Journal ArticleDOI
Heat and Drought Stresses in Crops and Approaches for Their Mitigation.
TL;DR: Recent progress in key areas relevant to plant drought and heat tolerance are presented and an overview and implications of physiological, biochemical and genetic aspects in the context of heat and drought are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved high-level constitutive foreign gene expression in plants using an AMV RNA4 untranslated leader sequence
TL;DR: Elevated expression attributable to the AMV leader sequence was independent of abundance of the corresponding AMV- gus transcript, suggesting a post-transcriptional mechanism of action in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene expression analysis of flax seed development.
Prakash Venglat,Daoquan Xiang,Shuqing Qiu,Sandra L. Stone,Chabane Tibiche,Dustin Cram,Michelle Alting-Mees,Jacek Nowak,Sylvie Cloutier,Michael K. Deyholos,Faouzi Bekkaoui,Andrew G. Sharpe,Edwin Wang,Gordon Rowland,Gopalan Selvaraj,Raju Datla +15 more
TL;DR: A foundational database of expressed sequences and collection of plasmid clones that comprise even low-expressed genes such as those encoding transcription factors are developed and will allow for evolutionary studies as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Solid-Phase Immunoassay for Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Using Cycling Probe Technology
Whalley K. Fong,Zora D Modrusan,John P. Mcnevin,Johanna Marostenmaki,Ben Zin,Faouzi Bekkaoui +5 more
TL;DR: A Cycling Probe Technology (CPT) assay with a lateral-flow device (strip) was developed for the detection of the mecA gene from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cultures and showed a 99.4% sensitivity and a 100% specificity compared to the results of PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of abscisic acid and analogues on the maturation of white spruce (Picea glauca) somatic embryos
TL;DR: Somatic embryo-competent cultures of white spruce were grown on (±)-abscisic acid and three analogues known to be biotransformed by intact plants into ABA, and ABA between 8 and 12 μM most efficiently promoted embryo maturation.
