Sonic Hedgehog Is a Member of the Hh/DD-Peptidase Family That Spans the Eukaryotic and Bacterial Domains of Life. [PDF]
, 2018 Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) coordinates Zn2+ in a manner that resembles that of peptidases. The ability of Shh to undergo autoproteolytic processing is impaired in mutants that affect the Zn2+ coordination, while mutating residues essential for catalytic ...

Heterogeneity of Rhizobium lipopolysaccharides [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1984 The lipopolysaccharides ( LPSs ) from strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum, Rhizobium trifolii, and Rhizobium phaseoli were isolated and partially characterized by mild acid hydrolysis and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mild acid hydrolysis results in a precipitate which can be removed by centrifugation or extraction with chloroform.

Rooting Conifer Genetic Research: An Accessible and Efficient Transformation System
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conifers serve as the cornerstone of global forest ecosystems, yet their genetic transformation faces notorious challenges. To overcome the intrinsic resistance of conifer adventitious roots to Agrobacterium/Rhizobium‐mediated transformation, we systematically and iteratively engineered the binary vector by introducing chimeric Ri plasmid ...

First Successful Targeted Mutagenesis Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Stably Transformed Grain Amaranth Tissue
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Grain amaranth is a nutritionally rich, stress‐tolerant C4 dicot with considerable potential for climate‐resilient agriculture; however, efficient and reproducible protocols for stable transformation, regeneration, and CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated editing have not yet been established.

Complete genome sequence of the Medicago microsymbiont Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) medicae strain WSM419 [PDF]
, 2010 Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) medicae is an effective nitrogen fixing microsymbiont of a diverse range of annual Medicago (medic) species. Strain WSM419 is an aerobic, motile, non-spore forming, Gram-negative rod isolated from a M.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

Denitrification by rhizobia: A possible factor contributing to nitrogen losses from soils [PDF]
, 1980 The intensive pastoral farming system on which New Zealand animal production is based is almost completely dependent upon the rhizobium-legurne symbiosis for the fixed nitrogen required for pasture production.

Sinorhizobium fredii Strains HH103 and NGR234 Form Nitrogen Fixing Nodules With Diverse Wild Soybeans (Glycine soja) From Central China but Are Ineffective on Northern China Accessions [PDF]
, 2018 Sinorhizobium fredii indigenous populations are prevalent in provinces of Central China whereas Bradyrhizobium species (Bradyrhizobium japonicum, B. diazoefficiens, B. elkanii, and others) are more abundant in northern and southern provinces.
