Many disease resistance (R) proteins of plants detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria,
viruses, or fungi by recognizing specific pathogen effector molecules that are produced …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a recently developed gene transcript suppression
technique for characterizing the function of plant genes. The approach involves cloning a short …

Management, nutrition, production, and genetics are the main reasons for the decline in
fertility in the modern dairy cow. Selection for the single trait of milk production with little …

High density molecular linkage maps, comprised of more than 1000 markers with an average
spacing between markers of approximately 1.2 cM (ca. 900 kb), have been constructed for …

The Pto gene in tomato confers resistance to races of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato
that carry the avirulence gene avrPto. A yeast artificial chromosome clone that spans the Pto …

Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), the aortic-to-right atrial pressure gradient during the
relaxation phase of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was measured in 100 patients with cardiac …

We report the complete genome sequence of the model bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas
syringae pathovar tomato DC3000 (DC3000), which is pathogenic on tomato and …

Resistance to bacterial speck disease in tomato occurs when the Pto kinase in the plant
responds to expression of the avirulence gene avrPto in the Pseudomonas pathogen. Transient …

Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that regulate the expression of target genes by binding
to specific cis-elements in promoter regions. Transcriptional regulators (TRs) also regulate …

An approach to isolating DNA sequences that are linked to important plant genes is described.
The strategy is based upon a recent modification of the polymerase chain reaction in …
