galanthus elwesii/ニコチン

Tobacco leaf discs were transformed with a plasmid, pBIPTA, containing the selectable marker neomycin phosphotransferase gene (nptII) and Pinellia ternata agglutinin gene (pta) via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Thirty-two independent transgenic tobacco plants were regenerated.

The cDNAs of snowdrop lectin mature protein and its precursor protein, GNA12 and GNA34, were inserted downstream of a 35S promoter with a double enhancer and a "omega" fragment of TMV-RNA cDNA in the binary vector pBin438, or the phloem-specific CoYMV promoter in the vector pBcop1, respectively,

The Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) is synthesized as a preproprotein. To corroborate the role of the different targeting peptides in the topogenesis of GNA and related proteins, different constructs were made whereby both the complete original GNA gene and different truncated sequences were

Glycosylation is a co- and/or post-translational protein modification that generates enormous structural diversity among glycoproteins. In this study, immobilized lectins were used to capture glycoproteins with different glycan profiles from Drosophila melanogaster extracts. On the basis of previous

Dementia pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are reaching epidemic proportions, yet they are not successfully managed by effective symptomatic treatments. Only five drugs have been developed to alleviate cognitive symptoms, and more effective and safe treatments are needed for both the

The adoption of pest-resistant transgenic plants to reduce yield losses and decrease pesticide use has been successful. To achieve the goal of controlling both chewing and sucking pests in a given transgenic plant, we generated transgenic tobacco, Arabidopsis, and rice plants expressing the fusion
