Executor (E) genes comprise a new type of plant resistance (R) genes, identified from host–Xanthomonas interactions. The Xanthomonas-secreted transcription activation-like effectors (TALEs) usually function as major virulence factors, which activate the expression of the so-called “susceptibility” (S) genes for disease development.

Gene targeting in plants [PDF]
Although the generation of transgenic plants is now routine, the integration of foreign genetic information has so far been at random sites in the genome. We now present evidence for directed integration into a predicted location in the host plant genome.

Genetics allows the elucidation of gene function through the analysis of gene malfunction. Modern genetics and genomics require ways for in situ modification of genes, by means of point mutations, deletions, and additions. The availability of sequence information of many organisms dictates rapid development of reverse genetics procedures.

Speciation genes in plants [PDF]
Analyses of speciation genes--genes that contribute to the cessation of gene flow between populations--can offer clues regarding the ecological settings, evolutionary forces and molecular mechanisms that drive the divergence of populations and species.

Heterelogous Expression of Plant Genes [PDF]
Heterologous expression allows the production of plant proteins in an organism which is simpler than the natural source. This technology is widely used for large‐scale purification of plant proteins from microorganisms for biochemical and biophysical analyses.

Genome-wide identification of bacterial plant colonization genes. [PDF]
Diverse soil-resident bacteria can contribute to plant growth and health, but the molecular mechanisms enabling them to effectively colonize their plant hosts remain poorly understood. We used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB-TnSeq)

Cisgenesis, a new tool for traditional plant breeding, should be exempted from the regulation on genetically modified organisms in a step by step approach [PDF]
Modern potato breeding requires over 100,000 seedlings per new variety. Main reasons are (1) the increasing number of traits that have to be combined in this tetraploid vegetatively propagated crop, and (2) an increasing number of traits (e.g ...

Plants, like animals, use steroid hormones to regulate their development. However, in plants, the steroid hormone is bound by a receptor at the cell surface instead of a nuclear receptor. In a Perspective, [Sablowski and Harberd][1] discuss studies published here ([ He et al .][2]) and elsewhere that provide the missing link between binding of the ...

Foliar fungal endophytes are known to alter plant physiology but the mechanisms by which they do so remain poorly understood. We focused on how plant gene expression was altered by six fungal strains that generated “water-saver” and “water-spender ...

Tomato: a crop species amenable to improvement by cellular and molecular methods [PDF]
Tomato is a crop plant with a relatively small DNA content per haploid genome and a well developed genetics. Plant regeneration from explants and protoplasts is feasable which led to the development of efficient transformation procedures.
