High throughput, high resolution selection of polymorphic microsatellite loci for multiplex analysisPlant Methods - Tập 1 - Trang 1-5 - 2005
Nicholas C Cryer, David R Butler, Mike J Wilkinson
Large-scale genetic profiling, mapping and genetic association studies require access to a series of well-characterised and polymorphic microsatellite markers with distinct and broad allele ranges. Selection of complementary microsatellite markers with non-overlapping allele ranges has historically proved to be a bottleneck in the development of multiplex microsatellite assays. The characterisatio...... hiện toàn bộ
Screening natural product extracts for potential enzyme inhibitors: protocols, and the standardisation of the usage of blanks in α-amylase, α-glucosidase and lipase assaysPlant Methods - Tập 17 - Trang 1-19 - 2021

Enzyme assays have widespread applications in drug discovery from plants to natural products. The appropriate use of blanks in enzyme assays is important for assay baseline-correction, and the correction of false signals associated with background matrix interferences. However, the blank-correction procedures reported in published literature are highly inconsistent. We investigated the influence o...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
Plant plasma membrane transporters play essential roles during the translocation of vectorized agrochemicals. Therefore, transporters associated with phloem loading of vectorized agrochemicals have drawn increasing attention. As a model system, castor bean (Ricinus c...... hiện toàn bộ
Fingerprinting antioxidative activities in plantsPlant Methods - Tập 5 - Trang 1-18 - 2009
Livia Saleh, Christoph Plieth
A plethora of concurrent cellular activities is mobilised in the adaptation of plants to adverse environmental conditions. This response can be quantified by physiological experiments or metabolic profiling. The intention of this work is to reduce the number of metabolic processes studied to a minimum of relevant parameters with a maximum yield of information. Therefore, we inspected 'summary para...... hiện toàn bộ
The combination of gas-phase fluorophore technology and automation to enable high-throughput analysis of plant respirationPlant Methods - Tập 13 - Trang 1-13 - 2017

Mitochondrial respiration in the dark (R
dark) is a critical plant physiological process, and hence a reliable, efficient and high-throughput method of measuring variation in rates of R
dark is essential for agronomic and ecological studies. However, currently methods used to measure R
dark in plant tissues are typica...... hiện toàn bộ
Heritable gene editing using FT mobile guide RNAs and DNA virusesPlant Methods - Tập 17 - Trang 1-11 - 2021

The virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) system can be used to quickly identify gene functions and generate knock-out libraries as an alternative to the virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). Although plant virus-mediated VIGE has been shown to have great application prospects, edited genes cannot be transferred to the next generations using this system, as viruses cannot enter into shoot apical meri...... hiện toàn bộ
A phenol/chloroform-free method to extract nucleic acids from recalcitrant, woody tropical species for gene expression and sequencingPlant Methods - Tập 15 - Trang 1-13 - 2019

Woody tropical plants contain high levels of complex organic compounds that inhibit the chemical procedures needed to extract RNA or DNA, thus compromising downstream applications such as RNA sequencing and analysis of gene expression. To overcome this issue, researchers must use extraction protocols using CTAB/PVP buffer instead of commercially available DNA/RNA extraction kits. However, these pr...... hiện toàn bộ
