Background.
Many microbial hosts used for the rapid discovery and development of metabolic pathways can have sensitivities to final products and process reagents. Isopentenol, a biogasoline candidate, has an established heterologous gene pathway but is toxic to many microbial hosts. Reagents used in...

• Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), in addition to attracting natural enemies of herbivores, can serve a signaling function within plants by acting as wound signals that induce or prime defenses. However, particularly in woody plants, which compounds within HIPV blends are capable of act...
We used microarrays to discern patterns of gene expression in response to global climate change factors on leaf tissue of an annual dicot, Geranium dissectum, growing in a natural grassland. Keywords: multifactorial global change treatments There are 5-8 biological replicates for each of the sixteen...
Adventitious root formation at the base of plant cuttings is an innate de novo organogenesis process that allows massive vegetative propagation of many economically and ecologically important species. The early molecular events following shoot excision are not well understood. Using whole-genome mic...
