A fungal protease named AsES triggers antiviral immune responses and effectively restricts virus infection in arabidopsis and Nicotiana benthamiana plants
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04)Background and Aims: Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to fight against pathogens. Among these mechanisms, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) relies on the recognition of conserved microbe- or pathogen-associated molecular ... -
Allelic differences in a vacuolar invertase affect Arabidopsis growth at early plant development
(2016)Improving carbon fixation in order to enhance crop yield is a major goal in plant sciences. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, it has been demonstrated that a vacuolar invertase (vac-Inv) plays a key role in ... -
Arabidopsis phenotyping through geometric morphometrics
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07)Background: Recently, great technical progress has been achieved in the field of plant phenotyping. High-throughput platforms and the development of improved algorithms for rosette image segmentation make it possible to ... -
Beyond arabidopsis: differential UV-B response mediated by UVR8 in diverse species
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06)Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm) is an important environmental signal that regulates growth and development in plants. Two dose-dependent UV-B response pathways were described in plants: a specific one, mediated ... -
Coupling virus-induced gene silencing to exogenous green fluorescence protein expression provides a highly efficient system for functional genomics in arabidopsis and across all stages of tomato fruit development
(2011-07)Since the advent of the postgenomic era, efforts have focused on the development of rapid strategies for annotating plant genes of unknown function. Given its simplicity and rapidity, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) ... -
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of a polyester synthase-like gene delays flowering time in alfalfa
(Springer, 2023-02)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), commonly known as the “Queen of Forages”, is the main source of plant protein for meat and milk production systems worldwide. Since alfalfa is a perennial vegetative-harvest forage, delaying ... -
Engineering Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 for nitrogen fixation and its application to improve plant growth under nitrogen-deficient conditions
(2013-05-13)Nitrogen is the second most critical factor for crop production after water. In this study, the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 was genetically modified to fix nitrogen using the genes encoding the ... -
Selective pressure against horizontally acquired prokaryotic genes as a driving force of plastid evolution
(Springer Nature, 2016-01)The plastid organelle comprises a high proportion of nucleus-encoded proteins that were acquired from different prokaryotic donors via independent horizontal gene transfers following its primary endosymbiotic origin. What ...
