Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Antifungal Resistance in Pathogenic Species.

Candidiasis is a highly pervasive infection posing major health risks, especially for immunocompromised populations. Pathogenic species have evolved intrinsic and acquired resistance to a variety of antifungal medications. The primary goal of this literature review is to summarize the molecular mechanisms associated with antifungal resistance in species.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Changes in Whole Gene Expression, Biological Process, and Molecular Functions Induced by Nickel in Jack Pine ().

Understanding the genetic response of plants to nickel stress is a necessary step to improving the utility of plants in environmental remediation and restoration. The main objective of this study was to generate whole genome expression profiles of exposed to nickel ion toxicity compared to reference genotypes. seedlings were screened in a growth chamber setting using a high concentration of 1600 mg of nickel per 1 kg of soil.

Transcriptome analysis of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) under nickel stress.

Plants have evolved heavy metal tolerance mechanisms to adapt and cope with nickel (Ni) toxicity. Decrypting whole gene expression of Trembling Aspen (Pinus tremuloides) under nickel stress could elucidate the nickel resistance/tolerance mechanisms. The main objectives of the present research were to 1) characterize the P.

DNA methylation and histone modifications induced by abiotic stressors in plants.

Background: A review of research shows that methylation in plants is more complex and sophisticated than in microorganisms and animals. Overall, studies on the effects of abiotic stress on epigenetic modifications in plants are still scarce and limited to few species. Epigenetic regulation of plant responses to environmental stresses has not been elucidated.

Differential effects of nickel dosages on in vitro and in vivo seed germination and expression of a high affinity nickel-transport family protein (AT2G16800) in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides).

It has been demonstrated that a number of metals including mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) decrease seed germination rates and plant growth. The threshold levels of metal toxicity on seed germination, plant development, and gene regulation have not been studied in detail. The main objective of this study was to assess in vitro and in vivo the effects of different doses of nickel on Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) seed germination and regulation of the high affinity nickel transporter family protein (AT2G16800) gene.
