Extraction of plant proteins using typical extraction buffers leaves insoluble debris that cannot be investigated by conventional 2-DE technologies. In this paper, we present a scalable, off-line procedure for extraction of Arabidopsis thaliana homogenates that can be used in combination with both

The timing of the floral transition has significant consequences for reproductive success in plants. Plants gauge both environmental and endogenous signals before switching to reproductive development. Many temperate species only flower after they have experienced a prolonged period of cold, a

A protocol for the isolation of functional thylakoids from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves was developed. The critical factor in obtaining active, coupled and stable preparation is the inclusion of EDTA and EGTA in the grinding buffer. Preparations were characterized with respect to the whole or partial

Encouraging more students to embrace plant science research is a global priority. We have evolved a second year undergraduate course from a standard lecture/practical format into an innovative research-led learning design that gives students hands-on experience of cutting-edge plant science research

We previously identified the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC)-like gene, a MADS-box transcription factor gene that belongs to Arabidopsis thaliana FLC clade, in apple (Malus x domestica), and its expression in dormant flower buds is positively correlated with cumulative cold exposure. To elucidate the role
