Vector-mediated viral exchange between crops and weedy plants
While virus-vector-crop interactions have received considerable attention, free-living plants growing in cultivated areas (‘weeds’) can also serve as viral reservoirs. Although weed-to-crop transmission is wel...

NaCl stress induces CsSAMs gene expression in Cucumis sativus by mediating the binding of CsGT-3b to the GT-1 element within the CsSAMs promoter
The CsSAMs promoter is a salt-stress-inducible promoter containing three GT-1 elements that are sufficient for the salt-stress response. The transcription fa...

Bacillus methylotrophicus isolated from the cucumber rhizosphere degrades ferulic acid in soil and affects antioxidant and rhizosphere enzyme activities
Ferulic acid (FA) accumulates in soil and inhibits plant growth. We examined whether the FA-degrading bacterium Bacillus methylotrophicus degrades FA in soil.

Cloning and functional characterization of PpDBF1 gene encoding a DRE-binding transcription factor from Physcomitrella patens
The dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factors play central roles in regulating expression of stress-inducible genes under abiotic stresses. In the present work, PpDBF1 (P ...
