(2010). The length distributions of non-coding and coding sequences in relation to gene expression: A study on Arabidopsis thaliana.

Cucumber metal transport protein MTP8 confers the increased tolerance to Mn when expressed in yeast and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Aspterric Acid, 6-Hydroxymellein, Arabidopsis thaliana, Aspergillus terreus Aspterric acid (1) and 6-hydroxymellein (2), inhibitors of pollen development in Arabidopsis thaliana, have been isolated from the fungus Aspergillus terreus. 1 and 2 inhibited the pollen development at concentrations of 38 and 52 microM, respectively. The microscopic examination of pollen development suggested that the...

In higher plants, peroxisomes have been believed to play a pivotal role in three metabolic pathways, which are lipid breakdown, photorespiration and H2O2-detoxificaton. Recently, significant progress in the study of plant peroxisomes was established by forward-/reverse-genetics and post-genomic approaches using Arabidopsis thaliana, the first higher plant to have its entire genome sequenced. Th...

Following completion of Arabidopsis thaliana sequencing projects, multiple resistance gene analogues (RGAs) have been identified. In this work a review of the current state of knowledge available in protein databases and scientific articles is presented. Putative resistance genes were identified by using BLAST searches as well as HMM fingerprints (the latter to infer existence of characteristic...

The effects of cerium and lanthanum on the vegetative and reproductive growth of Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated. Addition of cerium (III) nitrate (0.5-50μM) and/or lanthanum nitrate (0.5-50μM) to the culture medium and the potting mix showed varied results. Pot trials were done with uniform conditions for light, water and temperature. Factors examined include root length, height, number...

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is an economically important infecting a broad range of arable and vegetable crops many wild plant species. It also particular scientific interest as it has the broadest host any potyviruses, infects dicotyledonous monocotyledonous plants, transmitted by (>89) aphid species best adapted potyvirus to Arabidopsis thaliana. For these reasons been particularly well studie...

This data article contains data related to the research article titled Proteomic analysis of chloroplast biogenesis (clb) mutants uncovers novel proteins potentially involved in the development of Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts (de Luna-Valdez et al., 2014) [1]. This research article describes the 2-D PAGE-based proteomic analysis of wild-type and four mutant lines (cla1-1, clb2, clb5 and cl...

Thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of most animal intracellular SERCA-type Ca pumps present in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum, was originally isolated from the roots of the Mediterranean plant Thapsia gargancia L. Here, we demonstrate that this root-derived compound is capable of altering root gravitropism in Arabidopsis thaliana. Thapsigargin concentrations as low as 0.1 μM alter root ...
