Effects of the Tobacco Defensin NaD1 Against Susceptible and Resistant Strains of Candida albicans
PathogensToday, Candida albicans is still the most common cause of both local and life-threatening systemic candidiasis. The spread of resistant fungal strains has resulted in an urgent need to search for new promising antimycotics.

The plant mitochondrial mat-r gene/nad1 gene complex [PDF]
, 1996 We have completed sequencing segments of the maize mitochondrial (mt) DNA that contains all five of the exons (A-E) of the gene (nad1) for subunit I of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase. Analysis of these sequences indicates that exons B and C are

NAD1 controls defense-like responses in Medicago truncatula symbiotic nitrogen fixing nodules following rhizobial colonization in a BacA-independent manner [PDF]
, 2017 Legumes form endosymbiotic interaction with host compatible rhizobia, resulting in the development of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Within symbiotic nodules, rhizobia are intracellularly accommodated in plant-derived membrane compartments, termed ...

Tick-box for 3'-end formation of mitochondrial transcripts in Ixodida, basal chelicerates and Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 According to the tRNA punctuation model, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of mammals and arthropods is transcribed as large polycistronic precursors that are maturated by endonucleolytic cleavage at tRNA borders and RNA polyadenylation. Starting from the

RNA editing in mitochondrial trans-introns is required for splicing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In plant mitochondria, gene expression of translatable mRNAs is a complex process with two critical steps, RNA editing and splicing. We studied the role of RNA editing on non-coding regions of the mat-r-nad1e-nad5c transcript from wheat mitochondria ...
