ATurnip yellow mosaic virusinfection system in Arabidopsis suspension cell culture

A Turnip yellow mosaic virus infection system in Arabidopsis suspension cell culture.

Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a positive-strand RNA virus able to infect Arabidopsis thaliana. To establish a TYMV infection system in Arabidopsis cell culture, TYMV replicons with the capsid protein gene replaced by a reporter gene expressing the Sh ble protein conferring zeocin resistance were used to transfect Arabidopsis cells. Zeocin-resistant Arabidopsis calli were used to generate...

Ascorbate biosynthesis in Arabidopsis cell suspension culture.

The biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) in an Arabidopsis (L.) Heynh. cell suspension culture was studied by quantifying the effects of incubation with a range of potential biosynthetic precursors, analogs, and inhibitors on the intracellular levels of reduced and oxidized forms of L-AA. Our results support the recently published biosynthetic pathway of L-AA from L-galactose (G.L. Wheeler, M...

Early transcriptional defense responses in Arabidopsis cell suspension culture under high-light conditions.

The early transcriptional defense responses and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cell suspension culture (ACSC), containing functional chloroplasts, were examined at high light (HL). The transcriptional analysis revealed that most of the ROS markers identified among the 449 transcripts with significant differential expression were transcripts specif...

Cell Suspension Culture, Somatic Embryo Genetic and Synthetic Seed Production in Different Cultivars of Potato

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: In order to overcome the contamination problems, as well as the usual method of increasing potato through micro tuber, micropropagation has been considered through tissue culture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the callus induction and embryogenesis in potato cultivars using leaf explants. Material and Methods: For this purpose, micropropa...
