Responses of nitrogen metabolism and seed nutrition to drought stress in soybean genotypes differing in slow-wilting phenotype.

Frontiers in plant science

Bellaloui N, Gillen AM, Mengistu A, Kebede H, Fisher DK, Smith JR, Reddy KN.
PMID: 24339829
Front Plant Sci. 2013 Dec 10;4:498. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2013.00498. eCollection 2013.

Recent advances in soybean breeding have resulted in genotypes that express the slow-wilting phenotype (trait) under drought stress conditions. The physiological mechanisms of this trait remain unknown due to the complexity of trait × environment interactions. The objective of...

Background. Malaria and typhoid fever are major public health problems in tropical and subtropical countries. People in endemic areas are at risk of contracting both infections concurrently. Objectives. The study was aimed at determining the prevalence and associated risk...

The Arabidopsis Myb transcription factor MTF1 is a unidirectional regulator of susceptibility to Agrobacterium.

Plant signaling & behavior

Sardesai N, Laluk K, Mengiste T, Gelvin S.
PMID: 24785741
Plant Signal Behav. 2014 Apr 30;9. Epub 2014 Apr 30.

We recently described the Arabidopsis Myb transcription factor MTF1 that negatively regulates plant susceptibility to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Roots of mtf1 mutant plants show increased susceptibility to several Agrobacterium strains, and complementing the mutants with a MTF1 cDNA decreases transformation...

Chemical force titrations of functionalized Si(111) surfaces.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids

Mengistu TZ, Goel V, Horton JH, Morin S.
PMID: 16732656
Langmuir. 2006 Jun 06;22(12):5301-7. doi: 10.1021/la052776p.

Chemical force titrations-plots of the adhesive force between an atomic force microscope tip and sample as a function of pH-were acquired on alkyl monolayer-derivatized Si(111) surfaces. Gold-coated AFM tips modified with thioalkanoic acid self-assembled monolayers (SAM) were employed. Alkyl...
