Application of the comet assay in studies of programmed cell death (PCD) in plants

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is an intensively investigated process. One of the main characteristics of PCD in both animal and plant organisms is the non-random, internucleosomal fragmentation of nuclear DNA, usually analysed using total DNA gel

OsCPN10a, cooperating with OsCPN20 and OsHSP60‐3B negatively regulate ABA signaling and enhance seed storability in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Abscisic acid signaling homeostasis is essential for seed storability. The molecular chaperone OsCPN10a enhances rice seed storability by forming a trimeric chaperone complex with OsCPN20‐OsHSP60‐3B that attenuates abscisic acid signaling via direct interaction with OsPYL10‐OsABIL1, thereby maintaining starch integrity and offering a promising target ...

Ligand induced cleavage and nuclear localization of the rice XA21 immune receptor [PDF]

, 2012
The rice XA21 receptor confers immunity to the Gram-negative bacterial pathogen, _Xanthomonas oryzae_ pv. _oryzae_ (_Xoo_) upon recognition of the conserved microbial signature AxY^S^22.

SIB1‐SEC23A undergo ER to chloroplast relocalization to mediate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
SEC23A mediates membrane trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus and interacts with the immunity protein SIGMA FACTOR‐BINDING PROTEIN1 in Arabidopsis. Under stress, both proteins relocate from the ER to chloroplasts, suppressing photosynthesis genes and enhancing defense genes.

Fob1 and Fob2 Proteins Are Virulence Determinants of Rhizopus oryzae via Facilitating Iron Uptake from Ferrioxamine. [PDF]

, 2015
Dialysis patients with chronic renal failure receiving deferoxamine for treating iron overload are uniquely predisposed for mucormycosis, which is most often caused by Rhizopus oryzae.

Optimized Cas‐SF01 gene‐editing toolbox shortens flowering timing in commercial maize inbred JING724

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The gene‐editing tool Cas‐SF01 was optimized to maximize its efficiency in maize. The Cas‐SF01‐TREX2 configuration was superior in enabling high‐purity gene mutations. This toolkit enabled commercial maize to flower seven days earlier without yield loss, thereby securing harvests and accelerating crop breeding.

The IKU2/RLK7–MAPK–MINI3 signaling module controls endosperm cellularization timing to determine seed size in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The phosphorylation status of the WRKY transcription factor WRKY10/MINI3, controls the timing of endosperm cellularization in Arabiopsis, thus regulating final seed size, offering a molecular understanding that could inform future agricultural breeding strategies. ABSTRACT Seed size is a critical factor in determining crop yield.

The Effect of Protoplast Concentration during Inoculation on the Infection of Tobacco Protoplasts

Intervirology, 1978
When tobacco protoplasts were inoculated with tobacco rattle virus, the proportion infected was inversely related to the protoplast concentration between 0.5 X 10(5) and 4 X 10(5) per milliliter when the inocula contained phosphate or Tris-HCL buffers, but was independent of protoplast concentration when using citrate buffer.

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...

Development of the [beta]-glucuronidase reporter gene system to study Acremonium endophyte interactions with perennial ryegrass : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]

, 1997
A transformant of the fungal endophyte Acremonium lolii, strain Lp19, containing the gusA gene under the control of the constitutive Pgpd promoter was generated, and assigned the name KS1.
