Protocol: a highly sensitive RT-PCR method for detection and quantification of microRNAs
TL;DR: In this article, an end-point and real-time looped RT-PCR procedure was proposed to detect miRNAs from as little as 20 pg of plant tissue total RNA and from total RNA isolated from 0.1 μl of phloem sap.
Journal Article
Protocol : A highly sensitive RT-PCR method for detection and quantification of microRNAs
TL;DR: Using this assay, it is demonstrated that miRNAs are differentially expressed in the phloem sap and the surrounding vascular tissue and an alternative real-time PCR assay is developed that can further improve specificity when detecting low abundant mi RNAs.

TL;DR: A substantial expressed sequence tag collection from various tissues of apple is produced, focusing on fruit tissues of the cultivar Royal Gala, indicating the presence of many genes involved in disease resistance and the biosynthesis of flavor and health-associated compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rapid transcriptional activation is induced by the dormancy-breaking chemical hydrogen cyanamide in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) buds
Eric F. Walton,Rongmei Wu,Annette C. Richardson,Marcus Davy,Roger P. Hellens,Kate Thodey,Bart J. Janssen,Andrew P. Gleave,Georgina M. Rae,Marion Wood,Robert J. Schaffer +10 more
TL;DR: A genomics approach is presented here to increase the understanding of budbreak in kiwifruit, and one group of genes that was rapidly up-regulated in response to HC was the glutathione S-transferase (GST) class of genes, which have been associated with stress and signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Hydrogen Cyanamide on Amino Acid Profiles in Kiwifruit Buds during Budbreak.
TL;DR: By 7 days after hydrogen cyanamide treatment, the amount of proline had risen to nearly one-quarter of the total amino acid pool in the treated buds and that proportion was maintained for at least 14 days before it declined.
