“Natural antisense long noncoding RNAs: characteristics and role in gene-expression regulation“ Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nt and without protein-coding capacity that have been identified due to the massive use of deep-sequencing methods, which have revealed that most of the genome is transcribed. Natural antisense lncRNAs (NAT-lncRNAs) are transcribed from […]

SEMINAR MANUEL GONZÁLEZ GUERRERO (CBGP, MADRID) 19TH NOVEMBER

“Role of metals in plant-microbe interactions” The optimal biological range of transition metal nutrient concentrations is very narrow. At low concentrations, key physiological processes fail, and the organism cannot function; at slightly higher ones, metals become toxic, and the organism may die. Plants have become adept at using metal homeostasis to favour beneficial microorganisms and […]
