Abstract Background Studies on mycorrhiza associated bacteria suggest that bacterial-fungal interactions play important roles during formation and affect plant health. We surveyed Streptomyces Actinobacteria, known as antibiotic producers antagonists of fungi, from Norway spruce mycorrhizas with predominantly Piloderma species the fungal partner. Results Fifteen isolates exhibited substantial variation in inhibition tested mycorrhizal pathogenic fungi ( Amanita muscaria, Fusarium oxysporum ,...
Abstract Callus cell cultures of A rabidopsis thaliana (cv. C olumbia) were exposed to parabolic flights in order assess molecular, short‐term responses altered gravity fields. Using transgenic lines, hydrogen peroxide ( H 2 O ) and cytosolic a 2+ continuously monitored. In parallel, the metabolism samples was chemically quenched RNA later, mbion for ; acid/base NADPH , NADP at typical stages parabola [1 g before pull up; end up (1.8 ), microgravity (20 s) out )]. Cells exhibited an increase...
The Simbox mission was the first joint space project between Germany and China in November 2011. Eleven-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana wild type semisolid callus cultures were integrated into fully automated plant cultivation containers exposed to spaceflight conditions within hardware on board of spacecraft Shenzhou 8. related ground experiment conducted under similar conditions. use an in-flight centrifuge provided a 1 g gravitational field space. cells metabolically quenched after 5 days...
