The regulation of abscission has a significant impact on fruit yield and quality. Thus, understanding the mechanisms underlying abscission, particularly identifying key genes, is critical for improving crop breeding cultivation practices. Here, to explore genes involved in litchi fruitlet two closest homologs AGAMOUS-like 15/18 (LcAGL15 LcAGL18) were identified. During process, LcAGL15 expressi...

Modular operators can be regarded as maneuvers of platform development. In the context where system interfaces can be standardized and system components can be developed and marketed by a group of technologically and commercially interdependent firms, direct and indirect network effects are crucial to a platform’s success. In this article, we synthesize theories of modularity and network econom...

La bacteriosis vascular de la yuca, causada por bacteria gram negativa Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis (Xpm), anteriormente conocida como axonopodis manihotis, es principal enfermedad bacteriana que compromete su producción. Con meta generar una resistencia durable y amplio espectro a posible explotar los mecanismos naturales presentes en plantas no-hospedero. Arabidopsis planta modelo exten...

The root system of the plant is essential for taking up water and nutrients, serves as an anchor organ where plant-microorganism interaction takes place. When Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 colonizes plants, it halts growth primary stimulates development lateral roots hairs which support vegetative, green biomass. Target Rapamycin (TOR) a highly conser...

Plant resistance (R) proteins provide a robust surveillance system to defend against potential pathogens. Despite their importance in plant innate immunity, relatively few of the approximately 170 R proteins in Arabidopsis have well-characterized resistance specificity. In order to identify the R protein responsible for recognition of the Pseudomonas syringae type III secreted effector (T3SE) H...

The future bioinformatics needs of the Arabidopsis community as well as those of other scientific communities that depend on Arabidopsis resources were discussed at a pair of recent meetings held by the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering Committee and the North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee. There are extensive tools and resources for information storage, curation, and retrieval of Ar...

Experimental infections of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) with genomically characterized plant pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae have facilitated the dissection of canonical eukaryotic defence pathways and parasite virulence factors. Plants are also attacked by herbivorous insects, and the development of an ecologically relevant genetic model herbivore that feeds on Arabidopsis will en...

We conducted the Resist Tubule space experiment to clarify role of cell wall in resistance inflorescence stems Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) gravitational acceleration Cell Biology Experiment Facility on Kibo Module International Space Station. The rigidity was lower under microgravity conditions than at 1g, particularly basal region, which plays a central supporting entire plant presence ...
