The dielectric effect enforced on charged ions and dipolar molecules by the oscillating electric field of microwaves may influence electric signaling in plants. In the present study, the exposure of Nicotiana benthamiana plants to continuous wave 2.45 GHz microwave radiation with 1.9 - 2.1 W m-2

Previously, it was shown that a fragment chromosome, apparently derived from the Nicotiana repanda chromosomal complement, restores to normal the morphology and fertility of the abortive and feminized anthers produced by plants that possess the N. tabacum genome in cytoplasm from N. repanda.

Virus-like symptoms were observed on basil plants (Ocimum basilicum L. 'Mrs. Burns Lemon' [MBL]) growing in containers and a demonstration plot at the Louisiana State University Burden Research Plantation, Baton Rouge, during July 1998. Symptoms consisted of ring spots, leaf distortion, and severe

Resource-based tradeoffs in the allocation of a limiting resource are commonly invoked to explain negative correlations between growth and defense in plants, but critical examinations of these tradeoffs are lacking. To rigorously quantify tradeoffs in a common currency, we grew Nicotiana attenuata

The plant mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) includes a non-energy conserving alternative oxidase (AOX) thought to dampen reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by the ETC and/or facilitate carbon metabolism by uncoupling it from ATP turnover. When wild-type (WT) Nicotiana tabacum grown

BACKGROUND The native annual tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata, is found primarily in large ephemeral populations (typically for less than 3 growing seasons) after fires in sagebrush and pinyon-juniper ecosystems and in small persistent populations (for many growing seasons) in isolated washes typically

CONCLUSIONS The yield of recombinant hEGF was increased approximately tenfold through a range of optimisations. Further, the recombinant protein was found to have biological activity comparable to commercial hEGF. Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) is a powerful mitogen that can enhance the

Nicotiana attenuata is a native tobacco that is commonly found usually one growing season after fires in the blackbrush, sagebrush and pinyon-juniper forests of the Great Basin desert of North America. This plant also occurs in isolated dry washes and roadsides for many consecutive seasons. Postfire
