Separation of cis elements responsive to ethylene, fruit development, and...
AbstractThe E8 gene is expressed at a high level during fruit ripening, and is transcriptionally activated by ethylene. We have identified a 428 bp fragment of the E8 5'-flanking region, from -1528 to...

AbstractThe amylose-extender (Ae) gene encoding starch-branching enzyme IIb (SBEIIb) in maize is predominantly expressed in endosperm and embryos during kernel development. A maize genomic DNA fragment...
View ArticleIdentification of Mutator insertional mutants of starch-branching enzyme 1...
AbstractStarch-branching enzymes (SBE) alter starch structure by breaking an α-1,4 linkage and attaching the reducing end of the new chain to a glucan chain by an α1,6 bond. In maize, three isoforms of...

AbstractComposite particles prepared by spray pyrolysis of aqueous solution of AgNO3 and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O with 10 vol%H2-N2 were characterized and compared with the particles similarly prepared from their...
View ArticleProtein Kinases and Phosphatases for Stress Signal Transduction in Plants
SummaryAdverse environmental conditions that threaten plant growth and development are known as environmental stresses. To survive stress, plants employ a complex set of distinct signaling pathways...
View ArticleConstitutive overexpression of the calcium sensor CBL5 confers osmotic or...
AbstractCalcium serves as a critical messenger in many adaptation and developmental processes. Cellular calcium signals are detected and transmitted by sensor molecules such as calcium-binding...
View ArticleSimple route for the detection of Escherichia coli using quantum dots
AbstractWe have demonstrated a simple route for the detection of Escherichia coli using well plates with quantum dot (QD) fluorescent labels. The genetically engineered E. coli strain DH5α, containing...
View ArticleThe CBL–CIPK Network for Decoding Calcium Signals in Plants
AbstractLike all other eukaryotes, plants utilize calcium as an important secondary messenger for signal transduction. Among plants, calcium signals are particularly important for triggering...

AbstractThe effects of compatibilizers and hydrolysis on the mechanical, morphological and rheological properties of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM)/poly(lactic acid)...
View ArticleStress responses mediated by the CBL calcium sensors in plants
AbstractCalcium ions (Ca2+) are involved as second messenger in plant responses to a broad array of environmental stimuli, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, understanding Ca2+-signaling...
