Regulatory mechanisms behind the phenotypic plasticity associated with Setaria italica water deficit tolerance
(Springer, 2022-05)Drought is one of the main environmental stresses that negatively impacts vegetative and reproductive yield. Water deficit responses are determined by the duration and intensity of the stress, which, together with plant ... -
CRISPR/Cas9 and genetic screens in malaria parasites : small genomes, big impact
(Portland Press, 2022-06)The ∼30 Mb genomes of the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria each encode ∼5000 genes, but the functions of the majority remain unknown. This is due to a paucity of functional annotation from sequence homology, which ... -
Multiple ways to evade the bacteriostatic action of glyphosate in rhizobia include the mutation of the conserved serine 90 of the nitrogenase subunit NifH to alanine
(Elsevier, 2022-07)The genome resequencing of spontaneous glyphosate-resistant mutants derived from the soybean inoculant E109 allowed identifying genes most likely associated with the uptake (gltL and cya) and metabolism (zigA and betA) of ... -
Insights into the xylan degradation system of Cellulomonas sp. B6 : biochemical characterization of rCsXyn10A and rCsAbf62A
(Springer, 2022)Valorization of the hemicellulose fraction of plant biomass is crucial for the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. The Cellulomonas genus comprises Gram-positive Actinobacteria that degrade cellulose and other ... -
A prime-boost combination of a three-protein cocktail and multiepitopic MVA as a vaccine against Babesia bigemina elicits neutralizing antibodies and a Th1 cellular immune response in mice
(Elsevier, 2022-09)In the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia both innate and adaptive immune responses are necessary to confer protection against clinical disease. In particular, the adaptive immune response involves ... -
The genetic architecture of photosynthesis and plant growthrelated traits in tomato
(Wiley, 2018-02)To identify genomic regions involved in the regulation of fundamental physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, a population of Solanum pennellii introgression lines was analyzed. We determined ... -
The genome of the stress-tolerant wild tomato species Solanum pennellii
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09)Solanum pennellii is a wild tomato species endemic to Andean regions in South America, where it has evolved to thrive in arid habitats. Because of its extreme stress tolerance and unusual morphology, it is an important ... -
Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In addition to their role in light perception, phytochromes (PHYs) ... -
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 ... -
Coxiella endosymbiont of rhipicephalus microplus modulates tick physiology with a major impact in blood feeding capacity
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05)In the past decade, metagenomics studies exploring tick microbiota have revealed widespread interactions between bacteria and arthropods, including symbiotic interactions. Functional studies showed that obligate endosymbionts ... -
New validated eucalyptus SSR markers located in candidate genes involved in growth and plant development
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (España), 2020)Aim of study: To validate and characterize new microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers, located within genomic transcribed sequences related to growth and plant developmental traits, in Eucalyptus ... -
Validation of reference genes for quantitative PCR in Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) under glyphosate stress
(MDPI, 2021-08)Weeds are one of the main causes of the decrease in crop yields, with Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) being one of the most significant. Weeds can be controlled by herbicides, but some have developed resistance. ... -
Expanding the benefits of Tnt1 for the identification of dominant mutations in polyploid crops: A single allelic mutation in the MsNAC39 gene produces multifoliated alfalfa
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Most major crops are polyploid species and the production of genetically engineered cultivars normally requires the introgression of transgenic or gene-edited traits into elite germplasm. Thus, a main goal of plant research ... -
Editorial : Plant transformation
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)Plant transformation provides a key tool for much basic research, such as the study of gene functions and interactions, protein–protein interactions, developmental processes, as well as applications for crop improvement ... -
Citrus genetic transformation: an overview of the current strategies and insights on the new emerging technologies
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11)Citrus are among the most prevailing fruit crops produced worldwide. The implementation of effective and reliable breeding programs is essential for coping with the increasing demands of satisfactory yield and quality of ... -
State of the art of genetic engineering in potato: from the first report to its future potential
(Frontiers Media, 2022-01)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a crop of world importance that produces tubers of high nutritional quality. It is considered one of the promising crops to overcome the challenges of poverty and hunger worldwide. However, ... -
Replication and transmission features of two experimental vaccine candidates against bovine tuberculosis subcutaneously administrated in a murine model
