Microbial ecology in deep granitic groundwater - activity and impact of viruses
(2009-05-13)
The deep subsurface environments in granitic rock can be studied and sampled at the Äspö hard rock laboratory (HRL) close to Oskarshamn in Sweden. Here, the groundwater is anaerobic and total counts give numbers of 104 to ...
B-box Proteins in Light-regulated Development in Arabidopsis
(2008-09-26)
COP1 and HY5 are two key regulators of light signaling in plants. Proteins interacting with either could therefore be important regulators of light-dependent development. Previous yeast two-hybrid screens, using COP1 or ...
General stress proteins: Novel function and signals for induction of stationary phase genes in E.coli
(2010-05-04)
Survival during conditions when nutrients become scarce requires adaptation and expression of genes for maintenance in order for the cell to survive. Among the numerous proteins involved in adaptation and regulation under ...
Osmoregulation at different stages of the yeast life cycle
(2012-05-02)
The ability to adapt to changing and potentially harmful conditions in the surrounding environment is crucial for fitness and survival of all living cells; in particular unicellular organisms, since they are frequently ...
Functional characterisation of the yeast tumour suppressor homologue Sro7p
(2009-10-05)
Correct targeting of newly synthesized proteins to appropriate domains of the cell membrane is crucial to cellular architecture, polarity and function, making it no surprise that many proteins of the secretory machinery ...
Cold Acclimation in oats and other plants: Dissecting low temperature responses using a comparative genomic approach.
(2009-02-27)
Cold acclimation protects plants from temperate regions of the world from the deleterious effects of low and freezing temperatures. This is through a series of transcriptional, regulatory and metabolic changes that enable ...
Novel Tumor Suppressor Gene Candidates in Experimental Endometrial Carcinoma - From Cytogenetic to Molecular Analysis
(2009-08-28)
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common form of gynecological malignancy, ranking fourth in incidence among tumors diagnosed in women. As is the case with other complex diseases, detailed analyses of the underlying ...
Unravelling the complexity of cold acclimation in plants
(2011-05-19)
Many plants respond to low non-freezing temperatures by increasing their freezing tolerance in a process known as cold acclimation. Microarray studies have shown that hundreds of genes are differentially expressed during ...
In the quest for a cold tolerant variety - gene expression profile analysis of cold stressed oat and rice
(2008-11-14)
Cold acclimation is a process which increases the freezing tolerance of an organism, after exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures. The acclimation ensures that cold tolerant species can endure harsh winter conditions, ...
Development and Evaluation of Web Applications for Investigating Candidate Genes in Rat Models of Complex Diseases
(2008-11-21)
Many human diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes mellitus, have a very complex development, depending on both environmental and multiple genetic factors. By crossing inbred rat strains susceptible to ...
