… Finally, we discuss the role of RNA silencing in the regulation of immunity and how this
regulation is perturbed by infection. Our conclusion is that RNA silencing provides a regulatory …

… persicae is able to colonise diverse host plant species in the absence of genetic specialisation.
This is achieved through rapid transcriptional plasticity of genes that have duplicated …

Plants feature a particularly diverse population of short (s)RNAs, the central component of all
RNA silencing pathways. Next generation sequencing techniques enable deeper insights …

… PCC 7120, iron homeostasis is controlled by FurA, 6 while NtcA is the master regulator of
nitrogen metabolism. NtcA is a transcriptional regulator that belongs to the Crp family, which …

Plastidial ω-3 desaturase FAD7 is a major contributor to trienoic fatty acid biosynthesis in
the leaves of Arabidopsis plants. However, the precise contribution of the other plastidial ω-3 …

… We provide evidence that residual activity of Rider is controlled by epigenetic mechanisms
involving siRNAs and the RNA-dependent DNA methylation pathway. Finally, we …

MicroRNAs negatively regulate the accumulation of mRNAs therefore when they are expressed
in the same cells their expression profiles show an inverse correlation. We previously …

Gene co-option, the redeployment of an existing gene in an unrelated developmental context,
is an important mechanism underlying the evolution of morphological novelty. In most …

The Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein is a global regulator in most prokaryotes that
controls a large number of genes. Fur is a classical repressor that uses ferrous iron as co-repressor …

… The purification of oligonucleotides is a critical step for demanding applications where the
exact length or sequence of the oligonucleotide is important, or for oligonucleotides longer …
