A robust mechanism for resetting juvenility during each generation in Arabidopsis
Multicellular organisms undergo several developmental transitions during their life cycles. In contrast to animals, the plant germline is derived from adult somatic cells. As such, the juvenility of a plant mu...

Open AccessRole of cassava CC-type glutaredoxin MeGRXC3 in regulating sensitivity to mannitol-induced osmotic stress dependent on its nuclear activity
We previously identified six drought-inducible CC-type glutaredoxins in cassava cultivars, however, less is known about their potential role in the molecular mechanism by which cassava adapted to abiotic stress.

At3g53630 encodes a GUN1-interacting protein under norflurazon treatment
Chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles, with more than 95% of their proteins encoded by the nuclear genome. The chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signals are critical for the nucleus to coordinate its gen...

Preliminary report on the improved resistance towards Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae of cultivated kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) when grafted onto wild Actinidia guilinensis rootstock in vitro
The production of kiwifruit around the world is widely affected by the bacterial canker disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). The use of resistant rootstock is considered to be an effective...

An updated phylogeny and diversity of Phylloporia (Hymenochaetales): eight new species and keys to species of the genus
Phylloporia is shown to be monophyletic according to molecular sequence data. Morphologically, Phylloporia is characterized by annual or perennial basidiomata, a monomitic to dimitic hyphal system, generally pres...

Cloning and characterization of Agp1, the gene encoding the small subunit of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from wheat and its relatives
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) consists of two large (AGP-L) and two small (AGP-S) subunits; it regulates the limiting step in the biosynthesis of starch. Here, we isolated the full-length cDNA sequence o...
