Arabidopsis ESKIMO1 mutant lines, already known to have increased tolerance to freezing, are also shown to be more tolerant to mild drought stress and to salt stress, suggesting the gene has an important role in water economy
BMC Plant Biology 2008, 8 :107
A novel screening protocol identifies Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants that produce hydrogen without the need for sulfur depletion, offering a first step towards isolating a strain useful for hydrogen gas production.
BMC Plant Biology 2008, 8 :99
In response to environmental and other experimental perturbations, the Arabidopsis transcriptome shows 998 regulons of co-expressed genes, corresponding to many known biological processes but also including many unannotated genes.
