Open AccessA pair of atypical NLR-encoding genes confers Asian soybean rust resistance in soybean
Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is a devastating disease that is present in all major soybean-producing regions. The limited availability of resistant germplasm has resulted in a scarci...

Tsp-1 is involved in DNA stability through Tgf-β1 activation domain in cone photoreceptor 661 W cells
Thrombospondin-1 (Tsp-1), a matricellular protein, could protect retinal neurons from endogenous or exogenous insults; however, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate T...

A cold-active β-glucosidase (Bgl1C) from a sea bacteria Exiguobacterium oxidotolerans A011
By constructing a genomic library, a new gene encoding β-glucosidase (Bgl1C) was cloned from Exiguobacterium oxidotolerans A011, which was isolated from deep sea mud. The putative β-glucosidase gene consisted of ...
