Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference in Agrobacterium rhizogenes‐transformed roots of Arabidopsis and Medicago truncatula
Erik Limpens,Javier Ramos,Carolien Franken,Vered Raz,Bert Compaan,Henk Franssen,Ton Bisseling,René Geurts +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented which shows that RNAi is cell autonomous in the root epidermis, and it is shown that RNA silencing does not spread systemically to non-co-transformed (lateral) roots and only inefficiently to the non-transgenic shoot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate map of Medicago truncatula root nodules
Ting Ting Xiao,Stefan Schilderink,Sjef Moling,Eva E. Deinum,Eva Kondorosi,Henk Franssen,Olga Kulikova,Andreas Niebel,Ton Bisseling +8 more
TL;DR: A nodule fate map was produced that showed, among other things, that intracellular release of rhizobia in primordium cells and meristem daughter cells are regulated in a different manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of organelle-like N2-fixing symbiosomes in legume root nodules is controlled by DMI2
Erik Limpens,Rossana Mirabella,Elena Fedorova,Carolien Franken,Henk Franssen,Ton Bisseling,René Geurts +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the genes, which are essential for initiating nodule formation, are also actively transcribed in mature Medicago truncatula nodules in the region where symbiosome formation occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of phytohormone response by a peptide encoded by ENOD40 of legumes and a nonlegume.
Karin van de Sande,Katharina Pawlowski,Inge Czaja,Ursula Wieneke,Jeff Schell,Jürgen Schmidt,Richard Walden,M. Matvienko,Joan Wellink,Ab van Kammen,Henk Franssen,Ton Bisseling +11 more
TL;DR: The gene ENOD40 is expressed during early stages of legume nodule development and appears to act as plant growth regulators, while a homolog was isolated from tobacco, which encodes an oligopeptide of about 10 amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homologous sequences in non-structural proteins from cowpea mosaic virus and picornaviruses.
Henk Franssen,Jack A. M. Leunissen,Rob Goldbach,George P. Lomonossoff,George P. Lomonossoff,David Zimmern,David Zimmern +6 more
TL;DR: Computer analyses have revealed sequence homology between two non‐structural proteins encoded by cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), and corresponding proteins encoding by two picornaviruses, poliovirus and foot‐and‐mouth disease virus.
