Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic characterization of flavodoxin-expressing tobacco plants reveals a high light acclimation-like phenotype.
Rodrigo Gómez,Nicolás Figueroa,Michael Melzer,Mohammad-Reza Hajirezaei,Néstor Carrillo,Anabella F. Lodeyro +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that flavodoxin-expressing plants would be better prepared to cope with this adverse situation, and concur with earlier observations reporting that hundreds of stress-responsive genes were induced in the absence of stress in these lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis reveals key features of the improved drought tolerance of plants overexpressing NAC transcription factors
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of ninety-six peer-reviewed publications examining the effects of NAC overexpression on drought tolerance found that NAC expression impacted on the magnitude of 18 out of the 19 most frequently reported plant characteristics, increasing positive responses by at at least 40 %, while decreasing negative ones by at least 23 %.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bolstered plant tolerance to low temperatures by overexpressing NAC transcription factors: identification of critical variables by meta-analysis
Nicolás Figueroa,Rodrigo Gómez +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis summarizing the most critical response variables used to study the effect of overexpressing NAC regulators on cold stress tolerance found that NAC overexpression affected all of the outcome parameters in stressed plants, and one response in control conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balance between bacterial extracellular matrix production and intramacrophage proliferation by a Salmonella-specific SPI-2-encoded transcription factor.
María Laura Echarren,Nicolás Figueroa,Luisina Vitor-Horen,M. Graciela Pucciarelli,Francisco García-del Portillo,Fernando C. Soncini +5 more
TL;DR: A SPI‐2‐encoded Salmonella‐specific transcription factor homolog to MlrA, MlrB, is identified that represses transcription of its downstream gene, orf319, and of csgD inside host cells and this repression lowers the activation of the cellulose synthase.

Balance between extracellular matrix production and macrophage survival by a Salmonella-specific SPI-2 encoded transcription factor
Echarren Ml,Nicolás Figueroa,Vitor-Horen L,Pucciarelli Mg,Francisco García-del Portillo,Fernando C. Soncini +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified a SPI-2 encoded Salmonella-specific transcription factor homolog to MlrA, MlrB, that represses transcription of its downstream gene, STM1389, also known as orf319, and of csgD inside host cells.
