Journal ArticleDOI
The cellular and molecular biology of conifer embryogenesis
John Cairney,Gerald S. Pullman +1 more
TL;DR: The data imply that, in gymnosperm embryogenesis, differences in structure and development are achieved by subtle molecular interactions, control of spatial and temporal gene expression and the regulating agency of a few unique proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving loblolly pine somatic embryo maturation: comparison of somatic and zygotic embryo morphology, germination, and gene expression
TL;DR: Observations support the conclusion that even with the new maturation medium somatic embryos grow approximately only halfway through the normal sequence of development and then prematurely discontinue growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Mg(OH) 2 nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results of using Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent are reported in a liquid culture and in paper sheets, and the results indicate that Mg((OH)-and Mg2+ ions in water suspension were not the reason for killing the bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expressed sequence tags from loblolly pine embryos reveal similarities with angiosperm embryogenesis.
John Cairney,Li Zheng,Allison Cowels,Joseph Hsiao,Victoria Zismann,Jia Liu,Shu Ouyang,Françoise Thibaud-Nissen,John P. Hamilton,Kevin L. Childs,Gerald S. Pullman,Yiting Zhang,Thomas J. Oh,C. Robin Buell +13 more
TL;DR: Four cDNA libraries constructed from un-normalized, normalized, and subtracted RNA populations of zygotic and somatic embryos of loblolly pine revealed that pine contains similar genes for embryogenesis and that the RNA sampling methods were successful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial study of Mg(OH)2 nanoplatelets
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper further studied the mechanism study of Mg(OH) 2 nanoplatelets against Escherichia coli, and found that the membrane of the bacterial cell was destroyed by the direct contact with the Mg((OH)-2 nanoplatelet, leading to the cell death.
