Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes differ in their susceptibility to Fusarium wilt diseases. Ecotype
Taynuilt-0 (Ty-0) is susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum forma specialis (f.) matthioli whereas …

Petals of animal-pollinated angiosperms have adapted to attract pollinators. Factors
influencing pollinator attention include colour and overall size of flowers. Colour is …

When subjected to salt stress or drought, some vascular plants such as barley respond with
an increased accumulation of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine (betaine), being the last …

Abstract The MultiSite Gateway cloning system, based on site-specific recombination,
enables the assembly of multiple DNA fragments in predefined order, orientation, and frame …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is an essential tool for functional genomics studies
and crop improvements. Recently developed ternary vector systems, which consist of a T …

The phytohormone auxin controls processes such as cell elongation, root hair development
and root branching. Tropisms, growth curvatures triggered by gravity, light and touch, are …

The Arabidopsis genome contains many gene families that are not found in the animal
kingdom. One of these is the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family, which …

Generating and identifying transformants is essential for many studies of gene function. In
Arabidopsis thaliana, a revolutionary protocol termed floral dip is now the most widely used …

ABSTRACT A MYB-related transcription factor (MIXTA) that controls development of conical
cell form is expressed only in the inner epidermis of Antirrhinum petals. Expression of this …

High-voltage electroporation was used to transform Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains A136
and A348, reaching the efficiency of 1–3× 10 8 transformants/μg DNA. Transformation …
