Transcriptome analysis of soybean leaves response to manganese toxicity

Transcriptome Analysis of Cytokinin Response in Tomato Leaves

Tomato is one of the most economically and agriculturally important Solanaceous species and vegetable crops, serving as a model for examination of fruit biology and compound leaf development. Cytokinin is a plant hormone linked to the control of leaf development and is known to regulate a wide range of genes including many transcription factors. Currently there is little known of the leaf trans...

transcriptome analysis of tobacco in response to ralstonia solanacearum infection

one of the best strategies to control bacterial wilt caused by ralstonia solanacearum (smith) is generally based on breeding resistant cultivars. the information obtained from the expression of plant defense genes will provide new insight for improving plant resistance against pathogens. this study was to identify inducible genes under defense no death (dnd) reaction of tobacco (nicotiana tabac...

Transcriptome response to glyphosate in sensitive and resistant soybean.

The majority of soybeans planted in the United States are resistant to glyphosate due to introduction of a gene encoding for a glyphosate-insensitive 5-enolypyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. Gene expression profiling was conducted using cDNA microarrays to address questions related to potential secondary effects of glyphosate. When glyphosate-sensitive plants were treated with glyphosate, ...

Relevance to manganese toxicity

Manganese shares the uniport mechanism of mitochondrial calcium influx, accumulates in mitochondria and is cleared only very slowly from brain. Using dual-label isotope techniques, we have investigated both Mn2" and Ca2" mitochondrial efflux kinetics. We report that (1) there is no significant Na+-dependent Mn2" efflux from brain mitochondria; (2) Mn2" inhibits both Na+-dependent and Na+-indepe...
