Absence of functional TolC protein causes increased stress response gene expres...
Santos, Mario R.; Cosme, Ana M.; Becker, Jorg D.; Medeiros, Joao M C.; Mata, Marcia F.; Moreira, Leonilde M.The TolC protein from Sinorhizobium meliloti has previously been demonstrated to be required for establishing successful biological nitrogen fixation symbiosis with Medicago sativa. It is also needed in protein and exopolysaccharide secretion and for protection against osmotic and oxidative stresses. Here, the transcriptional profile of free-living S. meliloti 1021 tolC mutant is described as a step toward unde...
How many genes are needed to make a pollen tube? lessons from transcriptomics
Becker, Jorg D.; Feijó, José ABackground Pollen is the male gametophyte of higher plants. Upon pollination, it germinates and develops into a fast-growing cytoplasmic extension, the pollen tube, which ultimately delivers the sperm into the ovary. The biological relevance of its role, and the uniqueness of this kind of cellular organization, have made pollen the focus of many approaches, and it stands today as one of the best-known models in...
BOLITA, an Arabidopsis AP2/ERF-like transcription factor that affects cell e...
Marsch-Martinez, Nayelli; Greco, Raffaella; Becker, Jorg D.; Dixit, Shital; Bergervoet, Jan H. W.; Karaba, Aarati Aarati; de Folter, StefanThe BOLITA (BOL) gene, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, was characterized with the help of an activation tag mutant and overexpression lines in Arabidopsis and tobacco. The leaf size of plants overexpressing BOL was smaller than wild type plants due to a reduction in both cell size and cell number. Moreover, severe overexpressors showed ectopic callus formation in roots. Accordingly, global gene expression anal...
