Influence of Electrolyte Concentration on Single-Molecule Sensing of Perfluorocarboxylic Acids.

Perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) are an emerging class of persistent organic pollutants. During the fabrication process, it is unavoidable to form PFCA homologs or isomers which exhibit distinct occurrence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. The precision measurement of PFCAs is therefore of significant importance.

, a Pepper ( L.) Dehydrin Gene Enhances the Tolerance against Salt and Drought Stresses by Reducing ROS Accumulation.

Dehydrins (DHNs) play an important role in abiotic stress tolerance in a large number of plants, but very little is known about the function of DHNs in pepper plants. Here, we isolated a YSK-type DHN gene "" from pepper. To authenticate the function of in salt and drought stresses, it was overexpressed in Arabidopsis and silenced in pepper through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS).

The NAC transcription factor CaNAC064 is a regulator of cold stress tolerance in peppers.

NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that are important in plant abiotic stress responses. In this study we isolated a NAC gene from Capsicum annuum leaves, designated as CaNAC064. We characterized the amino acid sequence of CaNAC064 and found that it contain conserved domains of the NAC family, including a highly conserved N-terminus domain and a highly variable C-terminus domain.

, a Salt and Cold Stress-Responsive Dehydrin Gene from Pepper Decreases Abscisic Acid Sensitivity in .

Dehydrins play an important role in improving plant resistance to abiotic stresses. In this study, we isolated a dehydrin gene from pepper ( L.) leaves, designated as Sub-cellular localization of was to be found in the nucleus and membrane.
