THE RESPONSE TO CABBAGE LOOPER INFESTATION IN ARABIDOPSIS IS ALTERED BY LOWERING LEVELS OF ZAT18 A Q-TYPE C2H2 ZINC FINGER PROTEIN

The response to cabbage looper infestation in Arabidopsis is altered by lowering levels of Zat18 a Q-type C2H2 zinc finger protein

Q-type C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) play a role in plant stress response.Overexpression of individual ZFPs enhances tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought or salt.Overexpression of ZFP, Zat18 enhances tolerance to drought, whereas plants with lower amounts are less resilient.The effect of Zat18 loss on gene expression has not been charac

The process of EDC-NHS cross-linking of reconstituted collagen fibres increases collagen fibrillar order and alignment

We describe the production of collagen fibre bundles through a multi-strand, semi-continuous extrusion process.Cross-linking using an EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide), NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) prolock fittings combination was considered.Atomic Force Microscopy and Raman spectroscopy focused on how cross-linking affected the col
