MOLECULAR EVIDENCE OF THE AVOCADO DEFENSE RESPONSE TO FUSARIUM KUROSHIUM INFECTION: A DEEP TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS USING RNA-SEQ

Molecular evidence of the avocado defense response to Fusarium kuroshium infection: a deep transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq

Fusarium kuroshium is a novel member of the Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) that has been recognized as one of the symbionts of the invasive Kuroshio shot hole borer, an Asian ambrosia beetle.This complex is considered the causal agent of Fusarium dieback, a disease that has severely threatened natural forests, landscape trees, and avocado orchards i

The forkhead transcription factor Foxl2 is sumoylated in both human and mouse: sumoylation affects its stability, localization, and activity.

The FOXL2 forkhead transcription factor is expressed JEWELRYEARRINGS in ovarian granulosa cells, and mutated FOXL2 causes the blepharophimosis, ptosis and epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) and predisposes to premature ovarian failure.Inactivation of Foxl2 in mice demonstrated its indispensability for female gonadal sex determination and ovary dev

Implications of the EFSA Scientific Opinion on Site Directed Nucleases 1 and 2 for Risk Assessment of Genome-Edited Plants in the EU

Genome editing is a set of techniques for introducing targeted changes in genomes.It may be achieved by enzymes collectively called site-directed nucleases (SDN).Site-specificity of SDNs is provided either by the DNA binding Mechanical Portion Scales domain of the protein molecule itself or by RNA molecule(s) that direct SDN to a specific site in t
