Saccharibacillus brassicae sp. nov., an endophytic bacterium isolated from kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) seeds
Strain ATSA2T was isolated from surface-sterilized kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) seeds and represents a novel bacterium based on the polyphasic taxonomic approach. A phylogenetic analysis based...

Identification of a pollen-specific gene, SlCRK1 (RFK2) in tomato
Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are proteins that are involved in the regulation of development, hormone signaling, abiotic, and biotic stress responses. It has been suggested that cysteine-rich receptor-li...

Glycine betaine: a versatile compound with great potential for gene pyramiding to improve crop plant performance against environmental stresses
Plants are frequently exposed to a plethora of environmental stresses. Being sessile creatures, they have to tolerate any stresses by altering their metabolism. To achieve tolerance, plants synthesize compatib...

Open AccessSmall RNA and transcriptome deep sequencing proffers insight into floral gene regulation in Rosa cultivars
Roses (Rosa sp.), which belong to the family Rosaceae, are the most economically important ornamental plants—making up 30% of the floriculture market. However, given high demand for roses, rose breeding programs ...

Screening of tissue-specific genes and promoters in tomato by comparing genome wide expression profiles of Arabidopsis orthologues
Constitutive overexpression of transgenes occasionally interferes with normal growth and developmental processes in plants. Thus, the development of tissue-specific promoters that drive transgene expression ha...

A genome-wide comparison of NB-LRR type of resistance gene analogs (RGA) in the plant kingdom
Plants express resistance (R) genes to recognize invaders and prevent the spread of pathogens. To analyze nucleotide binding site, leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) genes, we constructed a fast pipeline to predict and...

Overexpression of Arabidopsis dehydration-responsive element-binding protein 2C confers tolerance to oxidative stress
Dehydration-responsive element-binding proteins (DREBs) regulate plant responses to environmental stresses. In the current study, transcription of DREB2C, a class 2 Arabidopsis DREB, was induced by a superoxide a...

Open AccessDistinct expression patterns of two Arabidopsis phytocystatin genes, AtCYS1 and AtCYS2, during development and abiotic stresses
The phytocystatins of plants are members of the cystatin superfamily of proteins, which are potent inhibitors of cysteine proteases. The Arabidopsis genome encodes seven phytocystatin isoforms (AtCYSs) in two dis...

Gene expression profiles during heat acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension-culture cells
Thermotolerance is induced by moderated heat acclimation. Suspension cultures of heat-acclimated Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heynh.), ecotype Columbia, show thermotolerance against lethal heat shock (9 min, 50°C), a...
