Transcription of the parsley pr2 gene, encoding pathogenesis-related protein 2 (PR2), is rapidly stimulated by fungal or bacterial elicitors. Previous work has revealed a 125-bp region within the pr2 promoter; this region encompasses all important cis-regulatory elements required for fungal elicitor-mediated expression. We now report the identification of a functionally relevant 11-bp DNA motif...

Chalcone synthase (CHS) catalyzes the committed enzymatic step in flavonoid biosynthesis. In parsley (Petroselinum crispum), CHS is encoded by a single gene locus. Transcriptional activation of the gene in response to UV-containing white light has been demonstrated. Analysis of the CHS gene promoter by in vivo footprinting revealed four short sequences, designated Boxes I, II, III, and IV, whic...

Treatment of parsley cell cultures with a fungal elicitor triggered the induction of a lipoxygenase isoform which may be involved in the de novo synthesis of defence-response inducers, such as jasmonic acid or 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid.

The University of Illinois’ Graduate School of Library and Information Science (uiucGSLIS) participated in TREC’s knowledge base acceleration (KBA) track in 2013. Specifically, we submitted runs for the cumulative citation recommendation (CCR) task. CCR is a type of document filtering. The use-case is that our user U is an editor of a node T in a knowledge base such as Wikipedia (for example, t...
