Ectopic expression of CaRLK1 enhances hypoxia tolerance with increasing alanine production in Nicotiana spp.
In a previous report, the pepper receptor-like kinase 1 (CaRLK1) gene was shown to be responsible for negatively regulating plant cell death caused by pathogens via accumulation of superoxide anions. Here, we ...

Induced tyramine overproduction in transgenic rice plants expressing a rice tyrosine decarboxylase under the control of methanol-inducible rice tryptophan decarboxylase promoter
Tyramine, one of the various biogenic amines found in plants, is derived from the aromatic l-amino acid tyrosine through the catalytic reaction of tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC). Tyramine overproduction by constit...

Effect of nonlamellar-prone lipids on protein encapsulation in liposomes
We investigated the effect of two nonlamellar-prone lipids, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and dioleoylglycerol (DOG), on the efficiency of protein encapsulation in liposomes. When the phosphatidylcholine (PC) ...

Expression of Chicken Cystatin for Improving Insect Resistance in Rice
To become mature and infectious, many viruses and insects require proteolytic cleavage, which can be specifically inhibited by proteinase inhibitors. Oryzacystatin (OC), the first-described cystatin originatin...
