A Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein Negatively Regulates the Hypersensitive Response in Nicotiana benthamiana 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
We have been isolating and characterizing Ralstonia solanacearum-responsive genes (RsRGs) in Nicotiana plants. In this study we focused on RsRG308, which we renamed NbTCTP (N. benthamiana translationa...
Differential Effects of the Peptides Stomagen, EPF1 and EPF2 on Activation of MAP Kinase MPK6 and the SPCH Protein Level 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
The positioning and density of leaf stomata are regulated by three secretory peptides, EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR 1 (EPF1), EPF2 and stomagen. Several lines of published evidence have suggested a reg...
Trafficking of Plant Vacuolar Invertases: From a Membrane-Anchored to a Soluble Status. Understanding Sorting Information in Their Complex N-Terminal ... 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Vacuolar invertases (VIs) are highly expressed in young tissues and organs. They may have a substantial regulatory influence on whole-plant metabolism as well as on photosynthetic efficiency. Therefor...
Cell Wall Pectic Arabinans Influence the Mechanical Properties of Arabidopsis thaliana Inflorescence Stems and Their Response to Mechanical Stress 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Little is known of the dynamics of plant cell wall matrix polysaccharides in response to the impact of mechanical stress on plant organs. The capacity of the imposition of a mechanical stress (periodi...
Mitochondrial Localization of Ferrochelatase in a Red Alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Ferrochelatase (FECH) is an essential enzyme for the final step of heme biosynthesis. In green plants, its activity has been reported in both plastids and mitochondria. However, the precise subcellula...
Nitric Oxide Down-Regulation of Carotenoid Synthesis and PSII Activity in Relation to Very High Light-Induced Singlet Oxygen Production and Oxidative ... 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Nitric oxide (NO) was produced in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells 30 min after illumination at a very high light intensity of 3,000 µmol m–2 s–1 (VHL) followed by singlet oxygen (1O2) production, lipi...
Arabitol Provided by Lichenous Fungi Enhances Ability to Dissipate Excess Light Energy in a Symbiotic Green Alga under Desiccation 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Lichens are drought-resistant symbiotic organisms of mycobiont fungi and photobiont green algae or cyanobacteria, and have an efficient mechanism to dissipate excess captured light energy into heat in...
The AP2/EREBP Gene PUCHI Co-Acts with LBD16/ASL18 and LBD18/ASL20 Downstream of ARF7 and ARF19 to Regulate Lateral Root Development in Arabidopsis 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
The developmental process of lateral root formation consists of priming, initiation, primordium development and the emergence of lateral roots from the primary root. Molecular genetic studies with Ara...
Novel Insights Into the Function of Arabidopsis R2R3-MYB Transcription Factors Regulating Aliphatic Glucosinolate Biosynthesis 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Arabidopsis transcription factors, MYB28, MYB29 and MYB76, positively regulate aliphatic glucosinolate (AGSL) biosynthesis. Mutual transcriptional regulation among these MYB genes makes it difficult t...
Involvement of MicroRNA in Copper Deficiency-Induced Repression of Chloroplastic CuZn-Superoxide Dismutase Genes in the Moss Physcomitrella patens 1 Aug 2013 | 11:01 am
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metallo-enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of CuZn-SOD in both the chloroplast and cytosol was repor...
