Mutant expression in diploid potatoes

Genetic analysis of isozyme variants in diploid and tetraploid potatoes.

Genetic segregations for six enzyme-coding genes were studied in diploid and tetraploid progenies obtained from various Solanum species. The loci identified are Prx-2, Prx-3, Prx-5, Mdh-1, Pgi-1 and Sdh-1. Prx-2 and Prx-3 were found to be linked; alleles at these loci segregated concomitantly in most of the diploid progenies. The putative homologous loci in tomato, Prx-2 and Prx-3, have also be...

Primary root growth, tissue expression and co-expression analysis of a receptor kinase mutant in Arabidopsis

There is no functional annotation for the majority of the several hundreds of receptor-like kinases in plants. A direct way of inferring the function of these proteins is to study the phenotype that results from loss of function mutants such as T-DNA mutant lines. In this research a function (phenotype) to At2g37050 gene that encodes a receptor like kinase in Arabidopsis T-DNA line was...

The Study of SOS Genes Expression in Mutant Barley Root under Salt Stress

Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors reducing crop yield. SOS signaling is one of the significant pathways that regulate ion homeostasis and it has the important role in mechanism of plant resistance to environmental stresses such as salt stress. Roots are the first organ of plants exposed to salt, so the role of genes involved in this pathway and their relation to salt tolerance w...

Hot Potatoes in AF

Western society is at the brink of an atrial fibrillation (AF) explosion. Already AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide; in the US alone the estimated prevalence in 2010 was between 2.7 to 6.1 million, and this is expected to rise to between 5.6 and 12 million by 2050 [1]. The source of this increase is multifactorial and our current ability to manage the condition is often subop...
