  2. Rhizome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome

    An antique spurge plant, Euphorbia antiquorum, sending out white rhizomes. In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (/ ˈ r aɪ z oʊ m / RY-zohm) [note 1] is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. [3] Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and ...

  3. Protein-fragment complementation assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein-fragment...

    Any protein that can be split into two parts and reconstituted non-covalently to form a functional protein may be used in a PCA. The two fragments however have low affinity for each other and must be brought together by other interacting proteins fused to them (often called "bait" and "prey" since the bait protein can be used to identify a prey ...

  4. Plant defense against herbivory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_defense_against_herb...

    Plant defense against herbivory or host-plant resistance is a range of adaptations evolved by plants which improve their survival and reproduction by reducing the impact of herbivores. Many plants produce secondary metabolites , known as allelochemicals , that influence the behavior, growth, or survival of herbivores.

    Euphorbia as a small tree: Euphorbia dendroides. Euphorbia is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants, commonly called spurge, in the family Euphorbiaceae.. Euphorbias range from tiny annual plants to large and long-lived trees, [2] with perhaps the tallest being Euphorbia ampliphylla at 30 m (98 ft) or more.

  7. Plant root exudates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_root_exudates

    In one study the scientist studied how plant root exudates can manipulate the environment of the rhizosphere which in turn causes feedback in the soil to the plant . The plants they studied for this experiment were wheat and maize species which release a secondary metabolite known as Benzoxazinoids which is a defensive metabolite. [8]

  8. Tandem affinity purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_Affinity_Purification

    There are a few methods in which the fusion protein can be introduced into the host cells. If the host is yeast, then one of the methods may be the use of plasmids that will eventually translate the fusion protein within the host. Whichever method that is being used, it is preferable to maintain expression of the fusion protein as close as ...

    Jatropha plant Jatropha plant Jatropha plant. Jatropha is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. The name is derived from the Greek words ἰατρός (iatros), meaning "physician", and τροφή (trophe), meaning "nutrition", hence the common name physic nut. Another common name is nettlespurge. [2]
