Immunolocalization Analysis of C4 Proteins in the Leaf Tissue of Rice
Immunolocalization analysis is a principal tool to study protein expression and subcellular distribution in plant cells or tissues. In this chapter, we present the method of the preparation of lightly fixed fr...

Open AccessTransgenic maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase alters leaf–atmosphere CO2 and 13CO2 exchanges in Oryza sativa
The engineering process of C4 photosynthesis into C3 plants requires an increased activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in the cytosol of leaf mesophyll cells. The literature varies on the physiologi...

Climate-Resilient Future Crop: Development of C4 Rice
Rice is the most important crop in the world. It is a staple food for more than half of the human population and a primary food source for the world’s poorest people. Asia currently accounts for 90% of global ...

Open AccessCandidate regulators of Early Leaf Development in Maize Perturb Hormone Signalling and Secondary Cell Wall Formation When Constitutively Expressed in Rice
All grass leaves are strap-shaped with a series of parallel veins running from base to tip, but the distance between each pair of veins, and the cell-types that develop between them, differs depending on wheth...

High-level β1-integrin expression in a subpopulation of highly tumorigenic oral cancer cells
The β1 integrin (CD29) is a putative marker for cancerous epithelial stem cells. Cancer stem cells are essential to drive tumor growth, recurrence, and metastasis. We investigated the role of β1-integrin expre...

Isolating stromal stem cells from periodontal granulation tissues
Stem cell therapy is a promising area in regenerative medicine. Periodontal granulation tissues are often discarded during conventional surgery. If stromal stem cells can be isolated from these tissues, they c...

Transcriptome analysis during somatic embryogenesis of the tropical monocot Elaeis guineensis: evidence for conserved gene functions in early development
With the aim of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying somatic embryogenesis (SE) in oil palm, we examined transcriptome changes that occur when embryogenic suspension cells are initiated to develop...
