Expression of an expansin carbohydrate-binding module affects xylem and phloem formation (2007)

Obembe, Olawole O., Jacobsen, Evert, Visser, Richard, Vincken, Jean-Paul

Expansins are believed to be involved in disrupting the non-covalent adhesion of cellulose to matrix polysaccharides, thereby promoting wall creep. We have targeted a putative potato expansin (EXPA)...

Selective Measurement of Starch Synthesizing Enzymes in Permeabilized Potato Tuber Slices 1

Ponstein, Anne S., Vos-Scheperkeuter, Greetje H., Jacobsen, Evert, Feenstra, Will J., Witholt, Bernard

Osmotically permeabilized potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber slices were used to study the biosynthesis of starch under semi in vivo conditions. Criteria to distinguish the various enzymes involved...

Osmotically permeabilized potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber slices were used to study the biosynthesis of starch under semi in vivo conditions. Criteria to distinguish the various enzymes involved...

Cisgenic plants are similar to traditionally bred plants: International regulations for genetically modified organisms should be altered to exempt cisgenesis

Genetic Positioning of Centromeres Using Half-Tetrad Analysis in a 4x–2x Cross Population of Potato

Park, Tae-Ho, Kim, Jong-Bo, Hutten, Ronald C. B., Van Eck, Herman J., Jacobsen, Evert, Visser, Richard G. F.

From biological and genetic standpoints, centromeres play an important role in the delivery of the chromosome complement to the daughter cells at cell division. The positions of the centromeres of...

Promiscuous, non-catalytic, tandem carbohydrate-binding modules modulate the cell-wall structure and development of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants

Obembe, Olawole O., Jacobsen, Evert, Timmers, Jaap, Gilbert, Harry, Blake, Anthony W., Knox, J. Paul, ...

We have compared heterologous expression of two types of carbohydrate binding module (CBM) in tobacco cell walls. These are the promiscuous CBM29 modules (a tandem CBM29-1-2 and its single derivative...

Effector Genomics Accelerates Discovery and Functional Profiling of Potato Disease Resistance and Phytophthora Infestans Avirulence Genes

Rietman, Hendrik, Krenek, Pavel, Champouret, Nicolas, Young, Carolyn, Oh, Sang-Keun, ...

Potato is the world's fourth largest food crop yet it continues to endure late blight, a devastating disease caused by the Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Breeding broad-spectrum...
