TL;DR: Comparisons and differences observed between the promoters of matrilysin and the other metalloproteinases may provide insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate the expression of this family of enzymes as a whole and the factors that distinguish the expression patterns of individual family members.

TL;DR: Side-by-side evaluations of six of the most widely used ab initio repeat finding programs reveal profound differences in the utility with some identifying virtually their entire substrate as repetitive, others making reasonable estimates of repetition, and some missing almost all repeats.

TL;DR: Most of the enormous genome complexity of pines can be explained by divergence of retrotransposons, however the elements responsible for genome size variation are yet to be identified.

TL;DR: Unlike many plant-pathogen interactions, it appears that lowering H2O2 levels helps to prevent A. flavus infection and subsequent aflatoxin accumulation.

TL;DR: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) lines transgenic for the antisense nucleocapsid (N) gene of a Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) strain isolated from peanut were generated by microprojectile-mediated transformation of repetitive somatic embryos of cultivars VC1 and AT120, generating hygromycin-resistant lines.
