Horizontal gene transfer contributes to plant evolution : the case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

The role of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein in viral movement and symptom induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein is a counter-defense factor and symptom determinant. Conserved domains in the 2b protein sequence were mutated in the 2b gene of strain Fny-CMV.

Asymmetric somatic plant hybridization : status and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To create asymmetric somatic hybrids, the genome of the so-called donor protoplast is fragmented prior to protoplast fusion. As a result, only a limited amount of the donor genome is transferred to the fusion product.

Comparative genome-wide characterization leading to simple sequence repeat marker development for Nicotiana

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
Background Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandem repeats of DNA that have been used to develop robust genetic markers. These molecular markers are powerful tools for basic and applied studies such as molecular breeding.

In vitro grown pollen tubes of Nicotiana alata actively synthesise a fucosylated xyloglucan. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Nicotiana alata pollen tubes are a widely used model for studies of polarized tip growth and cell wall synthesis in plants. To better understand these processes, RNA-Seq and de novo assembly methods were used to produce a transcriptome of N. alata pollen

Plant-Based Vaccine Production Through Transient Expression System: A Narrative Review

open access: yesLife and Science
Transient expression systems involve the temporary expression of a foreign gene in plant tissues to enable efficient, high-yield vaccine production. Plant-based systems minimize contamination risks because the introduced gene does not integrate into the ...
