We previously reported that the type II secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) promoter from positions (-326 to +20) ([-326;+20] promoter) is negatively regulated by two adjacent regulatory elements, C (-210 to -176) and D (-247 to -210). This study examines in greater detail the way in which this negative regulation operates. Successive 5' deletions of the [-326;+20] type II sPLA2 promoter indicate...

The Arabidopsis PAD4 gene was previously shown to be required for synthesis of camalexin in response to infection by the virulent bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv maculicola ES4326 but not in response to challenge by the non-host fungal pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum. In this study, we show that pad4 mutants exhibit defects in defense responses, including camalexin synthesis and patho...

The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of carboxylate group functionalized Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT−COOH) adsorbent for the removal of Methyl orange (MO) textile dye from aqueous solutions. The effects of pH, shaking time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied; the contact time to obtain equilibrium at 298 ˚K was fixed at 25 min. The effect of te...
