Phytoplasma induced changes in gene expression in poinsettia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phytoplasma infection causes a desirable branching phenotype in the ornamental plant Euphorbia pulcherrima by releasing apical dominance. Four E. pulcherrima genes specifically regulated during phytoplasma infection were identified using differential display of cDNA-PCR products. According to BLAST searches the possible functions of the identified genes included a histidinecontaining phosphotransmitter and a protein with similarity to an Arabidopsis thaliana protein with unknown function.

Transmission of Branch-inducing Phytoplasma PoiBI from Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) to Crown-of-thorns (E. milii)
Phytoplasma PoiBI is responsible for free branching in poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Wild. ex. Klotzsch). In this study, PoiBI was transmitted by dodder from poinsettia to crown-of-thorns (E. milii Des Moulins) in one out of ≈100 attempts, whereas grafting transmission was unsuccessful. PoiBI was shown to be viable in E. milii, as it was detected in the recipient plant and in its cuttings o...
متن کاملAssociation of morphine-induced analgesic tolerance with changes in gene expression of GluN1 and MOR1 in rat spinal cord and midbrain
Objective(s): We aimed to examine association of gene expression of MOR1 and GluN1 at mRNA level in the lumbosacral cord and midbrain with morphine tolerance in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Analgesic effects of morphine administrated intraperitoneally at doses of 0.1, 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg were examined using a hot plate test in rats with and without a history of 15 days morphine (10 mg...
متن کاملMorphine-Induced Analgesic Tolerance Effect on Gene Expression of the NMDA Receptor Subunit 1 in Rat Striatum and Prefrontal Cortex
Introduction: Morphine is a potent analgesic but its continual use results in analgesic tolerance. Mechanisms of this tolerance remain to be clarified. However, changes in the functions of μ-opioid and N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been proposed in morphine tolerance. We examined changes in gene expression of the NMDA receptor subunit 1 (NR1) at mRNA levels i...
متن کاملInvestigation of Changes in TC1 Gene Expression Influenced by Hydro alcoholic Extract of Fennel in Thyroid Cancer Induced in Mice: An Experimental Study
Background and Objectives: Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant endocrine, accounting for 1% of all cancers. One of the most effective genes in thyroid cancer is the TC1 gene. Therefore, this study aimed to determine TC1 gene expression changes under the influence of hydro alcoholic extract of fennel in mice. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, hydro alcoholic extract of ...
متن کاملMorphine-induced analgesic tolerance is associated with alteration of protein kinase Cγ and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 genes expression in rat lumbosacral cord and midbrain
Introduction: Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) and protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ) are involved in sensitization/desensitization to noxious stimuli. We aimed to examine the gene expression levels of TRPV1 and PKCγ in rat lumbosacral cord and midbrain on days 1, 4 and 8 of induction of morphine analgesic tolerance. Methods: Two groups of male Wistar rats received ...
