• Analysis of castor bean ribosome-inactivating proteins and their gene expression during seed development 

      Morais, Guilherme Loss de; Zolet, Andreia Carina Turchetto; Etges, Matheus Fragoso; Cagliari, Alexandro; Korbes, Ana Paula; Maraschin, Felipe dos Santos; Margis-Pinheiro, Márcia; Margis, Rogerio (2013) [Artigo de periódico]
      Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that inhibit protein synthesis after depurination of a specific adenine in rRNA. The RIP family members are classified as type I RIPs that contain an RNA-N-glycosidase ...
    • Biosynthesis of triacylglycerols (tags) in plants and algae 

      Cagliari, Alexandro; Margis, Rogerio; Maraschin, Felipe dos Santos; Zolet, Andreia Carina Turchetto; Morais, Guilherme Loss de; Margis-Pinheiro, Márcia (2011) [Artigo de periódico]
      Triacylglycerols (TAGs), which consist of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol backbone, are major storage lipids that accumulate in developing seeds, flower petals, pollen grains, and fruits of innumerous plant species. ...
    • Evolutionary view of acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), a key enzyme in neutral lipid biosynthesis 

      Zolet, Andreia Carina Turchetto; Maraschin, Felipe dos Santos; Morais, Guilherme Loss de; Cagliari, Alexandro; Andrade, Claudia Marlise Balbinotti; Margis-Pinheiro, Márcia; Margis, Rogerio (2011) [Artigo de periódico]
      Background: Triacylglycerides (TAGs) are a class of neutral lipids that represent the most important storage form of energy for eukaryotic cells. DGAT (acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.20) is a transmembrane ...
    • Identifying conserved and novel MicroRNAs in developing seeds of Brassica napus using deep sequencing 

      Korbes, Ana Paula; Amorim, Carlos Eduardo Guerra; Machado, Ronei Dorneles; Guzman, Frank; Almerão, Maurício Pereira; Oliveira, Luiz Felipe Valter de; Morais, Guilherme Loss de; Zolet, Andreia Carina Turchetto; Cagliari, Alexandro; Maraschin, Felipe dos Santos; Margis-Pinheiro, Márcia; Margis, Rogerio (2012) [Artigo de periódico]
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of plant development and seed formation. In Brassica napus, an important edible oil crop, valuable lipids are synthesized and stored in specific seed tissues ...
    • The Lesion Simulating Disease (LSD) gene family as a variable in soybean response to PHAKOPSORA pachyrhizi infection and dehydration 

      Cabreira, Caroline; Cagliari, Alexandro; Bücker Neto, Lauro; Strohm, Beatriz Wiebke; Freitas, Loreta Brandão de; Guimarães, Francismar Correa Marcelino; Nepomuceno, Alexandre Lima; Margis-Pinheiro, Márcia; Bodanese-Zanettini, Maria Helena (2013) [Artigo de periódico]
      The Lesion Simulating Disease (LSD) genes encode a family of zinc finger proteins that are reported to play an important role in the hypersensitive response and programmed cell death (PCD) that are caused by biotic and ...
