Interspecies DNA acquisition by a naturally competent Acinetobacter baumannii strain [PDF]

, 2019
The human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses high genetic plasticity and frequently acquires antimicrobial resistance genes. Here we investigated the role of natural transformation in these processes. Genomic DNA from different sources, including

Genetic Mapping and Functional Characterisation of GhCUP Regulating Leaf Curling in Cotton

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leaf size and shape are crucial traits affecting photosynthesis. Moderate leaf curling is believed to be beneficial to photosynthesis because upright leaves are ideal for building a canopy structure with reduced shaded areas to improve light penetration and ventilation.

Shoot organogenesis in leaf explants of Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Hyd1’ and assessing genetic stability of regenerants using ISSR markers [PDF]

, 2011
For the first time, an in vitro regeneration protocol of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hyd1' was developed. Effects of different plant growth regulators (PGRs) on shoot regeneration were investigated jointly with selecting optimal basal media and cefotaxime ...

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato

Resistance to carbapenems in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars from humans, animals and food [PDF]

, 2018
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial ...

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Enterobacter bugandensis: a novel enterobacterial species associated with severe clinical infection [PDF]

, 2018
Nosocomial pathogens can cause life-threatening infections in neonates and immunocompromised patients. E. bugandensis (EB-247) is a recently described species of Enterobacter, associated with neonatal sepsis.

Lily Transcription Factors LlPLATZ1 and LlMYB4 Orchestrate the Homeostasis of Heat Stress Responses via Antagonistic Regulation of LlHSF24

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress significantly damages crop yield and quality. PLATZ (PLANT A/T‐RICH SEQUENCE‐AND ZINC‐BINDING PROTEIN) transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. While the functions of PLATZ members in response to drought and salt stress are well characterised, their roles in heat ...
