▪ Abstract Plant responses to salinity stress are reviewed with emphasis on molecular
mechanisms of signal transduction and on the physiological consequences of altered gene …

▪ Abstract Lipid-transfer proteins (LTP) are basic, 9-kDa proteins present in high amounts (as
much as 4% of the total soluble proteinss) in higher plants. LTPs can enhance the in vitro …

A high-capacity system was developed to monitor the expression of many genes in parallel.
Microarrays prepared by high-speed robotic printing of complementary DNAs on glass were …

The spliced alignment of expressed sequence data to genomic sequence has proven a key
tool in the comprehensive annotation of genes in eukaryotic genomes. A novel algorithm …

Environmental stresses come in many forms, yet the most prevalent stresses have in
common their effect on plant water status. The availability of water for its biological roles as …

Petunia embryos carrying the no apical meristem (nam) mutation fail to develop a shoot
apical meristem. Occasional shoots on nam− seedlings bear flowers that develop ten …

Disease resistance is associated with a plant defense response that involves an integrated
set of signal transduction pathways. Changes in the expression patterns of 2,375 selected …

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small plant in the mustard family that has become the model
system of choice for research in plant biology. Significant advances in understanding plant …

APETALA2 (AP2) plays an important role in the control of Arabidopsis flower and seed
development and encodes a putative transcription factor that is distinguished by a novel …

Full-length cDNAs are essential for functional analysis of plant genes. Using the biotinylated
CAP trapper method, we constructed full-length Arabidopsis cDNA libraries from plants in …
