of growth elongation in wheat root segments by heme molecules: a regulatory role of carbon monoxide in plants?

Wei Xuan, Liqin Huang, +5 authors Wenbiao Shen
Plant Growth Regulation
2007

Recent studies suggest that carbon monoxide (CO), which is mainly produced by heme oxygenase (HO EC 1.14.99.3), may function as a physiological messenger or bioactive molecule by interacting with… (More)

To branch or not to branch: the role of pre-patterning in lateral root formation.

Jaimie M Van Norman, Wei Xuan, Tom Beeckman, Philip N. Benfey
Development
2013

The establishment of a pre-pattern or competence to form new organs is a key feature of the postembryonic plasticity of plant development, and the elaboration of such pre-patterns leads to remarkable… (More)

Root Cap-Derived Auxin Pre-patterns the Longitudinal Axis of the Arabidopsis Root

Wei Xuan, Dominique Audenaert, +8 authors Tom Beeckman
Current Biology
2015

During the exploration of the soil by plant roots, uptake of water and nutrients can be greatly fostered by a regular spacing of lateral roots (LRs). In the Arabidopsis root, a regular branching… (More)

BnHO1, a haem oxygenase-1 gene from Brassica napus, is required for salinity and osmotic stress-induced lateral root formation

Zeyu Cao, Beibei Geng, +5 authors Rong Zhan Guan
Journal of experimental botany
2011

In this report, a rapeseed (Brassica napus) haem oxygenase-1 gene BnHO1 was cloned and sequenced. It shared high homology with Arabidopsis HY1 proteins, and encodes a 32.6 kDa protein with a… (More)

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid exposure from early life does not affect atopy and asthma at age 5 years.

Catarina Almqvist, Frances L. Garden, +5 authors Guy B Marks
The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology
2007

BACKGROUND The Childhood Asthma Prevention Study was a randomized controlled trial conducted in children with a family history of asthma in whom omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and restriction of… (More)

Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root development in Arabidopsis.

Wei Xuan, Leah R. Band, +12 authors Tom Beeckman
Science
2016

The plant root cap, surrounding the very tip of the growing root, perceives and transmits environmental signals to the inner root tissues. In Arabidopsis thaliana, auxin released by the root cap… (More)
