On the Inside
Nov 01, 2008; ... Malic Acid Recruits Beneficial Soil Bacteria Mutualistic associations between roots and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) help protect plants from soil-borne pathogens. Symbioses with PGPR can also trigger induced systemic resistance in the aerial portions of plants. Despite ...
A Transcriptomic Footprint of Reactive Oxygen Species
Nov 01, 2008; ... Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a paradox for plants. ROS can be deleterious to cellular functions yet also are important signaling molecules. They are an unavoidable consequence of life in an oxygen-rich environment, and plants have devised numerous ways to deal with them, including changes ...
Extremely High-Level and Rapid Transient Protein Production in Plants without the Use of Viral Replication1
Nov 01, 2008; ... Plant-based overexpression of heterologous proteins has attracted much interest and development in recent years. To date, the most efficient vectors have been based on RNA virus-derived replicons. A system based on a disabled version of cowpea mosaic virus RNA-2 has been developed, which ...
The F-Box Gene Family Is Expanded in Herbaceous Annual Plants Relative to Woody Perennial Plants1[W][OA]
Nov 01, 2008; ... F-box proteins are generally responsible for substrate recognition in the Skp1-Cullin-F-box complexes that are involved in protein degradation via the ubiquitin-26S proteasome pathway. In plants, F-box genes influence a variety of biological processes, such as leaf senescence, branching, ...
Peroxisomal Localization of Arabidopsis Isopentenyl Diphosphate Isomerases Suggests That Part of the Plant Isoprenoid Mevalonic Acid Pathway Is Compartmentalized to Peroxisomes1[W]
Nov 01, 2008; ... Isoprenoids, the largest family of natural products, play numerous vital roles in basic plant processes, including photosynthesis, growth and development, reproduction, plant defense, and adaptation to environmental conditions (Gershenzon and Kreis, 1999; Rodriguez-Concepcion and Boronat, 2002) ....
