TL;DR: A 6-fold increase of tree tobacco LTP gene transcripts was observed after three drying events, providing further evidence that LTP is involved in cuticle deposition, and indicating that there is a negative relationship between total wax load and epidermal conductance.

TL;DR: It is shown that the primary function of Streptomyces NOS is radically different from that of mammalian NOS, and high similarity between bacterial NOSs indicates a general function in biosynthetic nitration; thus, bacterial N OSs constitute a new class of enzymes.

TL;DR: This PAI is the first to be described in a Gram‐positive plant pathogenic bacterium and is responsible for the emergence of new plant Pathogenic Streptomyces species in agricultural systems.

TL;DR: All of the MIP genes the authors characterized displayed highest levels of mRNA accumulation in roots or stems, with lower levels of expression in mesophyll cells and whole leaves, and lowest transcript accumulation in guard cell RNA, suggesting down-regulation of MIP gene expression may result in reduced membrane water permeability and may encourage cellular water conservation during periods of dehydration stress.

TL;DR: These trials demonstrate that new genotypes produce improved yield and pest and disease resistance, with diverse compositional traits that can be matched with conversion technologies.
