During infection, plants and bacteria participate in a dynamic interaction in the apoplast. Secreted hydrolases are among the prominent players in plant defence and are therefore targets of virulence factors. Using Nicotiana ...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) designated as ZNP-4, isolated from the rhizosphere of Ziziphus nummularia, was identified as Enterobacter cloacae following 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The isolated strain ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age related progressive neurodegenerative disorder. One of the reasons for Alzheimer's neuropathology is the generation of large aggregates of Aß42 that are toxic in nature and induce oxidative ...

During barley germination, the aleurone layer secretes most of the enzymes required to degrade the endosperm, many of which are yet to be characterized. We used activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) to detect a range of ...

In the present study, Acutodesmus obliquus strain PSV2 was isolated from a textile and dyeing industrial site and investigated as a cost effective and potential adsorbent for Acid red 66 dye. Batch kinetic experiments were ...

The root system of potato is made up of adventitious roots (AR) that form at the base of a sprout once it emerges from the mother tuber. By definition, AR originate from dormant preformed meristems, or from cells neighboring ...

Two new bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes, [Ir(F2ppy)2(L)] and [Ir(ppy)2(L)], where F2ppy = 2-(2′,4′-difluoro)phenylpyridine, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine and L = 1,2-((pyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol, have been designed ...

Sorghum is one of the most recalcitrant species for transformation. Considering the time and effort required for stable transformation in sorghum, establishing a transient system to screen the efficiency and full functionality ...

Cell polarity and cell migration both depend on pseudopodia and lamellipodia formation. These are regulated by coordinated signaling acting through G-protein coupled receptors and kinases such as PKB/AKT and SGK, as well ...

Exposure of 25 °C-grown, seven-day-old rice seedlings to mild heat stress of 40 °C for 24 h in dark did not cause any change in protein or pigment content of the thylakoids, but produced major disorganization of chloroplast ...
