[EN] With the completion of genome sequencing projects, the next challenge is to close the gap between gene annotation and gene functional assignment. Genomic tools to identify gene functions are based on the analysis of ...

[EN] Arlequin (Alq) is a gain-of-function mutant whose most relevant feature is that sepals are able to become fruit-like organs due to the ectopic expression of the ALQ-TAGL1 gene. The role of this gene in tomato fruit ...

[EN] Pollen development is a crucial step in higher plants, which not only makes possible plant fertilization and seed formation, but also determines fruit quality and yield in crop species. Here, we reported a tomato T-DNA ...

[EN] Genes encoding HKT1-like Na+ transporters play a key role in the salinity tolerance mechanism in Arabidopsis and other plant species by retrieving Na+ from the xylem of different organs and tissues. In this study, we ...

[EN] Characterization of a new tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) T-DNA mutant allowed for the isolation of the CALCINEURIN B-LIKE PROTEIN 10 (SlCBL10) gene whose lack of function was responsible for the severe alterations ...

[EN] Since membranes play essential roles in all living beings, all cells have developed mechanisms for efficient and fast repair of membrane damage. InEscherichia coli, the Phage shock stress A (PspA) protein is involved ...

[ES] El descubrimiento de nuevos genes implicados en caracteres de interés agronómico puede acelerar el desarrollo de nuevas variedades más eficientes y respetuosas con el medio ambiente. Una de las vías más exitosas para ...
