Most land plants live in a symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that
belong to the phylum Glomeromycota. Although a number of plant genes involved in the …

Previously, we used heterologous expressed sequence tag (EST) mapping to generate a
profile of 4 935 pathogen‐response genes of Arabidopsis thaliana. In this work, we …

The allotetraploid plant Nicotiana tabacum (common tobacco) is a major crop species and a
model organism, for which only very fragmented genomic sequences are currently available …

Small single stranded RNA viruses cause disease and reduce yields of many crop plants.
Because these viruses carry limited amounts of genetic information into plants, they are …

Background At the moment, there are a number of publications describing gene expression
profiling in virus-infected plants. Most of the data are limited to specific host-pathogen …

Using genomic technologies, it is now possible to address research hypotheses in the
context of entire developmental or biochemical pathways, gene networks, and chromosomal …

For over decades, plant molecular virology has been overly focused on the pathogen itself,
studying their individual genes and products, and their local effects on certain regulatory …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful genetic tool for rapid assessment of plant
gene functions in the post-genomic era. Here, we successfully implemented a Tobacco …

In the postgenomic era, large-scale functional genomic approaches are necessary for
converting sequence information into functional information. A para-genetic approach …
