Transgenic tomato plants expressing a wheat endochitinase gene demonstrate enhanced resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the expression of the wheat endochitinase chi194 in tomato plants confers resistance against Fusarium wilt disease caused by the fungal pathogen FUSarium oxysporum f.

Novel chitinolytic enzymes with biological activity against herbivorous insects

TL;DR: Ingestion of this mixture of chitinolytic enzymes significantly reduced the growth and development of Trichoplusia ni and significantly reduced survival of Myzus persicae, Bemisia argentifolii, and Hypothenemus hampei.

A chitinase from Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds: purification, characterisation and immunolocalisation

TL;DR: The tissue and subcellular localisation of the enzyme indicated that isolated chitinase was mainly localised in the cytosolic compartments, and the presence of a similar protein to the isolate was detected in exudates from seeds, discharged during germination.

Dissecting root proteome of transgenic rice cultivars unravels metabolic alterations and accumulation of novel stress responsive proteins under drought stress.

TL;DR: The comparative proteome analysis between the roots of wild type and transgenic DREB1A overexpressing homozygous plants under drought stress condition is demonstrated and a novel protein, R40C1 was reported to be up-accumulated in roots of transgenic plants which may play an important role in generation of drought tolerant plants.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

The reliability of molecular weight determinations by dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

TL;DR: The results show that the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method can be used with great confidence to determine the molecular weights of polypeptide chains for a wide variety of proteins.

Simplified “disc” (polyacrylamide gel) electrophoresis*

TL;DR: Cross‐linked homogeneous 5 per cent polyacrylamide gel in rod form is a convenient medium for sharp analytical electrophoretic separation in microgram quantities of most serum proteins and of many biological ampholytes.
