Open AccessA targeted bioinformatics approach identifies highly variable cell surface proteins that are unique to Glomeromycotina
Diversity in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contributes to biodiversity and resilience in natural environments and healthy agricultural systems. Functional complementarity exists among species of AMF in sy...

Genic simple sequence repeat markers for measuring genetic diversity in a native food crop: a case study of Australian Kunzea pomifera F.Muell. (muntries)
Kunzea pomifera F.Muell. (muntries) is a native food crop in Australia that produces spicy apple-flavoured berries. Orchards were established in the 1990s using a variety of wild-collected select...

Genetic variation for root architecture, nutrient uptake and mycorrhizal colonisation in Medicago truncatula accessions
Sustainable agriculture strives for healthy, high yielding plants with minimal agronomic inputs. Genetic solutions to increase nutrient uptake are desirable because they provide ongoing improvements. To achiev...

Novel plant and fungal AGP-like proteins in the Medicago truncatula–Glomus intraradices arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
The ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to colonise the root apoplast, and in coordination with the plant develop specialised plant–fungal interfaces, is key to successful symbioses. The availability ...

Identification of a novel group of putative Arabidopsis thaliana β-(1,3)-galactosyltransferases
To begin biochemical and molecular studies on the biosynthesis of the type II arabinogalactan chains on arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), we adopted a bioinformatic approach to identify and systematically chara...

Open AccessConserved upstream open reading frames in higher plants
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) can down-regulate the translation of the main open reading frame (mORF) through two broad mechanisms: ribosomal stalling and reducing reinitiation efficiency. In distantly ...

The complex structures of arabinogalactan-proteins and the journey towards understanding function
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are a family of complex proteoglycans found in all higher plants. Although the precise function(s) of any single AGP is unknown, they are implicated in diverse developmental rol...

Molecular characterisation of a cDNA sequence encoding the backbone of a style-specific 120 kDa glycoprotein which has features of both extensins and arabinogalactan proteins
Nicotiana alata has a style-specific hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (the 120 kDa glycoprotein) which has properties of both extensins and AGPs [19, 20]. The 120 kDa glycoprotein is a soluble component in the...

A phase II trial of ilmofosine in non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma
We have conducted a study of ilmofosine (1-hexadecylthio; 2-methoxyethyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocho-line) in non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma, using a schedule of continuous infusion for 5 days and a dose o...
