Differential gene expression in drought-tolerant sugarcane roots
, “Differential gene expression in drought-tolerant sugarcane roots”, vol. 14, pp. 7196-7207, 2015.
Drought is one of the most frequent abiotic stresses limiting the productivity and geographical distribution of sugarcane culture. The use of drought-tolerant genotypes is one approach for overcoming the effects of water stress. We conducted a comparative study to identify gene expression profiles under water stress in tolerant sugarcane roots. Two different cultivars, 1 drought tolerant (RB867515) and 1 drought susceptible (SP86-155), were evaluated at 4 sampling time points (1, 3, 5, and 10 days) using the cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism technique.
Electrophoresis and spectrometric analyses of adaptation-related proteins in thermally stressed Chromobacterium violaceum
, “Electrophoresis and spectrometric analyses of adaptation-related proteins in thermally stressed Chromobacterium violaceum”, vol. 12, pp. 5057-5071, 2013.
Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative proteobacteria found in water and soil; it is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, such as the Amazon rainforest. We examined protein expression changes that occur in C. violaceum at different growth temperatures using electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. The total number of spots detected was 1985; the number ranged from 99 to 380 in each assay.
