The poly(A) site selection and the salicylic acid signaling modulate the responses to low nitrogen availability

by Centro de Biotecnología y Genómica de Plantas CBGP

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and production. For plant improvement, we need to identify and understand the mechanisms that plants have evolved to cope with N deficiency. Here...

Synthetic biology techniques to get better and more reproducible transgenic plants

by Centro de Biotecnología y Genómica de Plantas CBGP

Due to the random nature of transgene insertion in the majority of higher eukaryotes, transgenic DNA may integrate into regions of the genome that are transcriptionally repressed, which can result in ...

Repression of some cysteine-proteases makes barley leaves more resistant to pest and pathogens

by Centro de Biotecnología y Genómica de Plantas CBGP

To survive under stress conditions, plants alter gene expression patterns, make structural and physiological adjustments and optimize the efficient use of resources. Among these changes, protein turn-...

A non-host of a plant virus showing only apparent extreme resistance

by Centro de Biotecnología y Genómica de Plantas CBGP

Non-host virus resistance in plants has been classically considered as the virus inability to establish a systemic infection, not even to reach detectable titers in the inoculated leaves. This non-hos...
