Long-distance regulation of shoot gravitropism by Cyclophilin 1 in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants
The phloem-mobile protein SlCyp1 traffics to distant parts of the shoot to regulate its gravitropic response. In addition, SlCyp1 targets specific cells in the root to promote lateral root development.

Mechanism of glyphosate control of Phelipanche aegyptiaca
Despite its total reliance on its host plant, the holoparasite Phelipanche aegyptiaca suffers from a deficiency of aromatic amino acids upon exposure to glyp...

The effects of temperature and drought on autumnal senescence and leaf shed in apple under warm, east mediterranean climate
Autumnal senescence of apple in a warm climate corresponds to accumulated degree-days beneath 22 °C. Summer drought delays senescence and enables replenishment of carbohydrate reserves. Recover...

Signaling and Phloem-Mobile Transcripts
Numerous studies revealed that beside viral RNAs also plant endogenous RNAs are transported from source tissue towards apical tissues in plants. Surprisingly a high number of distinct transcripts including pro...

Movement of protein and macromolecules between host plants and the parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca Pers.
Little is known about the translocation of proteins and other macromolecules from a host plant to the parasitic weed Phelipanche spp. Long-distance movement of proteins between host and parasite was explored usin...

Melon phloem-sap proteome: developmental control and response to viral infection
In addition to small molecules such as sugars and amino acids, phloem sap contains macromolecules, including mRNA and proteins. It is generally assumed that all molecules in the phloem sap are on the move from...

Specific role of LeMAN2 in the control of seed germination exposed by overexpression of the LeMAN3 gene in tomato plants
Endo-β-mannanase is one of the key enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of the mannan-rich cell walls of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) seeds. Two isoforms of endo-β-mannanase have been characterized in tomato seeds...

Growth modulation of transgenic potato plants by heterologous expression of bacterial carbohydrate-binding module
Transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum cv. Desiree) expressing the bacterial carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) family III, which is part of the Clostridium cellulovorans CBPA, under control of the CaMV 35S p...

Glyphosate inhibits the translocation of green fluorescent protein and sucrose from a transgenic tobacco host to Cuscuta campestris Yunk.
The parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris is dependent on its host for water, assimilates and amino acids. It can be controlled by the herbicide glyphosate, which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase...

Root-Directed Expression of Alien Genes in Transgenic Potato
Bacterial pathogens of potato, e.g. Pseudomonas solanacearum, are known to infect potato roots causing severe losses in relatively warm climates. Our intention was to express, in potato roots, a bactericidal pept...

Pleiotropic effects of tobacco-mosaic-virus movement protein on carbon metabolism in transgenic tobacco plants
Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi) plants expressing wild-type or mutant forms of the 30-kDa movement protein of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-MP) were employed to study the effects of the TMV-MP on...

Article
Effect of leaf age on photosynthesis, carbon transport and carbon allocation in potato plants
Photosynthetic characteristics, carbon allocation and partitioning of newly-fixed14C among the various carbohydrate fractions were studied in leaves of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Désirée) of differen...

Influence of the tobacco mosaic virus 30-kDa movement protein on carbon metabolism and photosynthate partitioning in transgenic tobacco plants
Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants expressing the 30-kDa movement protein of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-MP) were employed to investigate the influence of a localized change in mesophyll-bundle sheath...
