Molecular characterization of a cDNA encoding putative calcium binding protein, HvCaBP1, induced during kernel development in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Seed development is known to involve complex physiological and molecular events. In order to gain information on the molecular events that occur in the grains of barley during kernel development, we conducted ...

Expressed sequence tags from a wheat-rye translocation line (2BS/2RL) infested by larvae of Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)]
Of the 16 known biotypes of the Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)], biotype L is recognized as being the most virulent. We have previously reported the development of near-isogenic lines (NILs) (BC3F3:4) by...

A new selection method for pepper transformation: callus-mediated shoot formation
We used two genes, TMV-CP and PPI1 (pepper-PMMV interaction 1 transcription factor), to transform commercially important chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) inbred lines (P915, P409) by means of Agrobacterium co-cultu...

AtBAG6, a novel calmodulin-binding protein, induces programmed cell death in yeast and plants
Calmodulin (CaM) influences many cellular processes by interacting with various proteins. Here, we isolated AtBAG6, an Arabidopsis CaM-binding protein that contains a central BCL-2-associated athanogene (BAG) dom...

The putative tumor suppressor gene GLTSCR2 induces PTEN-modulated cell death
Glioma tumor suppressor candidate region gene 2 (GLTSCR2/PICT-1) is localized within the well-known 1.4-Mb tumor suppressive region of chromosome 19q, which is frequently altered in various human tumors, inclu...

Open AccessSoluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 secreted by human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell reduces amyloid-β plaques
Presently, co-culture of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) with BV2 microglia under amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) exposure induced a reduction of Aβ42 in the medium as well as an overexpression o...

Nucleolar protein GLTSCR2 stabilizes p53 in response to ribosomal stresses
p53 is a key regulator of cell growth and death by controlling cell cycle progression and apoptosis under conditions of stress such as DNA damage or oncogenic stimulation. As these processes are critical for c...

Open AccessMicroRNA-302 induces proliferation and inhibits oxidant-induced cell death in human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells that proliferate in vitro as plastic-adherent cells, have a fibroblast-like morphology, form colonies in vitro and can differentiate into bone...

Open AccessPARP1 activation/expression modulates regional-specific neuronal and glial responses to seizure in a hemodynamic-independent manner
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) plays a regulatory role in apoptosis, necrosis and other cellular processes after injury. Status epilepticus (SE) induces neuronal and astroglial death that show regional-...

Early life stress experience may blunt hypothalamic leptin signalling
The aim of this study was to investigate whether neonatal maternal separation (MS) – chronic stress experience in early life – affects the anorectic efficacy of leptin in the offspring at adolescence. Sprague–...
