Protocol: a highly sensitive RT-PCR method for detection and quantification of microRNAs

Erika Varkonyi-Gasic, +4 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an end-point and real-time looped RT-PCR procedure was proposed to detect miRNAs from as little as 20 pg of plant tissue total RNA and from total RNA isolated from 0.1 μl of phloem sap.

Protocol : A highly sensitive RT-PCR method for detection and quantification of microRNAs

Erika Varkonyi-Gasic, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Using this assay, it is demonstrated that miRNAs are differentially expressed in the phloem sap and the surrounding vascular tissue and an alternative real-time PCR assay is developed that can further improve specificity when detecting low abundant mi RNAs.
PatentDOI

A systemic small rna signaling system in plants

William J. Lucas, +3 more
- 17 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a polynucleotide sequence encoding a component of the protein machinery involved in small RNA trafficking, Cucurbita maxima PHLOEM SMALL RNA-BINDING PROTEIN1 (CmPSRB 1), and corresponding polypeptide sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

FLOWERING LOCUS T Protein May Act as the Long-Distance Florigenic Signal in the Cucurbits

Ming-Kuem Lin, +12 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: Testing whether long-distance movement of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) mRNA or FT is required for floral induction showed consistent with FT functioning as a component of the florigenic signaling system in the cucurbits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional diversification of the potato R2R3 MYB anthocyanin activators AN1, MYBA1, and MYB113 and their interaction with basic helix-loop-helix cofactors

Yuhui Liu, +11 more
- 01 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: Evidence of the diversification and interaction of anthocyanin-related MYB activators and basic helix-loop-helix cofactors, which regulate anthochenin biosynthesis in the potato tuber, are reported.
