Alginate Oligosaccharide (AOS) is a natural biological carbohydrate extracted from seaweed. In our study, Arabidopsis thaliana was used to evaluate the AOS-induced resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000). Resistance was vitally enhanced at 25 mg/L in wild type (WT), showing
Application of the protoplast culture method developed for Brassica protoplasts to protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana has increased the opportunities for interspecific hybridizations involving Arabidopsis. A more-efficient and much-simpler method was established compared to the earlier-reported
Microbial immobilization can be used to prepare encapsulated inoculants. Here, we characterize and describe the preparation of Ca-alginate-perlite microbeads loaded with cells of plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas putida A (ATCC 12633), for their future application as agricultural inoculants. The
Arabidopsis thaliana shoot tips were successfully cryopreserved using encapsulation-dehydration cryopreservation methods. Between one and seven shoot tips were encapsulated within 4 mm calcium-alginate beads. Beads were formed in the presence of 2 M glycerol + 0.4 M sucrose. The time required to

An efficient technique was developed for the isolation, culture, transformation and regeneration of protoplasts derived from auxin conditioned Arabidopsis root cultures. On an average 30% of root protoplasts underwent cell division in liquid culture and formed somatic embryolike structures which
We are exploiting the broad host range of the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA14 to elucidate the molecular basis of bacterial virulence in plants, nematodes, insects and mice. In this report, we characterize the role that two PA14 gene products, MucD and AlgD, play in
An efficient and fast regeneration system from cotyledon protoplasts was established for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions C24, Columbia, and Wassilewskija. Culture conditions and media compositions were optimised for the development of protoplasts embedded in thin alginate layers. Unexpectedly, the
Protoplasts (2 x 10(7)/g fresh wt) were isolated from leaves of A. thaliana ecotype estland, with a viability of more than 90%. Protoplasts cultured in calcium alginate beads or layers showed division while culture in liquid or agarose beads failed to elicit any division. Effect of culture density
Wall-associated kinase 1 (WAK1) is a transmembrane protein containing a cytoplasmic Ser/Thr kinase domain and an extracellular domain in contact with the pectin fraction of the plant cell walls. In order to characterize further the interaction of WAK1 with pectin, a 564 bp DNA sequence corresponding
