Populationsgenetische Fragmentanalyse von europäischen Heterobasidion annosum s. s.-Stämmen
(2016-03-23)
Die fünf Arten des Heterobasidion annosum s. l.-Komplexes sind in Nordamerika und Eurasien dafür bekannt große Schäden in Nadelforsten zu verursachen. In Deutschland sind mit H. annsosum s. s., H. parviporum und H. abietinum alle drei eurasischen Weißfäuleerreger sympatrisch vertreten. Besonders in der Norddeutschen Tiefebene fallen H. annsoums s. s.-Stämme durch ansteigende Befallsherde und hohe Pathogenität auf. Seit Jahren untersucht die Nordwestdeutsche forstliche Versuchsanstalt (NW-FVA) Göttingen die Zusammenhänge ...

Artificial micro RNA system in Dictyostelium discoideum
(2011-01-12)
Dictyostelium discoideum is a social amoeba that serves as a model system for RNA interference and related mechanisms. Its position between plants and animals enables evolutionary snapshot of mechanisms and protein machinery involved in investigated subjects. MiRNAs are small regulatory RNAs that are evolutionary conserved and present in animals, plants, viruses and some prokaryotes. They have roles in development, cell growth and differentiation, apoptosis and their miss-regulation is associated with many diseases ...

Loss of wobble uridine modification in tRNA anticodons interferes with TOR pathway signaling
(2014)
Previous work in yeast has suggested that modification of tRNAs, in particular uridine bases in the anticodon wobble position (U34), is linked to TOR (target of rapamycin) signaling. Hence, U34 modification mutants were found to be hypersensitive to TOR inhibition by rapamycin. To study whether this involves inappropriate TOR signaling, we examined interaction between mutations in TOR pathway genes (tip41Δ, sap190Δ, ppm1Δ, rrd1Δ) and U34 modification defects (elp3Δ, kti12Δ, urm1Δ, ncs2Δ) and found the rapamycin ...

Microsatellites from Fosterella christophii (Bromeliaceae) by de novo transcriptome sequencing on the Pacific Biosciences RS platform
(2016)
• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were developed in Fosterella christophii (Bromeliaceae) to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure within the F. micrantha group, comprising F. christophii, F. micrantha, and F. villosula. • Methods and Results: Full-length cDNAs were isolated from F. christophii and sequenced on a Pacific Biosciences RS platform. A total of 1590 high-quality consensus isoforms were assembled into 971 unigenes containing 421 perfect microsatellites. Thirty primer sets ...

Schadenserhebung, Kartierung und Charakterisierung des „Diplodia-Triebsterbens“ der Kiefer, insbesondere des endophytischen Vorkommens in den klimasensiblen Räumen und Identifikation von den in Kiefer (Pinus sylvestris) vorkommenden Endophyten
(2018-09-21)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde das Auftreten des Diplodia-Triebsterbens der Kiefer (Erreger: Sphaeropsis sapinea) entlang eines Transekts von Nordost- nach Südwestdeutschland durch klimasensible Räume untersucht. Dazu wurden systematische Beprobungen entlang eines Transekts vorgenommen und weitere 12 Kiefernbestände intensiv untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen zeigten, dass dem Auftreten des Diplodia-Triebsterbens in der Regel eine Devitalisierung der Kiefer voraus geht. Auslösende Faktoren können nach ...

Characterization of Lipid Droplets and Functional Analysis of Lipid Droplet-Associated Proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum
(2013-05-23)
Lipid droplets (LDs) are the universal storage form of fat as a reservoir of metabolic energy in animals, plants, bacteria and single celled eukaryotes. Dictyostelium LD formation was investigated in response to the addition of different nutrients to the growth medium. LDs were induced by adding exogenous cholesterol, palmitic acid (PA) as well as growth in bacterial suspension, while glucose addition fails to form LDs. Among these nutrients, PA addition is most effective to stimulate LD formation, and depletion of ...

Signaling of Pigment-Dispersing Factor (PDF) in the Madeira Cockroach Rhyparobia maderae
(2014)
The insect neuropeptide pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) is a functional ortholog of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, the coupling factor of the mammalian circadian pacemaker. Despite of PDF's importance for synchronized circadian locomotor activity rhythms its signaling is not well understood. We studied PDF signaling in primary cell cultures of the accessory medulla, the circadian pacemaker of the Madeira cockroach. In Ca2+ imaging studies four types of PDF-responses were distinguished. In regularly bursting type ...
