Project description:The aim of this study was to determine the role of genes encoding polygalacturonases in strawberry fruit softening. To this purpose, several transgenic lines, cv. Chandler, were generated: plants with PG genes FaPG1 or FaPG2 downregulated, alone or in combination, by antisense transformation. Plants were grown in a confined greenhouse and fruits were harvested at the stage of full ripeness (100% of fruit surface red). The results obtained indicate that the silencing of these genes reduced fruit softening at similar level but there is not a sinergistic effect on fruit firmness.
Project description:Wild type and somatostatin 3 (Sst3) gene CrispR/Cas9 mutants of the AB zebrafish strain were treated with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to determine the role of sst3 in the innate immune response.
Project description:HUVECs transfected with siRNA targeting Neuropilin 1(NRP1) (si-NRP1) or a control non-targeting sequence (si-control) and exposed to unidirectional shear stress (20dyns/cm2), oscillatory flow (5dyn/cm2) or kept in absence of flow.
