Transformation of Agrobacterium Using Electroporation

Detlef Weigel, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: This protocol describes a method for transforming Agrobacterium with plasmid DNA using electroporation in a manner similar to that commonly used for Escherichia coli, where the transformation efficiency for Agrobacteria is lower than that for E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of a Plant NLR Complex through Heteromeric Association with an Autoimmune Risk Variant of Another NLR

TL;DR: It is shown that the risk variants of DM1 and DM2d NLRs signal through the same pathway that is activated when plant NLRs recognize non-self elicitors, suggesting that activity of heteromeric NLR signaling complexes depends on the sum of activation potentials of partner NLRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the post-glacial spread of human commensal Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that these ‘relicts' occupied post-glacial Eurasia first and were later replaced by the invading ‘non-relicts', which expanded through the east–west axis of Eurasia, leaving traces of admixture in the north and south of the species range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the S-Locus Region in Arabidopsis Relatives

TL;DR: It is found that duplication, gene conversion, and positive selection have been important factors in the evolution of these two genes and appear to contribute to the generation of new recognition specificities.
