Graduate student André Velásquez from Greg Martin’s lab shows how to do Virus-induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) in Nicotiana benthamiana and Tomato in a JOVE publication.

BTI scientists sequenced the nuclear genome of Chlamydomonas and performed comparative phylogenomic analyses, identifying genes encoding proteins that are likely associated with the function and biogenesis of chloroplasts or eukaryotic flagella.

BTI scientists present microarray expression profiles of a high-resolution set of developmental time points within a single Arabidopsis root and a comprehensive map of nearly all root cell types.

In plants, the mobile signal for systemic acquired resistance (SAR), an organism-wide state of enhanced defense to subsequent infections, has been elusive. BTI scientists find that MeSA is a SAR signal in tobacco.

Discovery could lead to development of crops with enhanced yield, heightened immunity and reduced need for pesticides.

Recent research in Maria Harrison’s lab has exposed the vital importance of phosphorous transfer is in some relationships between plants and fungi.

A long time ago, in a land of primordial goo, two bacteria lent new meaning to the word “teamwork.”
