Brassinosteroid-Regulated Gene Expression [PDF]
Abstract Major brassinosteroid (BR) effects such as BR-induced growth are mediated through genomic pathways because RNA synthesis inhibitors and protein synthesis inhibitors interfere with these processes. A limited number of BR-regulated genes have been identified hitherto. The majority of genes (such as BRU1, CycD3,Lin6, OPR3, and TRIP-

Regulator Network Analysis of Rice and Maize Yield-Related Genes
Rice and maize are the principal food crop species worldwide. The mechanism of gene regulation for the yield of rice and maize is still the research focus at present. Seed size, weight and shape are important traits of crop yield in rice and maize.

The prophage-encoded transcriptional regulator AppY has pleiotropic effects on E. coli physiology.
Bacterial genome diversity is influenced by prophages, which are viral genomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome. Most prophage genes are silent but those that are expressed can provide unexpected properties to their host. Using as a model E. coli

Identification of the CRP regulon using in vitro and in vivo transcriptional profiling [PDF]
The Escherichia coli cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is a global regulator that controls transcription initiation from more than 100 promoters by binding to a specific DNA sequence within cognate promoters.

Introduction. The parvoviruses are among the smallest of the DNA animal viruses (Siegl et al., 1985). The genome is a linear single-stranded DNA of approximately 5 kb which is encapsidated in a naked icosahedral virion 20 to 26 nm in diameter. There are two or three capsid proteins which have overlapping amino acid sequences; the larger species have ...

Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

Genetic Interaction of Aspergillus nidulans galR, xlnR and araR in Regulating D-Galactose and L-Arabinose Release and Catabolism Gene Expression. [PDF]
In Aspergillus nidulans, the xylanolytic regulator XlnR and the arabinanolytic regulator AraR co-regulate pentose catabolism. In nature, the pentose sugars D-xylose and L-arabinose are both main building blocks of the polysaccharide arabinoxylan.

FLOWERING LOCUS C -dependent and -independent regulation of the circadian clock by the autonomous and vernalization pathways [PDF]
Background The circadian system drives pervasive biological rhythms in plants. Circadian clocks integrate endogenous timing information with environmental signals, in order to match rhythmic outputs to the local day/night cycle.

Plasmids manipulate bacterial behaviour through translational regulatory crosstalk.
Beyond their role in horizontal gene transfer, conjugative plasmids commonly encode homologues of bacterial regulators. Known plasmid regulator homologues have highly targeted effects upon the transcription of specific bacterial traits.
