Starch synthesis in Brachypodium distachyon endosperm occurs in dynamic, connected amyloplast compartments

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The morphology of starch granules is a major determinant of the functional and nutritional properties of starch and is highly variable among cereal species. Much of this morphological variation stems from differences in the spatial and temporal patterns of starch granule initiation in amyloplasts during grain development.

Optimization of Production Conditions for Protoplasts and Polyethylene Glycol-Mediated Transformation of Gaeumannomyces tritici

Molecules, 2018
Take-all, caused by Gaeumannomyces tritici, is one of the most important wheat root diseases worldwide, as it results in serious yield losses. In this study, G.

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Seamless, modular binary vectors for plant cell and molecular biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary In plants, genetic manipulations are commonly performed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen whose abilities as a ‘natural genetic engineer’ have been co‐opted for biotechnological applications. In the widely used binary vector systems, Agrobacterium already contains a plasmid with most of the genes needed for virulence and is ...

Heterologous Production of Cyprosin B in Nicotiana benthamiana: Unveiling the Role of the Plant‐Specific Insert Domain in Protein Function and Subcellular Localisation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant systems have gained increased attention as an alternative platform for producing heterologous proteins, particularly for industrially relevant proteins. The Cynara cardunculus L. flower extract is traditionally used in cheese production across Mediterranean countries due to its milk‐clotting properties.

Aminoglycoside phosphotransferases proteins structure and mechanism [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 1999
Aminoglycoside antibiotics constitute an important class of clinically useful drugs which are imperiled by the emergence of resistant organisms. Aminoglycoside resistance in the clinics is primarily due to the presence of modifying enzymes which N-acetylate, O-adenylate or O-phosphorylate the antibiotics.

Risk Evaluation and Molecular Characterisation of AtNPR1 Transgenic Citrus Lines Tolerant to Citrus Greening Disease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has caused devastating losses to citrus production in Florida, with yields declining by over 90% since 2005. Despite extensive efforts, no sustainable solution has been widely effective. Here, transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange lines engineered to constitutively express the Arabidopsis NPR1 ...

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12‐Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

Novel Kanamycin/Neomycin Phosphotransferase Cassette Increases Transformation Efficiency in E. coli

BioTechniques, 2000
Stable transformation depends on the efficient delivery of DNA into cells and the robust expression of genes that encode proteins which provide resistance to selective (cytotoxic) compounds.
