    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2005 5:3
  5. TOR, the target of the antibiotic rapamycin in both yeast and mammalian cells, is a potent cell growth regulator in all eukaryotes. It acts through the phosphorylation of downstream effectors that are recruited t...

    Authors: Garrett H Anderson and Maureen R Hanson
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2005 5:2
  6. Even though the catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) have been detected in plants their role is poorly documented. Correlations between norepinephrine, soluble sugars and starch concentrat...

    Authors: Aleksandra Skirycz, Anna Świędrych and Jan Szopa
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2005 5:1
  7. The stimulatory effect of CO2 on ethylene evolution in plants is known, but the extent to which ethylene controls photosynthesis is not clear. Studies on the effects of ethylene on CO2 metabolism have shown confl...

    Authors: NA Khan
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:21
  8. All living organisms emit spontaneous low-level bioluminescence, which can be increased in response to stress. Methods for imaging this ultra-weak luminescence have previously been limited by the sensitivity o...

    Authors: Michel Flor-Henry, Tulene C McCabe, Guy L de Bruxelles and Michael R Roberts
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:19
  9. Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a common biosynthetic precursor to the labdane diterpene forskolin, has been biosynthesised via a non-mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase is an importa...

    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:18
  10. A wide range of cellular responses occur when plants are exposed to elevated temperature, including adjustments in the unsaturation level of membrane fatty acids. Although membrane bound desaturase enzymes med...

    Authors: Deane L Falcone, Joseph P Ogas and Chris R Somerville
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:17
  11. Following on from recent advances in plant AsA biosynthesis there is increasing interest in elucidating the factors contributing to the L-ascorbic acid (AsA) content of edible crops. One main objective is to esta...

    Authors: Luigi Tedone, Robert D Hancock, Salvatore Alberino, Sophie Haupt and Roberto Viola
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:16
  12. Infection of plants by necrotizing pathogens can lead to the rapid and localized induction of a complex set of defense responses resulting in a restriction of pathogen growth and spread. Subsequently, an incre...

    Authors: Catherine Bovie, Marc Ongena, Philippe Thonart and Jacques Dommes
    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:15
  13. Various species of genus Trigonella are important from medical and culinary aspect. Among these, Trigonella foenum-graecum is commonly grown as a vegetable. This anti-diabetic herb can lower blood glucose and cho...

    Citation: BMC Plant Biology 2004 4:13
  14. Going from a gene sequence to its function in the context of a whole organism requires a strategy for targeting mutations, referred to as reverse genetics. Reverse genetics is highly desirable in the modern ge...
