Authors: J.E. Hwang, Y.J. Kim, M.H. Shin, J. Park, W. Choi, D.J. Yun and H.C. Park
Sugars function as signal molecules that regulate gene expression, growth, and development in plants, animals, and yeasts. As a contribution to understanding the molecular mechanisms of sugar responses, we identified and characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana BTB domain-containing protein of the H subfamily 1 (designated AtBTH1). The relative expression le.. Read More»

Protein expression and characterization of SEP3 from Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Q. Shi, J. Zhou, P. Wang, X. Lin and Y. Xu
SEPALLATA (SEP) MADS-box genes play crucial roles in the regulation of floral growth and development. They are required for the specification of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels as well as for floral determinacy. SEPs perform their functions through the formation of homo- or hetero-polymers, which are the molecular basis o.. Read More»

Isolation of Pantoea ananatis from sugarcane and characterization of its potential for plant growth promotion
Authors: J.F. da Silva, R.R. Barbosa, A.N. de Souza, O.V. da Motta, G.N. Teixeira, V.S. Carvalho, A.L.S.R de Souza and G.A. de Souza Filho
Each year, approximately 170 million metric tons of chemical fertilizer are consumed by global agriculture. Furthermore, some chemical fertilizers contain toxic by-products and their long-term use may contaminate groundwater, lakes, and rivers. The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria may be a cost-effective strategy for par.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of ChiMYB in Chrysanthemum indicum with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance
Authors: M. He, H. Wang, Y. Z. Liu, W.J. Gao, Y.H. Gao, F. Wang and Y.W. Zhou
v-myb avianmyeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog (MYB) transcription factors are key regulators of stress responsive gene expression in plants. In this study, the MYB gene, ChiMYB (GenBank accession No. KT948997), was isolated from Chrysanthemum indicum, and was functionally characterized with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance. The full ChiMYB cDNA.. Read More»

Characterization of microRNAs and their target genes associated with transcriptomic changes in gamma-irradiated Arabidopsis
Authors: J.H. Kim, Y.S. Go, J.K. Kim and B.Y. Chung
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in response to biotic and abiotic stress in plants. We investigated gamma-ray-responsive miRNAs in Arabidopsis wild-type and cmt3-11t mutant plants using miRNA microarray analysis. miRNA expression was differentiated between the wild-type and cmt3-11t mutants. miR164a, miR169d, miR169h, miR172b*, and miR403 were..

Overexpression of Arabidopsis HsfA1a enhances diverse stress tolerance by promoting stress-induced Hsp expression
Authors: J. Qian, J. Chen, Y.F. Liu1, L.L. Yang, W.P. Li1 and L.M. Zhang
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) group A1 heat shock factors (Hsfs), including HsfA1a, are important regulators in the heat shock response. Previous studies have revealed that genetically engineered HsfA1 members result in constitutive Hsf activation and heat shock protein gene (Hsp) expression under normal conditions, event.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of a subtilisin-like protease from Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: D.H. Li, H. Xi, X.B. Yu and Y.P. Cai
The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes 56 subtilisin-like serine proteases (subtilases). In order to evaluate the protease activity of a previously uncharacterized subtilase, designated as AtSBT1.9, we cloned its full-length cDNA from A. thaliana seedlings. An AtSBT1.9 mature peptide coding sequence was inserted into the bacterial expression vector, pMAL.. Read More»

Overexpression of a glycine-rich protein gene in Lablab purpureus improves abiotic stress tolerance
Authors: L.M. Yao, Y.N. Jiang, X.X. Lu, B. Wang, P. Zhou and T.L. Wu
Glycine-rich protein (GRP) is involved in the response to abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. A novel GRP gene in Lablab purpureus has been identified. The cDNA of LpGRP was obtained from an SSH library constructed with root tissues of L. purpureus MEIDOU 2012 by waterholding for 10 days. The function of LpGRP was also eval.. Read More»

Efficient use of artificial micro-RNA to downregulate the expression of genes at the post-transcriptional level in Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: A. Ud-Din, M. Rauf, S. Ghafoor, M.N.K. Khattak, M.W. Hameed, H. Shah, S. Jan, K. Muhammad, A. Rehman and Inamullah
icro-RNAs are cellular components regulating gene expression at the post-transcription level. In the present study, artificial micro-RNAs were used to decrease the transcript level of two genes, AtExpA8 (encoding an expansin) and AHL25 (encoding an AT-hook motif nuclear localized protein) in Arabidopsis thaliana. The backbone .. Read More»
