[ 1 ] - Antifungal activity of recombinant rice LTP2 on some phytopathogenic fungi

Plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are members of the pathogenesis-related proteins (PR-14) and some of them exhibit activity against phytopathogenic fungi. To investigate whether rice LTP2 plays a role in antifungal activity, the coding region of an Iranian rice Ltp2 gene was cloned into expression vector pET24-d(+) and then expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta strain (DE3). The potential a...

[ 2 ] - Cloning, Overexpression and in vitro Antifungal Activity of Zea Mays PR10 Protein

Background: Plants have various defense mechanisms such as production of antimicrobial peptides, particularly pathogenesis related proteins (PR proteins). PR10 family is an essential member of this group, with antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activities.Objective: The goal of this study is to assess the antifungal activity of maize PR10 against some of fungal phytopathogens.M...

[ 3 ] - Selectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants

Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...

[ 4 ] - جداسازی، شناسایی و بررسی ساختار ژن دفنسین (Def1) تربچه خوراکی (Raphanus sativus)

امروزه مطالعات نشان داده است که گیاهان، با تولید پپتیدهای ضدقارچی به نام دفنسین ها، سبب ایجاد منافذی درغشاء سلولی قارچ مهاجم و در نتیجه خروج ترکیبات سلولی به بیرون ازغشاء، تغییر در پتانسیل غشاء و نهایتاً مرگ سلولی را منجر می شوند. هدف این تحقیق جداسازی، شناسایی و بررسی ساختار ژن Def1 تربچه خوراکی (Raphanus sativus) با کلون کردن و تعیین توالی آن است. برای این منظور پس از استخراج DNA ژنومی به روش ...
