The use of transgenic bacteria has been proposed as a suitable alternative for mercury remediation. Ideally, would be sequestered by metal-scavenging agents inside subsequent retrieval. So far, this approach produced limited protection and accumulation. We report here the development system that effectively expresses metallothionein (mt-1) polyphosphate kinase (ppk) genes in order to provide high resistance In study, bacterial transformation with transcriptional translational enhanced...
Summary Genetic engineering to enhance mercury phytoremediation has been accomplished by expression of the mer AB genes that protects cell converting Hg[II] into Hg[0] which volatilizes from cell. A drawback this approach is toxic Hg released back environment. better strategy would be accumulate inside plants for subsequent retrieval. We report here development a transplastomic express mouse metallothionein gene ( mt1 ) and in high concentrations within plant cells. Real‐time PCR analysis...
The yield of pearl millet, a resilient cereal crop crucial for African food security, is severely impacted by the root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, which requires host-released hormones, called strigolactones (SLs), seed germination. Herein, we identify four SLs present in Striga-susceptible line SOSAT-C88-P10 (P10) but absent resistant 29Aw (Aw). We generate chromosome-scale genome assemblies, including gapless chromosomes each line. Striga-resistant Aw lacks 0.7 Mb segment containing...
Carotenoids are essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus and precursors plant hormones, such as strigolactones (SLs). SLs involved in various aspects development stress-response processes, including establishment root shoot architecture. SL biosynthesis begins with reversible isomerization all- trans -carotene into 9- cis -β-carotene, catalysed by DWARF27 β-carotene isomerase (D27). Sequence comparisons have revealed presence D27-related proteins eukaryotes cyanobacteria lacking...
Abstract Key message Modification of silent latent endosperm-enabled promoters (SLEEPERs) allows the ectopic activation non-expressed metabolic genes in rice callus Metabolic engineering plants typically involves transgene expression or mutation endogenous genes. An alternative is promoter modification, where small changes sequence allow to be switched on off particular tissues. To activate endosperm, we screened native for near-miss cis -acting elements that can converted endosperm-active...

Human Neural Stem Cells (hNSC) from fetal tissue was used to study how in vitro demethylation influences the cellular commitment and differentiation between neural or glial lineages. First we verify that neuronal like cells derived hNSC show typical electrophysiology profile of a neuron. Second after were label with (GFAP) marker (Beta tubulin III) score lineage. Results shows neurons have ionic currents characteristic physiological bona fide neurons. treatment hypo‐methylating agent...
