The FRIABLE1 gene product affects cell adhesion in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cell adhesion in plants is mediated predominantly by pectins, a group of complex cell wall associated polysaccharides. An Arabidopsis mutant, friable1 (frb1), was identified through a screen of T-DNA insertion lines that exhibited defective cell adhesion.

A Metalloprotease from Xanthomonas campestris That Specifically Degrades Proline/Hydroxyproline-Rich Glycoproteins of the Plant Extracellular Matrix

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Culture supernatants of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris contain an enzymic activity capable of degrading gp120, a proline-rich glycoprotein associated with the extracellular matrix of the vascular bundles in petioles of turnip (Brassica campestris).

Apoplastic and Symplasmic Markers of Somatic Embryogenesis

Plants, 2023
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a process that scientists have been trying to understand for many years because, on the one hand, it is a manifestation of the totipotency of plant cells, so it enables the study of the mechanisms regulating this process ...

FlAsH-based live-cell fluorescent imaging of synthetic peptides expressed in Arabidopsis and tobacco

BioTechniques, 2006
Genes encoding synthetic hydroxyproline-rich peptides with repetitive (Ser-Pro) units linked to an extensin signal sequence and a tetracysteine (TC) sequence were expressed transiently in tobacco, and transiently and stably in Arabidopsis under control ...

Floral organ transcriptome in Camellia sasanqua provided insight into stamen petaloid

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background The cultivated Camellia sasanqua forms a divergent double flower pattern, and the stamen petaloid is a vital factor in the phenomenon. However, the regulation mechanism remains largely unclear.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

The cell walls of green algae: a journey through evolution and diversity

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
The green algae represent a large group of morphologically diverse photosynthetic eukaryotes that occupy virtually every photic habitat on the planet. The extracellular coverings of green algae including cell walls are also diverse.

Identification, Classification, and Expression Analysis of Leucine-Rich Repeat Extensin Genes from Brassica rapa Reveals Salt and Osmosis Stress Response Genes

Horticulturae
Leucine-rich repeat extensin (LRX) is involved in the regulation of crucial cellular processes, such as cell wall growth and development, as well as signaling. However, the presence of the LRX gene family in Brassica rapa (B.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Unlocking the Potential of Extensin Signal Peptide and Elastin-like polypeptide Tag fused to Shigella dysenteriae's IpaDSTxB to Improve Protein Expression and Purification in Nicotiana tabacum and Medicago sativa.

Protein Expression and Purification
Plants are often seen as a potent tool in the recombinant protein production industry. However, unlike bacterial expression, it is not a popular method due to the low yield and difficulty of protein extraction and purification.
