Triclosan Disrupts SKN-1/Nrf2- Mediated Oxidative Stress Response in C. elegans and Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2017-10-03)
Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial chemical with potential endocrine-disrupting properties, may pose a risk to early embryonic development and cellular homeostasis during adulthood. Here, we show that TCS induces toxicity ...
The infection and impact of Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2017-11-30)
Based on our previous study, cereal crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) could be infected by rhizobia Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571, and form para-nodules with the induction of 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a common plant ...
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton (Gossypium arboreum) fiber early development
(2016-02-09)
TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ...
Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4)
was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular
weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ...
MicroRNA expression analysis in the cellulosic biofuel crop switchgrass (panicum virgatum) under abiotic stress
(2012-03-28)
Switchgrass has increasingly been recognized as a dedicated biofuel crop for its broad adaptation to marginal lands and high biomass. However, little is known about the basic biology and the regulatory mechanisms of gene ...
Genome-wide functional analysis of the cotton transcriptome by creating an integrated EST database
(2011-11-08)
A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ...
Effects of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on the growth, development, and microrna expression of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum)
(2012-05-11)
Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ...
Selection of reliable reference genes in caenorhabditis elegans for analysis of nanotoxicity
(2012-03-15)
Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode ...
Contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic adjustment in Halostachys caspica response to salt stress
(2015-09)
The mechanism by which plants cope with salt stress remains poorly understood. The goal of this study is to systematically investigate the contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic ...
Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Class III Peroxidases in Allotetraploid Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and their Responses to PK Deficiency
(2019-06-21)
Class III peroxidases (PODs), commonly known as secretable class III plant peroxidases, are plant-specific enzymes that play critical roles in not only plant growth and development but also the responses to biotic and ...
