Open AccessNeural stem cells deriving from chick embryonic hindbrain recapitulate hindbrain development in culture
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing multipotent cells that line the neural-tube and generate all the nervous system. Understanding NSC biology is fundamental for neurodevelopmental research and therapy....

Open AccessA new role of hindbrain boundaries as pools of neural stem/progenitor cells regulated by Sox2
Compartment boundaries are an essential developmental mechanism throughout evolution, designated to act as organizing centers and to regulate and localize differently fated cells. The hindbrain serves as a fas...

Open AccessOnly minimal regions of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) are required for replication, expression and movement
The IL-60 platform, consisting of a disarmed form of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and auxiliary components, was previously developed as a nontransgenic universal vector system for gene expression and ...

Flower development in garlic: the ups and downs of gaLFY expression
The lack of sexual processes prohibits genetic studies and conventional breeding in commercial cultivars of garlic. Recent restoration of garlic flowering ability by environmental manipulations has opened new ...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus infection of a resistant tomato line with a silenced sucrose transporter gene LeHT1 results in inhibition of growth, enhanced virus spread, and necrosis
To identify genes involved in resistance of tomato to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), cDNA libraries from lines resistant (R) and susceptible (S) to the virus were compared. The hex...

Silencing of a single gene in tomato plants resistant to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus renders them susceptible to the virus
A reverse-genetics approach was applied to identify genes involved in Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) resistance, taking advantage of two tomato inbred lines from the same breeding program—one susceptible (...

A T7-driven silencing system in transgenic plants expressing T7 RNA polymerase is a nuclear process
We previously demonstrated a case of silencing in transgenic plants expressing T7 RNA polymerase in which expression of a reporter gene placed under the control of the T7 promoter was silenced. Here we demonst...
