Arbuscular mycorrhiza induces gene expression of the apoplastic invertase LIN6 in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) roots.
Extracellular invertases are suggested to play a crucial role in the arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis to fulfil the increased sink function of the mycorrhizal root and the supply of the obligate biotrophic AM fungus with hexoses. In tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), LIN6 represents an apoplastic invertase which is described as a key enzyme in establishing and maintaining sink metabolism. In...
متن کاملImage Analysis of the Growth of Globodera pallida and Meloidogyne incognita on Transgenic Tomato Roots Expressing Cystatins.
An approach based on image analysis that enables rapid collection and analysis of nematode size and shape during growth is reported. This technique has been applied to assess Meloidogyne incognita and Globodera pallida during their development over 35 and 42 days, respectively, on transgenic tomato roots expressing the wild-type rice cystatin Oc-I or an engineered variant, Oc-IAD86. Morphometri...
متن کاملOral immunization of mice using transgenic tomato fruit expressing VP1 protein from enterovirus 71.
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) causes seasonal epidemics of hand-foot-and-mouth disease associated with fatal neurological complications in young children, and several major outbreaks have occurred recently. This study developed an effective antiviral agent by transforming the gene for VP1 protein, a previously defined epitope and also a coat protein of EV71, into tomato plant. VP1 protein was first fus...
متن کاملTransgenic tomato plants expressing the antigen gene PfCP‐2.9 of Plasmodium falciparum
The objective of this work was to obtain transgenic tomato plants expressing the PfCP‐2.9 protein (a chimera of the antigens MSP1 and AMA1 of Plasmodium falciparum). Cotyledons of seven‐day‐old tomatoes, cultivar Summers, were transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transgenic expression in the T0 plants was verified in the DNA extracted from fruits. PCR analysis was used to test the presenc...
متن کاملEvaluation of transgenic tomato plants expressing an additional phytoene synthase in a fruit-specific manner.
Phytoene synthase from the bacterium Erwinia uredovora (crtB) has been overexpressed in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Ailsa Craig). Fruit-specific expression was achieved by using the tomato polygalacturonase promoter, and the CRTB protein was targeted to the chromoplast by the tomato phytoene synthase-1 transit sequence. Total fruit carotenoids of primary transformants (T(0)) were ...
