Brassinosteroid Signaling and Application in Rice
Hongning Tong, Chengcai Chu
2012, 39(1): 3-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jgg.2011.12.001
Abstract (117) HTML PDF (0)
Abstract:
Combined approaches with genetics, biochemistry, and proteomics studies have greatly advanced our understanding of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling in Arabidopsis. However, in rice, a model plant of monocot and as well an important crop plant, BR signaling is not as well characterized as in Arabidopsi...
MicroRNAs and Type 2 Diabetes/Obesity

Abstract (79) HTML PDF (0)
Abstract:
MicroRNAs belong to a newly identified class of small non-coding RNAs that have been widely implicated in the fine-tuning of many physiological processes such as the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Microarray studies have highlighted an altered profile of miRNA expression in insul...

TG-interacting Factor (TGIF) Downregulates SOX3 Gene Expression in the NT2/D1 Cell Line

Abstract (103) HTML PDF (0)
Abstract:
SOX3 is a member of the Sox gene family implicated in brain formation and cognitive function. It is considered to be one of the earliest neural markers in vertebrates, playing a role in specifying neuronal fate. Recently, we have established the first link between TALE (three-amino-acid loop extensi...
MicroRNA-125b Induces Cancer Cell Apoptosis Through Suppression of Bcl-2 Expression

Abstract (107) HTML PDF (0)
Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs which can often act as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor. Several miRNAs are associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We demonstrated that miR-125b significantly suppresses HCC cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis by inhibit...
Deletion of the Initial 45 Residues of ARR18 Induces Cytokinin Response in Arabidopsis
Yan Liang, Xingchun Wang, Sulei Hong, Yansha Li, Jianru Zuo

Abstract:
The plant hormone cytokinin plays important roles in various aspects of plant growth and development. Cytokinin signaling is mediated by a multistep phosphorelay similar to bacterial two-component system. Type-B ARRs lie at the end of the cytokinin signaling, typically mediating the output response....

Abstract:
Δ8-Sphingolipid desaturase is the key enzyme that catalyses desaturation at the C8 position of the long-chain base of sphingolipids in higher plants. There have been no previous studies on the genes encoding Δ8-sphingolipid desaturases in Brassica rapa. In this study, four genes encoding Δ8-sphingol...
