a novel mechanism, linked to cell density, largely controls cell division in synechocystis
Esteves-Ferreira, Alberto A.; Inaba, Masami; Obata, Toshihiro; Fort, Antoine; Fleming, Gerard T.A.; Araújo, Wagner L.; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Sulpice, Ronan (American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), 2017-06-23)Many studies have investigated the various genetic and environmental factors regulating cyanobacterial growth. Here, we investigated the growth and metabolism of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under different nitrogen sources, ... -
Disaggregating polyploidy, parental genome dosage and hybridity contributions to heterosis in arabidopsis thaliana
Fort, Antoine; Ryder, Peter; McKeown, Peter C.; Wijnen, Cris; Aarts, Mark G.; Sulpice, Ronan; Spillane, Charles (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)Heterosis is the phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring of genetically divergent parents display superior characteristics compared with their parents. Although hybridity and polyploidy can influence heterosis in hybrid plants, ... -
Hybridity has a greater effect than paternal genome dosage on heterosis in sugar beet (beta vulgaris)
Hallahan, Brendan F.; Fernandez-Tendero, Eva; Fort, Antoine; Ryder, Peter; Dupouy, Gilles; Deletre, Marc; Curley, Edna; Brychkova, Galina; Schulz, Britta; Spillane, Charles (Springer Nature, 2018-06-15)Background: The phenomenon of heterosis is critical to plant breeding and agricultural productivity. Heterosis occurs when F1 hybrid offspring display quantitative improvements in traits to levels that do not occur in the ... -
Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds
McKeown, Peter C.; Laouielle-Duprat, Sylvia; Donoghue, Mark T.A.; Fort, Antoine; Duszynska, Dorota; Aurélie, Comte; Lao, Nga T.; Spillane, Charles (2011)Background: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants. While many imprinted genes have been identified ... -
Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in arabidopsis thaliana seeds
McKeown, Peter C; Laouielle-Duprat, Sylvia; Prins, Pjotr; Wolff, Philip; Schmid, Marc W; Donoghue, Mark TA; Fort, Antoine; Duszynska, Dorota; Comte, Aurélie; Lao, Nga; Wennblom, Trevor J; Smant, Geert; Köhler, Claudia; Grossniklaus, Ueli; Spillane, Charles (Springer Nature, 2011-01-01)Background: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants. While many imprinted genes have been identified ... -
Magnetic beads, a particularly effective novel method for extraction of ngs-ready dna from macroalgae
Fort, Antoine; Guiry, Michael D.; Sulpice, Ronan (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01)Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies allow for the generation of robust information on the genetic diversity of organisms at the individual, species and higher taxon levels. Indeed, the number of single nucleotide ... -
Microrna-9 inhibition of cell proliferation and identification of novel mir-9 targets by transcriptome profiling in breast cancer cells
Selcuklu, S. Duygu; Donoghue, Mark T. A.; Rehmet, Kristina; de Souza Gomes, Matheus; Fort, Antoine; Kovvuru, Prasad; Muniyappa, Mohan K.; Kerin, Michael J.; Enright, Anton J.; Spillane, Charles (American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 2012-07-02)Although underexpression of miR-9 in cancer cells is reported in many cancer types, it is currently difficult to classify miR-9 as a tumor suppressor or an oncomir. We demonstrate that miR-9 expression is down-regulated ...
