Tales of poly(A): a review
David Munroe,Allan Jacobson +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the 3'-poly(A) tail should be considered a translational enhancer which may stimulate translational initiation in much the same way that transcriptional enhancers are thought to stimulate transcriptional initiation.

Cell suspension and protoplast culture in rice
Kinya Toriyama,Kokichi Hinata +1 more
TL;DR: A finely dispersed cell suspension was obtained from anther-derived rice callus cultured in AA medium, which contained an amino acid mixture as the sole nitrogen source and promoted the release of protoplasts effectively.

First isolation of an isoprene synthase gene from poplar and successful expression of the gene in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: Omitting the part of the gene that putatively encoded the signal peptide necessary for transport into the chloroplast led to an enhanced rate of isoprene formation by the recombinant protein.

Evidence of a Role for LytB in the Nonmevalonate Pathway of Isoprenoid Biosynthesis
TL;DR: The combination of lytB and a cDNA encoding IPP isomerase was no more effective in enhancing carotenoid accumulation than ipi alone, indicating that the ratio of IPP and DMAPP produced via the DOXP pathway is influenced by LytB.
