Sequence-specific nucleases as tools for enhancing disease resistance in crops
Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas, have recently become valuable tools for plant reverse genetics as well as crop improvement, including enhancement of disease... -
The early inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrates positional effec...
Most flowering plants, including the genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, produce multiple flowers in sequence from a reproductive shoot apex to form a flower spike... -
Response of cell-wall composition and RNA-seq transcriptome to methyl-jasmona...
Jasmonic acid (JA) signalling is required for many stress responses in plants, inducing large changes in the transcriptome, including up-regulation of transcripts associated... -
Improved Interpretation of Mercury Intrusion and Soil Water Retention Percola...
This work addresses two continuing fallacies in the interpretation of percolation characteristics of porous solids. The first is that the first derivative (slope) of the... -
Determination of the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan peptide (AGP...
Purpose To test the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan-peptide (AGP), which is a soluble dietary fibre composed of arabinogalactan polysaccharide linked to a 15-residue... -
Opposite fates of the purine metabolite allantoin under water and nitrogen li...
The metabolite allantoin is an intermediate of the catabolism of purines (components of nucleotides) and is known for its housekeeping role in nitrogen (N) recycling and also... -
CRISPR/Cas precision: do we need to worry about off-targeting in plants?
The CRISPR/Cas technology has recently become the tool of choice for targeted genome modification in plants and beyond. Although CRSIPR/Cas offers a rapid and facile way of...
