Nine new species in Australian Nicotiana section Suaveolentes are described, including N. clarksonii M.W.Chase & Christenh., erytheia latifolia latzii M.W.Chase, R.W.Jobson gibbosa D.D.Andrew J.J.Bruhl, olens praecipitis K.Durham, karara Christenh. and bungonia Taseski. Some have been known from herbarium specimens for a long time, but their distinction other concepts was unsuspected until DNA ...

Experiments using different species of the plant Nicotiana and strains of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens showed that teratoma formation from crown galls was dependent on the combination of bacterial Ti plasmid and host plant used.

Abstract Plants can be used to recombinantly produce high-quality biopharmaceuticals, such as therapeutic proteins and vaccines, also known plant molecular farming (PMF). Recent advances in engineering places PMF amongst the most innovative manufacturing technologies that reduce cost shorten production timeline. State-of-the-art uses a dual-approach strategy optimize generation of products, nam...

Ferredoxin-1 (Fed-1) mRNA contains an internal light response element (iLRE) that destabilizes mRNA when light-grown plants are placed in darkness. mRNAs containing this element dissociate from polyribosomes in the leaves of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants transferred to the dark for 2 d. Here, we report in vivo labeling experiments with a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase mRNA f...

Resistance conferred by the Mi-1 gene from Solanum peruvianum is effective and widely used for limiting root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) yield loss in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), but the resistance is ineffective at soil temperatures above 28 degrees C. Previously, we mapped the heat-stable resistance gene Mi-9 in Solanum arcanum accession LA2157 to the short arm of chromosome 6, in a g...
