DNA methylation valley as a distinguishing feature occurs in root-specific expressed nicotine-related genes in Nicotiana attenuata [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionNicotine, the main defense alkaloid of Nicotiana species, is synthesized exclusively in the roots. Several studies have shown that changes in DNA methylation patterns are associated with altered expression of genes involved in the ...

Cytokinin transfer by a free-living mirid to Nicotiana attenuata recapitulates a strategy of endophytic insects [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Endophytic insects provide the textbook examples of herbivores that manipulate their host plant’s physiology, putatively altering source/sink relationships by transferring cytokinins (CK) to create ‘green islands’ that increase the nutritional value of ...

NaLRR-RK4 mediates MAPK signaling to enhance plant defense against Alternaria alternata in Nicotiana attenuata [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis study investigates the role of NaLRR-RK4 in plant defense against Alternaria alternata in Nicotiana attenuata, focusing on the differential gene expression in wild-type (WT, NaLRR-RK4 expressed) and NaLRR-RK4-silenced (RNAi) plants upon inoculation.

Virus-Induced Gene Silencing Using Tobacco Rattle Virus as a Tool to Study the Interaction between Nicotiana attenuata and Rhizophagus irregularis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Most land plants live in a symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that belong to the phylum Glomeromycota. Although a number of plant genes involved in the plant-AMF interactions have been identified by analyzing mutants, the ...

Genome-wide associations of leaf spectral variation in MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuata. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract The application of in‐field and aerial spectroscopy to assess functional and phylogenetic variation in plants has led to novel ecological insights and supports global assessments of plant biodiversity. Understanding how plant genetic variation influences reflectance spectra will help harness this potential for biodiversity monitoring and ...

The only African wild tobacco, Nicotiana africana: Alkaloid content and the effect of herbivory [PDF]
, 2014 Herbivory in some Nicotiana species is known to induce alkaloid production. This study examined herbivore-induced defenses in the nornicotine-rich African tobacco N. africana, the only Nicotiana species indigenous to Africa.
