Extraction of plant proteins using typical extraction buffers leaves insoluble debris that cannot be investigated by conventional 2-DE technologies. In this paper, we present a scalable, off-line procedure for extraction of Arabidopsis thaliana homogenates that can be used in combination with both
A protocol for the isolation of functional thylakoids from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves was developed. The critical factor in obtaining active, coupled and stable preparation is the inclusion of EDTA and EGTA in the grinding buffer. Preparations were characterized with respect to the whole or partial
Encouraging more students to embrace plant science research is a global priority. We have evolved a second year undergraduate course from a standard lecture/practical format into an innovative research-led learning design that gives students hands-on experience of cutting-edge plant science research
We previously identified the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC)-like gene, a MADS-box transcription factor gene that belongs to Arabidopsis thaliana FLC clade, in apple (Malus x domestica), and its expression in dormant flower buds is positively correlated with cumulative cold exposure. To elucidate the role
MicroRNAs form an essential class of post-transcriptional gene regulator of eukaryotic species, and play critical parts in development and disease and stress responses. MicroRNAs may originate from various genomic loci, have structural characteristics, and appear in canonical or modified forms,
