Conjugated polymer nanoparticles for effective siRNA delivery to tobacco BY-2 protoplasts
(BioMed Central, 2010-12-30)Background: Post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a mechanism harnessed by plant biologists to knock down gene expression. siRNAs contribute to PTGS that are synthesized from mRNAs or viral RNAs and function to ... -
Genetic modification of alternative respiration in Nicotiana benthamiana affects basal and salicylic acid-induced resistance to potato virus X
(BioMed Central, 2011-02-28)Background: Salicylic acid (SA) regulates multiple anti-viral mechanisms, including mechanism(s) that may be negatively regulated by the mitochondrial enzyme, alternative oxidase (AOX), the sole component of the alternative ... -
Genome-wide expression profiling in leaves and roots of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) exposed to salinity
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-22)Background: Date palm, as one of the most important fruit crops in North African and West Asian countries including Oman, is facing serious growth problems due to salinity, arising from persistent use of saline water for ... -
Modulation of redox homeostasis under suboptimal conditions by Arabidopsis nudix hydrolase 7
(BioMed Central, 2010-08-12)Background: Nudix hydrolases play a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by hydrolyzing various nuceloside diphosphate derivatives and capped mRNAs. Several independent studies have demonstrated that Arabidopsis ... -
Transcriptome analysis of heat stress response in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-06)Background: Global warming predictions indicate that temperatures will increase by another 2-6°C by the end of this century. High temperature is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and productivity in many areas ... -
Transcriptomic changes induced by acute ozone in resistant and sensitive Medicago truncatula accessions
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-23)Background: Tropospheric ozone, the most abundant air pollutant is detrimental to plant and animal health including humans. In sensitive plant species even a few hours of exposure to this potent oxidant (200-300 nL. L-1) ...
