Regulatory small RNAs, which range in size from 20 to 24 nucleotides, are ubiquitous
components of endogenous plant transcriptomes, as well as common responses to …

Divergence of gene function is a hallmark of evolution, but assessing functional divergence
over deep time is not trivial. The few alleles available for cross-species studies often fail to …

The heated discourse on multicultural education, especially in the popular press and among
nonspecialists (Gray, 1991; Leo, 1990; Schlesinger, 1991), often obscures the theory …

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the preferred method for transformation of a wide range of
plant species. Commonly, the genes to be transferred are cloned between the left and right T …

Over 225,000 independent Agrobacterium transferred DNA (T-DNA) insertion events in the

Background We describe novel plasmid vectors for transient gene expression using
Agrobacterium, infiltrated into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. We have generated a series of …
