In this study, a cDNA of ICE1 (inducer of CBF expression 1) gene, named BcICE1, was isolated from Brassica campestris 'Longyou 6'. The deduced protein has 499 amino acids containing a typical bHLH domain and is highly identical with AtICE1 (85.9%) from Arabidopsis thaliana. BcICE1 is located in the
BACKGROUND
Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses) are a major limiting factor for the production of numerous dicotyledonous crops throughout the world. Begomoviruses differ in the number of components that make up their genomes and association with satellites, and yet they cause
Plants show great potential for producing recombinant proteins in a cost-effective manner. Many strategies have therefore been employed to express high levels of recombinant proteins in plants. Although foreign domains are fused to target proteins for high expression or as an affinity tag for
Plant activators, including acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), are chemical compounds that stimulate plant defense responses to pathogens. ASM treatment inhibits infection by a variety of plant viruses, however, the mechanisms of this broad-spectrum and strong effect remain poorly understood. We
Plant disease resistance (R) proteins that confer resistance to viruses recognize viral gene products with diverse functions, including viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs). The P0 protein from poleroviruses is a VSR that targets the ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) protein for degradation, thereby disrupting
The efficacy of tobacco biochar (TB) alone and in combined with mineral additives: Ca-hydroxide (CH), Ca-bentonite (CB) and natural zeolite (NZ), on immobilization of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn, via reduce its (bio) availability to plants were investigated. The soils were collected from Tongguan contaminated
As feeding by the tobacco specialist Manduca sexta L. is known to result in significantly higher jasmonate (JA) concentrations in Nicotiana plants than do mechanical simulations of the larval damage, we investigated whether M. sexta, which is known to rapidly consume large quantities of leaf
Transgenic tobacco plants expressing a stress responsive gene BoRS1, isolated from Brassica oleracea var. acephala, under the control of the 35S promoter of the Cauliflower mosaic virus were produced. Some plants were further used to test the effect of high level BoRS1 expression on drought stress
Translation of foreign mRNAs is enhanced by a cis-acting derivative (omega') of the 5'-leader sequence (omega) of tobacco mosaic virus RNA (vulgare strain). To explain this effect we have conducted several experiments in vitro. 1. The presence of various 5'-terminal sequences, including omega', did
Plant peroxidases play a major role in lignin formation and wound healing and are believed to be involved in auxin catabolism and defense to pathogen attack. The function of the anionic peroxidase isozymes is best understood in tobacco. These isozymes catalyze the formation of the lignin polymer and
Infectious clones of Korean turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates KIH1 and HJY1 share 88.1% genomic nucleotides and 96.4% polyprotein amino acid identity, and they induce systemic necrosis or mild mosaic, respectively, in Nicotiana benthamiana. Chimeric constructs between these isolates
The coat protein (CP) gene of turnip mosaic potyvirus isolate ESC8 (TuMV-ESC8) was cloned and sequenced. Comparisons of the 867-nucleotide (nt) CP region with those of 11 TuMV isolates showed 86.7-89.3% nucleotide identity and 92.4-95.5% amino acid identity. The CP gene was cloned into a plant
Infectious clones were generated from 17 new Korean radish isolates of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that all new isolates, and three previously characterized Korean radish isolates, belong to the basal-BR group (indicating that the pathotype can infect both
We assessed the efficacy of Ca-bentonite (CB) alone and combined with Ca-hydroxide (CH), tobacco biochar (TB), and zeolite (ZL) aiming to immobilize Cu and Pb and decrease their bioavailability and uptake by pak choi followed by maize in a mining contaminated soil. The CB alone was able to decrease
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in plant development. There is increasing evidence that changed expression of miRNAs in virus-infected plants contributes to the development of viral symptoms. Here, we analysed the altered expression of miRNAs of Nicotiana benthamiana in response to Potato
