ESCRT-I Mediates FLS2 Endosomal Sorting and Plant Immunity

12/26/2013 00:00
Thomas Spallek, Martina Beck, Sara Ben Khaled, Susanne Salomon, Gildas Bourdais, Swen Schellmann and Silke Robatzek   Abstract: The plant immune receptor FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2) is present at the plasma membrane and is internalized following activation of its ligand flagellin (flg22). We...

Plant population differentiation and climate change: responses of grassland species along an elevational gradient

12/26/2013 00:00
Frei ER, Ghazoul J, Matter P, Heggli M, Pluess AR.   Abstract: Mountain ecosystems are particularly susceptible to climate change. Characterizing intraspecific variation of alpine plants along elevational gradients is crucial for estimating their vulnerability to predicted changes....

Geographic distance is more relevant than elevation to patterns of outbreeding in Ranunculus bulbosus

12/26/2013 00:00
Philippe Matter, Chris J. Kettle, Esther R. Frei, Jaboury Ghazou and Andrea R. Pluess   Abstract: Mountain ecosystems can exert different selection pressures on plant populations over small scales due to steep environmental gradients. Gene-flow between lower and higher elevation plant...

Organisation and evolution of gene families involved in the ripening of banana fruits

12/19/2013 00:00
Cyril Jourda   Abstract: Whole genome duplications (WGD) are widespread in plants and the analysis of the banana (Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis, accession DH-Pahang) genome has identified three whole genome duplication events in this species. To study the impact of these WGDs on the...

Emerging Functions of Nodulin-Like Proteins in Non-Nodulating Plant Species

12/10/2013 00:00
Nicolas Denancé, Boris Szurek, Laurent D Noël   Abstract: Plant genes whose expression is induced in legumes by Rhizobium bacteria upon nodulation were initially referred to as nodulins. Several of them play a key role in the establishment of symbiosis. Yet, nodulin-like proteins are also...

Two Evolutionarily Distinct Classes of Paleopolyploidy

12/01/2013 00:00
Olivier Garsmeur, James C Schnable, Ana Almeida, Cyril Jourda, Angélique D’Hont, Michael Freeling   Abstract: Whole genome duplications (WGDs) occurred in the distant evolutionary history of many lineages and are particularly frequent in the flowering plant lineages. Following...

Characterization of the terpenoids composition of beers made with the French hop varieties: Strisselspalt, Aramis, Triskel and Bouclier

12/01/2013 00:00
Damien Steyer, Céline Clayeux and Bernadette Laugel   Abstract: Among the various compounds brought in to beer by hop, mono- and sesqui- terpenoids are the most studied and contribute to a certain extent to the hoppy aroma of beer. Previous studies have indicated that the concentration of...

High-density genome-wide association mapping implicates an F-box encoding gene in Medicago truncatula resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches

Domain wise docking analyses of the modular chitin binding protein CBP50 from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar konkukian S4

11/11/2013 00:00
Ujala Sehar, Muhammad Aamer Mehmood, Khadim Hussain, Salman Nawaz, Shahid Nadeem, Muhammad Hussnain Siddique, Habibullah Nadeem, Munazza Gull, Niaz Ahmad, Iqra Sohail, Saba Shahid Gill and Summera Majeed   Abstract: This paper presents an in silico characterization of the chitin binding...

Investigation of glycosyltransferases from oat

10/31/2013 00:00
Thomas Louveau   Summary: Plants produce a diversity of secondary metabolites crucial for their survival into specific ecological niches. Many of these compounds are glycosides generated by the action of family one UDP-dependant glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Glycosylated products of UGTs are...
