Jasmonic acid is an important signaling molecule in plants that regulates a wide variety of cellular responses including the responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The external application of jasmonic acid has been shown to increase the accumulation of the monomeric terpenoid indole alkaloids, TIAs, in Catharanthus roseus seedlings and hairy root cultures (1-3). Jasmonic acid regulates the e...

Emerging antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human's health in the 21st century. Understanding and combating this issue requires a full and unbiased assessment of the current status on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes and their correlation with each other and bacterial groups. In aquatic environments that are known reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance genes, we were...

In order to understand the key metabolic pathways and key genes involved in the latex biosynthesis process in rubber tree, we studied the differential gene expression between latex and leaves of rubber tree by cDNA microarray. The significant analysis of microarray (SAM) method was used, and genes that were differentially expressed in the latex and leaves of rubber tree were selected and subjec...
