accelerated cell death 2 ( acd2 ) mutants of Arabidopsis have spontaneous spreading lesions and constitutive activation defenses in the absence pathogen infection. Lesion formation plants can be triggered by bacterial toxin coronatine through a light-dependent process. Coronatine-triggered lesion also requires protein translation, indicating that occurs an active We cloned ACD2 gene; its predicted product shows significant extensive similarity to red chlorophyll catabolite reductase, which...
Genetic experiments suggest that polarization of the oocyte is linked directly to initial cell fate determination singles out from its 15 sister cells. Specification as well establishment and maintenance a polarized microtubule network within Drosophila require activity egalitarian (egl) BicaudalD (BicD) genes. We have isolated egl gene show Egl protein colocalizes with BicD at all stages oogenesis. Immunoprecipitation both proteins are part complex. localize in three correlate stepwise...
Autonomous chromosomes are generated in yeast (yeast artificial chromosomes) and human fibrosarcoma cells (human by introducing purified DNA fragments that nucleate a kinetochore, replicate, segregate to daughter cells. These autonomous minichromosomes convenient for manipulating delivering segments containing multiple genes. In contrast, commercial production of transgenic crops relies on methods integrate one or few genes into host chromosomes; extensive screening identify insertions with...
The centromere is a repeat-rich structure essential for chromosome segregation; with the long-term aim of understanding and function, we set out to identify cotton sequences. To isolate centromere-associated sequences from cotton, (Gossypium hirsutum) surveyed tandem dispersed repetitive DNA in genus. Centromere-associated elements other plants include repeats and, some cases, centromere-specific retroelements. Examination genomic survey yielded that did not localize centromere. However,...
As the old song goes, “You've got to accentuate positive, eliminate negative,” and that is what happens in plant response hormone jasmonic acid (JA). In this case, task of eliminating negative falls ubiquitin-meditated protein degradation pathway, specifically
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins function in multiple processes mRNA maturation plastids and mitochondria (reviewed [Schmitz-Linneweber Small, 2008][1]). RNA chloroplasts is complex, PPR act cis - trans -splicing, translation, cleavage,
Plant pathogens breach the plant cell to reach nutrients within and yet must also avoid detection by defenses (reviewed in [Huckelhoven, 2007][1]). During infection, fungal oomycete make new wall at same time break down host wall. First, pathogen
The mitochondrial genome provides essential functions for cell metabolism. Plant genomes vary greatly in size, from ∼200 kb to over 2 Mb, and are substantially larger than of other eukaryotes (reviewed [Marechal Brisson, 2010][1]). Physical mapping
