Journal ArticleDOI
Stress signaling in plants: a mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway is activated by cold and drought.
Claudia Jonak,Stefan Kiegerl,Wilco Ligterink,Patrick J. Barker,Neville S. Huskisson,Heribert Hirt +5 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that the MMK4 kinase pathway mediates drought and cold signaling independently of ABA, indicating the existence of distinct mechanisms to mediate different stresses in alfalfa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptor-Mediated Activation of a MAP Kinase in Pathogen Defense of Plants
TL;DR: An elicitor-responsive mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase was identified that acts downstream of the ion channels but independently or upstream of the oxidative burst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning from Co-expression Networks: Possibilities and Challenges
TL;DR: This study analyzes integrative genomics strategies used in recent studies that successfully identified candidate genes taking advantage of gene co-expression networks and discusses promising bioinformatics approaches that predict networks for specific purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
GERMINATOR: a software package for high-throughput scoring and curve fitting of Arabidopsis seed germination
Ronny V. L. Joosen,Jan Kodde,Leo A. J. Willems,Wilco Ligterink,Linus H. W. van der Plas,Henk W. M. Hilhorst +5 more
TL;DR: The Germinator package as mentioned in this paper is a low-cost package that allows the monitoring of several thousands of germination tests, several times a day by a single person, and can be used for all plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification Of Reference Genes For RT-qPCR Expression Analysis In Arabidopsis And Tomato Seeds
Bas J.W. Dekkers,Bas J.W. Dekkers,Leo A. J. Willems,George W. Bassel,R. P. (Marieke) van Bolderen-Veldkamp,R. P. (Marieke) van Bolderen-Veldkamp,Wilco Ligterink,Henk W. M. Hilhorst,Leónie Bentsink,Leónie Bentsink +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors mined Arabidopsis seed microarray data to identify stably expressed genes and analyzed these together with putative reference genes from other sources, which provided a valuable resource for accurate normalization of gene expression experiments in seed research.
