Comprehensive transcriptional profiling of NaCl-stressed Arabidopsis roots reveals novel classes of responsive genes

Abstract Background Roots are an attractive system for genomic and post-genomic studies of NaCl responses, due to their primary importance to agriculture, and because of their relative structural and biochemical simplicity.Excellent genomic resources have been established for the study of Arabidopsis roots, however, a comprehensive microarray analy

Interstitial Arabidopsis-Type Telomeric Repeats in Asteraceae

Tandem repeats of telomeric-like motifs at intra-chromosomal regions, known as interstitial telomeric repeats (ITR), have drawn attention as potential markers of structural changes, which might convey information about evolutionary relationships if preserved through time.Building on our previous work that reported outstanding ITR polymorphisms in t

Extracellular vesicles derived from PPRV-infected cells enhance signaling lymphocyte activation molecular (SLAM) receptor expression and facilitate virus infection.

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is an important pathogen that seriously influences the productivity of small ruminants worldwide.PPRV is lymphotropic in nature and SLAM was identified as the primary receptor for PPRV and other Morbilliviruses.Many viruses have been demonstrated Sunglasses to engage extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate
