Improved paclitaxel accumulation in cell suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis by brassinolide
When brassinolide was added at 17 ng l−1 to Taxus chinensis cell suspension cultures, the paclitaxel content was increased by over 100% to 580 μg g−1 dry weight. Brassinolide may therefore be a novel regulator of...

Open AccessMicroarray scanner calibration curves: characteristics and implications
Microarray-based measurement of mRNA abundance assumes a linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the dye concentration. In reality, however, the calibration curve can be nonlinear.
