Plants are susceptible to a limited number of pathogens. Most infections fail due to active
defense or absence of compatibility. Many components of the plant's surveillance system and …

Abbreviations: DHFR, dihydrofolate reductase; LHCP-II, light harvesting complex protein of
photosystem II; pmf, proton-motive force; PSI, photosystem I; PSII, photosystem If; rubisco, …

Plants have the ability to acquire an enhanced level of resistance to pathogen attack after
being exposed to specific biotic stimuli. In Arabidopsis, nonpathogenic, root-colonizing …

Fructans are polyfructose molecules produced by approximately 15% of the flowering plant
species. It is possible that, in addition to being a storage carbohydrate, fructans have other …

Microarray transcript profiling and RNA interference are two new technologies crucial for
large-scale gene function studies in multicellular eukaryotes. Both rely on sequence-specific …

The expression of the Arabidopsis plastocyanin (PC) gene is developmentally controlled
and regulated by light. During seedling development, PC gene expression is transiently …

Low concentrations of the glucose (Glc) analog mannose (Man) inhibit germination of
Arabidopsis seeds. Man is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HXK), but the absence of germination …

The effect of treatment of potato seed tubers withPseudomonas putida isolate WCS358 on
tuber yield was studied in different crop rotations at the Experimental Farm ‘De Schreef’, near …

La présente étude porte sur l'aptitude de différentes souches de Pseudomonas à utiliser des
sidérophores hétérologues, comparée à leur compétitivité dans les rhizosphères de radis. …

Fructans are polyfructose molecules that function as nonstructural storage carbohydrates in
several plant species that are important crops. We have been studying plants for their ability …
