ReadqPCR and NormqPCR: R packages for the reading, quality checking and normalisation of RT-qPCR quantification cycle (Cq) data
(BMC, 2012-07)Background: Measuring gene transcription using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technology is a mainstay of molecular biology. Technologies now exist to measure the abundance of many ... -
Alteration of the Interconversion of Pyruvate and Malate in the Plastid or Cytosol of Ripening Tomato Fruit Invokes Diverse Consequences on Sugar But Similar Effects on Cellular Organic Acid, Metabolism, and Transitory Starch Accumulation.
(Oxford Academic, 2012-12-18)The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of decreased cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and plastidic NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) ripening. Transgenic ... -
Autophagy mediates caloric restriction-induced lifespan extension in Arabidopsis.
(Aging Cell/Blackwell publishing Ltd/Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 2013-01-17)Caloric restriction (CR) extends lifespan in various heterotrophic organisms ranging from yeasts to mammals, but whether a similar phenomenon occurs in plants remains unknown. Plants are autotrophs and use their photosynthetic ... -

(Springer, 2013-02-01)Antecedentes: El uso de las hojas de romero (Rosmarinus officinalis) y sus componentes como fuente de antioxidantes dietéticos y agentes aromatizantes está en continuo crecimiento. El carnosol y el ácido carnósico, dos ... -
The SUD1 Gene Encodes a Putative E3 Ubiquitin Ligase and Is a Positive Regulator of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase Activity in Arabidopsis.
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2013-02-12)The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) enzyme catalyzes the major rate-limiting step of the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway from which sterols and other isoprenoids are synthesized. In contrast with our extensive ... -
Toluquinol, a marine fungus metabolite, is a new angiosuppresor that interferes the Akt pathway.
(Elsevier, 2013-06-15)El toluquinol, una metilhidroquinona producida por un hongo marino, fue seleccionado en el curso de una selección a ciegas de nuevos inhibidores potenciales de la angiogénesis. En el presente estudio proporcionamos la ... -
PainNetworks: A web-based resource for the visualisation of pain related genes in the context of their network associations.
(IASP/Wolters Kluwer, 2013-08-11)We now know of hundreds of genes that have some association with pain. Several genes have been shown to alter pain sensitivity in humans, and can be found in the OMIM database. The Pain Gene Database gives details of genes ... -
Ethylene signaling: simple ligand, complex regulation
(ELSEVIER, 2013-10)The hormone ethylene plays numerous roles in plant development. In the last few years the model of ethylene signaling has evolved from an initially largely linear route to a much more complex pathway with multiple feedback ... -
Ethylene is involved in strawberry fruit ripening in an organ-specific manner.
(Oxford Academic, 2013-10-05)The fruit of the strawberry F.ananassa has traditionally been classified as non-climacteric because its ripen- ing process is not governed by ethylene. However, previous studies have reported the timely endogenous ... -
Ethylene is involved in strawberry fruit ripening in an organ-specific manner
(Oxford University Press [University Publisher], Society for Experimental Biology [Society Publisher], 2013-11)The fruit of the strawberry F ananassa has traditionally been classified as non-climacteric because its ripening process is not governed by ethylene. However, previous studies have reported the timely endogenous production ... -
Autophagy and metacaspase determine the mode of cell death in plants
(Rockefeller University Press, 2013-12-16)Although animals eliminate apoptotic cells using macrophages, plants use cell corpses throughout development and disassemble cells in a cell- autonomous manner by vacuolar cell death. During vacuolar cell death, lytic ... -
Both GLS silencing and GLS2 overexpression synergize with oxidative stress against proliferation of glioma cells.
(Springer Nature, 2014)Mitochondrial glutaminase (GA) plays an essential role in cancer cell metabolism, contributing to biosynthesis, bioenergetics, and redox balance. Humans contain several GA isozymes encoded by the GLS and GLS2 genes, but ... -
Abiotic stresses differentially affect the expression of O-methyltransferase genes related to methoxypyrazine biosynthesis in seeded and parthenocarpic fruits of Vitis vinifera (L.)
(Elsevier, 2014-01-08)MPs (3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazines) are grape-derived aroma compounds that are associated with detrimental herbaceous flavours in some wines. It is well known that several viticultural and environmental parameters can modulate ... -
