Overexpression of Nictaba-like lectin genes from glycine max confers tolerance towards Pseudomonas syringae infection, aphid infestation and salt stress in transgenic Arabidopsis plants [PDF]
Plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system that allows them to recognize invading pathogens by specialized receptors. Carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins are part of this immune system and especially the lectins that reside in the ...

Evaluation of the genotoxic and teratogenic potential of a municipal sludge and sludge-amended soil using the amphibian Xenopus laevis and the tobacco: Nicotiana tabacum L. var. xanthi Dulieu [PDF]
The toxic, genotoxic and teratogenicpotential of amunicipal sewage sludge was assessed using the micronucleus assay on the larvae of the amphibianXenopuslaevis and with the tobacco somatic mutation test using the yellow–green xanthiDulieu mutant a1+/a1 ...

DNA methylation at tobacco telomeric sequences [PDF]
Majerová et al. (Plant Mol Biol, 2011) have recently reported that a considerable fraction of cytosines at tobacco telomeres is methylated. Although the data presented in this report indicate that tobacco telomeric sequences undergo certain levels of DNA

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

Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin [PDF]
One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR).

Synfloriscence Nicotiana tabacum L. and its cytoplasmic hybrids
The structure of synfloriscence in cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) of Nicotiana tabacum L. and Hyoscyamus niger L., H. aureus L. and Scopolia carniolica Jacq. in comparison with the parental form (N. tabacum) has been studied and analysed.

RNA Viral Community in Human Feces: Prevalence of Plant Pathogenic Viruses [PDF]
The human gut is known to be a reservoir of a wide variety of microbes, including viruses. Many RNA viruses are known to be associated with gastroenteritis; however, the enteric RNA viral community present in healthy humans has not been described.
