La mancha bacteriana causada por el patógeno Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (P. s. tomato) es una de las enfermedades más devastadoras del cultivo del tomate. En este trabajo se demuestra que la sola inhibición de la ...

[EN] Euphorbia lathyris is a non-food crop that can be used for biofuel production. In this work we have obtained somatic embryos in this species. We have also obtained tetraploid lines, whith an increase in the weight and ...

[EN] The way to understan the defense mechanism in plants is through the a genetic aproach to generate csb3 suppresors. the scs5 mutant was seleccionated to rever the phenotipical features of csb3, it also has a morfological ...

[EN] Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression through binding to cis-regulatory specific sequences in the promoters of their target genes. In contrast to the genetic code, the transcriptional regulatory code ...

[EN] ocp3 mutant plants exhibit an accelerated and intensified callose deposition in response to infection by Botrytis cinerea or Plectosphaerella cucumerina. After phenotypic analysis of a series of double mutants ocp3 ...

Throughout evolution, plants have developed a sophisticated network of signaling pathways allowing the activation and regulation of immune responses. The identification of metabolic pathways which are involved in modulating ...

[EN] Laticifers are specialized plant cells capable of indefinite elongation that ramify extensively and are responsible for latex biosynthesis and accumulation. However, the mechanisms underlying laticifer cell differentiation, ...

[EN] Plant regulatory circuits coordinating nuclear and plastid gene expression have evolved in response to external stimuli. RNA editing is one of such control mechanisms. We determined the Arabidopsis nuclear-encoded ...

Host cells use an intricate signaling system to respond to invasions by pathogenic microorganisms. Although several signaling components of disease resistance against necrotrophic fungal pathogens have been identified, ...

[EN] ABA is involved in plant responses to a broad range of pathogens and exhibits complex antagonistic and synergistic relationships with salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) signaling pathways, respectively. However, ...
