Leaf rust resistance in wheat and interpretation of the antifungal activity of silver and copper nanoparticles

Scientific Reports
Wheat production is jeopardized by Puccinia triticina, the pathogen responsible for wheat leaf rust. This study assessed the impact of silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) on the control of wheat leaf rust disease and the underlying mechanisms

Significant variation in transformation frequency in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2013
The naturally transformable bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is able to take up extracellular DNA and incorporate it into its genome. Maintaining natural transformation within a species requires that the benefits of transformation outweigh its costs ...

Gene silencing: concepts, applications, and perspectives in woody plants Silenciamento gênico: conceitos, aplicações e perspectivas em plantas lenhosas

Scientia Agricola, 2007
RNA interference, transcriptional gene silencing, virus induced gene silencing, and micro RNAs comprise a series of mechanisms capable of suppressing gene expression in plants. These mechanisms reveal similar biochemical pathways and appear to be related

The Genetic Transformation of Chlamydia pneumoniae

Msphere, 2018
The absence of tools for the genetic manipulation of C. pneumoniae has hampered research into all aspects of its biology. In this study, we established a novel reproducible method for C. pneumoniae transformation based on a plasmid shuttle vector system.
