Scanning Electron Microscopic study of Piper betle L. leaves extract effect against Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown that Piper betle L. leaves extract inhibits the adherence of Streptococcus mutans to glass surface, suggesting its potential role in controlling dental plaque development. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the effect of

A near‐gapless genome assembly of Pseudocydonia sinensis uncovers unique phenylpropanoid pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. We present a high‐quality, chromosome‐scale, and haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of P.

Genome‐wide association study uncovers a novel gene responsible for rice seedling submergence tolerance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Submergence tolerance is crucial for the direct seeding of rice, yet long‐term domestication and breeding have inadvertently reduced the adaptability of cultivated rice to submergence stress. Here, we identify a nucleic acid excision repair protein‐encoding gene qSHS5 as an essential regulator of seedling height under submergence through a ...

Modulating the Synthesis of Dextran with the Acceptor Reaction Using Native and Encapsulated Dextransucrases

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2004
Dextransucrases are glucansucrases with broad applications in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Using sucrose as the glucosyl donor, they synthesize both high molecular weight (HMW) dextrans and potential prebiotic oligosaccharides.

Isolation of the ALG6 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae required for glucosylation in the N-linked glycosylation pathway [PDF]

, 2017
N-Linked protein glycosylation in most eukaryotic cells initiates with the transfer of the oligosaccharide Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 from the lipid carrier dolichyl pyrophosphate to selected asparagine residues. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, alg mutations

A Monoclonal Antibody Specific to Glucosyltransferase B ofStreptococcus mutansGS-5 and Its Glucosyltransferase Inhibitory Efficiency [PDF]

Hybridoma, 2012
Glucosyltransferase-B (GTFB) of Streptococcus mutans is considered a virulence factor because of its activity in the production of insoluble glucan, which is key to the bacterial attachment onto dental surfaces, leading to the formation of dental caries. Local passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies against GTFB is considered to be an effective

Origin and Evolution of Two Independently Duplicated Genes Encoding UDP- Glucose: Glycoprotein Glucosyltransferases in Caenorhabditis and Vertebrates

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
UDP- glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) is a protein that operates as the gatekeeper for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control mechanism of glycoprotein folding.

Antagonistic and detoxification potentials of Trichoderma isolates for control of zearalenone (ZEN) producing Fusarium graminearum [PDF]

, 2018
Fungi belonging to Fusarium genus can infect crops in the field and cause subsequent mycotoxin contamination, which leads to yield and quality losses of agricultural commodities.

Application of a GRF‐GIF chimera enhances plant regeneration for genome editing in tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Genome editing has become a routine tool for functionally characterizing plant and animal genomes. However, stable genome editing in plants remains limited by the time‐ and labour‐intensive process of generating transgenic plants, as well as by the efficient isolation of desired heritable edits.

Differentially evolved glucosyltransferases determine natural variation of rice flavone accumulation and UV-tolerance

Nature Communications, 2017
In contrast to flavonols, the functions of plant flavones are largely unknown. Here, the authors report the two differentially evolved glucosyltranferases (flavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase and flavone 5-O-glucosyltransferase) determine natural variation ...
