Downregulation of Tomato STEROL GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE 1 Perturbs Plant Development and Facilitates Viroid Infection
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a plant pathogen naturally infecting economically important crops such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Here, we aimed to engineer tomato plants highly resistant to PSTVd and developed ...
Structural characterization and identification of cyclic lipopeptides produced by Bacillus methylotrophicus DCS1 strain
Bacillus methylotrophicus DCS1 strain was isolated from diesel contaminated soil and screened for its ability to produce biosurfactants; it was found effective for the production of surface active molecules. The structural ...
