Background: Interferons with diffrent functions such as antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory actions are effctive <span style="font-varia...

Grain yield is a polygenic trait that can be influenced by environmental factors and genetic compositions at all plant growth stages. Currently, the molecular mechanisms behind coordination of interaction between grain yield-related traits remain unknown. In this study, we characterized function four STRESS_tolerance GRAIN_LENGTH (OsSGL) Poaceae ortholog genes are transcribed into DUF1645 domai...

Heterologous protein production can be doubled by increasing the copy number of the corresponding heterologous gene. We constructed a host-vector system in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis that was able to induce copy number amplification of pKD1 plasmid-based vectors upon expression of an integrated copy of the plasmid recombinase gene. We increased the production and secretion of two heterologo...

As a member of the CLAVATA3 (CLV3)/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION (CLE) family, dodecapeptide tracheary element differentiation inhibitory factor (TDIF) has major impact on vascular development in plants. However, influence polymorphisms TDIF peptide motif activity remains poorly understood. The model plant, Arabidopsis provides fast and effective tool for assaying homologs. Five homologs from group...
