Impact of bidirectional relationships between streptococcus anginosus group and host tissue matrix components on cellular activity: Role in establishment of infection [PDF]
, 2003 This paper investigates pathogenic mechanisms of the Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) of bacteria which influence the biological activity of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, endothelial cells and also how matrix proteins produced by these host cells ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved gene silencing mechanism regulating gene expression at transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels in plants. Synthetic trans‐acting small interfering RNAs (syn‐tasiRNAs) have emerged as powerful tools for highly specific and efficient gene silencing.

Application of sonication-assisted Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Chenopodium rubrum L
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2003 Chenopodium rubrum belongs to the plant species in which standard Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedures remain inefficient. We demonstrate that the employment of sonication-assisted Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (SAAT) effectively ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artemisinin, an antimalarial sesquiterpene lactone, is biosynthesized in glandular trichomes of Artemisia annua. Although numerous transcription factors have been demonstrated to regulate artemisinin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying the high expression of artemisinin‐associated biosynthetic enzyme and transcription factor ...
