The chloroplast genomes of land plants have highly conserved structures and organization of content; they comprise a single circular molecule with a quadripartite structure that includes two copies of an IR region that separate large and small single-copy (LSC and SSC) regions (Fig.1a, b). The...
Germin and germin-like proteins constitute a ubiquitous family of plant proteins. A role of some family members in defense against pathogen attack had been proposed based on gene regulation studies and transgenic approaches. Soybean (G. max L. Merr.) ger

Although significant progress has been made in the development and optimization of genetic transformation systems, shortcomings remain.Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation has been widely used in lily.

(CF) for each cDNA sample was calculated using the Ct number of this cDNA sample divided by the average Ct number of all cDNA samples included in the same experiment. The values of three to four technical replicates were averaged to form the CF for each biological replicate of each ...
Cross species comparative analysis has been successfully applied to the identification of completely novel virulence mechanisms in wilt pathogens of dicot hosts [28] and in the cereal-infecting fungus F. pseudograminearum[29]. In both of these examples, proteins uniquely present in organisms sharing a...
the passive techniques rely on ambient light in order to form an image [24]. Compared to 2D imaging, both passive and active 3D imaging approaches can significantly improve the accuracy of plant growth measurements and even expand on the architectural traits available. However, 3D imaging technique...
Plant viral vectors offer high-yield expression of pharmaceutical and commercially important proteins with a minimum of cost and preparation time. The use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been introduced to deliver the viral vector as a transgene to each
Coffee is one of the world's most important crops; it is consumed worldwide and plays a significant role in the economy of producing countries. Coffea arabica and C. canephora are responsible for 70 and 30% of commercial production, respectively. C. arab
[42]. HG is the most abundant pectin in the vast majority plant species, constituting ~ 60% of the pectins in dicot cell walls. It has a simple structure composed of a linear chain of α-1,4-linked galacturonic acid ...
