Trichoderma is a genus of filamentous fungi with highly beneficial species for use in agriculture due to its ability combat disease, increase growth, tolerance abiotic stresses and resistance biotic plants. To do this, must effectively colonize the roots plant, being able overcome existing plant defenses. In this sense, glucosinolates (GSLs) are group secondary metabolites present cruciferous d...

The objective of this research is to identify Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. Multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of PAPs isol...

manipulation of stress related transcription factors to improve plant stress tolerance is a major goal of current biotechnology researches. myc2 gene encodes a key stress-related transcription factor involved in jasmonate (ja) and abscisic acid (aba) signaling pathways in arabidopsis. brassica napus, as a globally important oilseed crop, is a close relative of arabidopsis.  in the present study...

AthaMap generates a map for cis-regulatory sequences for the whole Arabidopsis thaliana genome. AthaMap was initially developed by matrix-based detection of putative transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) mostly determined from random binding site selection experiments. Now, also experimentally verified TFBS have been included for 48 different Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors (TF)....

Nucleolar dominance is an epigenetic phenomenon in which one parental set of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes is silenced in an interspecific hybrid. In natural Arabidopsis suecica, an allotetraploid (amphidiploid) hybrid of Arabidopsis thaliana and Cardaminopsis arenosa, the A. thaliana rRNA genes are repressed. Interestingly, A. thaliana rRNA gene silencing is variable in synthetic Arabidopsis suec...
