Expression of cDNA for a bark lectin of Robinia in transgenic tobacco plants

FEBS Letters, 1995
A cDNA encoding a bark lectin of Robinia pseudoacacia was introduced into tobacco plants. The expression of the lectin cDNA under control of the 35S promoter was confirmed by Western blot analysis and a hemagglutination assay of extracts of transgenic plants.

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Disturbances of Plant Communities : Spruce Bark Beetle Infestation

, 2000
The spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) is not new to the area, nor is it the only insect to affect the region's forests. Epidemic scale outbreaks are known to have occurred on the lower Kenai Peninsula as far back as the mid-1800s. The recent epidemic, however, has certainly been the most significant terrestrial ecological disturbance to the ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated
