In July 2018, a sample of lavender var. Grosso (Lavandula × intermedia 'Grosso') from Miami County, OH was received by The Ohio State University Vegetable Pathology Laboratory in Wooster. Lavender plants were field-grown in sandy clay soil with plastic mulch under drip irrigation.
BACKGROUND
Characterization of plant terpene synthases is typically done by production of recombinant enzymes in Escherichia coli. This is often difficult due to solubility and codon usage issues. Furthermore, plant terpene synthases which are targeted to the plastids, such as diterpene synthases,
Human vitronectin (hVN) is a glycoprotein that functions as a cell adhesion molecule and a regulator of coagulation in blood plasma and the extracellular matrix. In vitro, hVN is added to serum-free media in order to promote the adhesion of animal cells to tissue culture surfaces and the
The effect of the 5'-dephosphorylated 2',5'-adenylate trimer and its 2',5'-trimer core analogs on the inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) replication was determined in tobacco leaf discs, protoplasts, and whole tobacco plants, using infectivity tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A
Carotenoids are important components of plant antioxidant systems, which protect photosystems from photooxidative destruction during ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure. The influence of carotenoids on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of plants has rarely been studied. In this study, tobacco (Nicotiana
A novel procedure employing mild sonication for transformation of plant protoplasts is described. Transient expression of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene in protoplasts of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was obtained by a brief exposure of the
