Open AccessActivation of surrogate death receptor signaling triggers peroxynitrite-dependent execution of cisplatin-resistant cancer cells
Platinum-based drugs remain as the cornerstone of cancer chemotherapy; however, development of multidrug resistance presents a therapeutic challenge. This study aims at understanding the molecular mechanisms u...

The nematode-resistance gene, Mi-1, is associated with an inverted chromosomal segment in susceptible compared to resistant tomato
The gene Mi-1 confers effective resistance in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) against root-knot nematodes and some isolates of potato aphid. This locus was introgressed from L. peruvianum into the corresponding ...

Molecular-genetic characterisation of a new nematode resistance gene in wheat
Bread wheat lines introgressed with Aegilops ventricosa chromosomes were evaluated for their resistance to the Australian cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera av...

The introgressed segment carrying rust resistance genes Yr17, Lr37 and Sr38 in wheat can be assayed by a cloned disease resistance gene-like sequence
A cloned gene sequence (Vrga1D), with features of the nucleotide-binding-site leucine-rich repeat class of disease resistance (R) gene sequence super family, was previously shown to belong to a family of five ...

Cloning and characterisation of a family of disease resistance gene analogs from wheat and barley
The most common class of plant disease resistance (R) genes cloned so far belong to the NBS-LRR group which contain nucleotide-binding sites (NBS) and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR). Specific primer sequences de...
