The complete chloroplast genome of Herbich (Asteraceae) isolated in Korea.

We have determined the complete chloroplast genome of Herbich isolated in Korea. The circular chloroplast genome of is 151,137 bp long and has four subregions: 83,041 bp of large single copy and 18,350 bp of small single copy regions are separated by 24,873 bp of inverted repeat regions including 133 genes (87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, 37 tRNAs, and one pseudogene). There are 65 to 152 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 33 to 64 insertion and deletion regions (178 bp to 372 bp in length) identified against three available chloroplast genomes of .

Electrospray patterning of yeast cells for applications in alcoholic fermentation.

Yeast cells patterned by pulsed jet electrospray showed a high alcoholic fermentation rate. Multi-dimensional patterns of individual yeast cells were produced by varying the experimental parameters of the electrospray system. The electrospray process, which employed a vibrational electric field, could control patterns of viable yeast cells at a cellular resolution.

Functional and genomic characterization of a wound- and methyl jasmonate-inducible chalcone isomerase in Eremochloa ophiuroides [Munro] Hack.

Eremochloa ophiuroides, a perennial warm-season lawn grass, has a characteristic phenotype of red pigmentation in tissues during maturation. The putative gene families associated with the red coloration were previously identified in E. ophiuroides.

Transcriptome-guided identification and functional characterization of key terpene synthases involved in constitutive and methyl jasmonate-inducible volatile terpene formation in Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.

Centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides [Munro] Hack.) is a warm-season turfgrass, widely planted in residential lawns and recreational fields. Here, we uncovered three major terpenes released from the shoots of Eo: (E)-β-ocimene (6%), α-muurolene (87.

Novel functions of peroxiredoxin Q from Deinococcus radiodurans R1 as a peroxidase and a molecular chaperone.

Deinococcus radiodurans R1 is extremely resistant to ionizing radiation and oxidative stress. In this study, we characterized DR0846, a candidate peroxiredoxin in D. radiodurans.

Inhibitory effect of gamma irradiation and its application for control of postharvest green mold decay of Satsuma mandarins.

Gamma irradiation has been shown to be effective for the control of postharvest fungi in vitro, but little is known regarding antifungal action, responses to gamma irradiation, and its application to fresh produce. Gamma irradiation was evaluated for its in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity against Penicillium digitatum on Satsuma mandarin fruits. Green mold was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner.

Direct suppression of a rice bacterial blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) by monoterpene (S)-limonene.

Rice bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is a severe disease of rice plants. Upon pathogen infection, rice biosynthesizes phytoalexins, including diterpenoids such as momilactones, phytocassanes, and oryzalexins.

Herbaspirillum sp. strain GW103 alleviates salt stress in Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis.

Mutual interactions between plant and rhizosphere bacteria facilitate plant growth and reduce risks of biotic and abiotic stresses. The present study demonstrates alleviation of salt stress in Brassica rapa L. ssp.

Paenibacillus gelatinilyticus sp. nov. a psychrotolerant bacterium isolated from a reclaimed soil and amended description of Paenibacillus shenyangensis.

A rod shaped, Gram-stain positive, non-motile, facultative anaerobic and gelatin hydrolysing bacterium, strain PG1(T), was isolated from reclaimed land soil in Kyehwa-do, Republic of Korea. Strain PG1(T) showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.4 and 96.

Rice terpene synthase 20 (OsTPS20) plays an important role in producing terpene volatiles in response to abiotic stresses.

This study examined the volatile terpenes produced by rice seedlings in response to oxidative stress induced by various abiotic factors. Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) analyses revealed that when exposed to UV-B radiation, rice seedlings emitted a bouquet of monoterpene mixtures in a time-dependent manner. The mixtures comprised limonene, sabinene, myrcene, α-terpinene, β-ocimene, γ-terpinene, and α-terpinolene.

Bioleaching characteristics, influencing factors of Cu solubilization and survival of Herbaspirillum sp. GW103 in Cu contaminated mine soil.

This study was aimed at assess the potential of diazotrophic bacteria, Herbaspirillum sp. GW103, for bioleaching of Cu in mine soil. The strain exhibited resistance to As (550mgL(-1)), Cu (350mgL(-1)), Zn (300mgL(-1)) and Pb (200mgL(-1)).

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase from Pseudomonas fluorescens promoting the growth of Chinese cabbage and its polyclonal antibody.

Bacterial 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxlyate (ACC) deaminase (AcdS) is an enzyme that cleaves ACC, a precursor of the plant hormone ethylene, into α-ketobutyrate and ammonia. The acdS gene was cloned from Pseudomonas fluorescens, which was capable of improving the seedling of Chinese cabbage under salinity condition. The recombinant AcdS (rAcdS) exhibited optimal activity at pH 8.
