Uptake and translocation of foliar applied phosphite and its effect on growth and development in cool season turfgrass (2022)
Journal Article

Phosphate (PO43-, Pi) is the sole phosphorus (P) containing compound utilized for plant growth, leading to the widespread use of Pi containing fertilizers. An alternative form of P, phosphite (PO33-, Phi) has increasingly been used in many crop syste...

Targeting the ERG oncogene with splice-switching oligonucleotides as a novel therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The ERG oncogene, a member of the ETS family of transcription factor encoding genes, is a genetic driver of prostate cancer. It is activated through a fusion with the androgen-responsive TMPRSS2 promoter in 50% of cases. There is therefor...

Hypoxia leads to significant changes in alternative splicing and elevated expression of CLK splice factor kinases in PC3 prostate cancer cells (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Mounting evidence suggests that one of the ways that cells adapt to hypoxia is through alternative splicing. The aim of this study was firstly to examine the effect of hypoxia on the alternative splicing of cancer as...

The oncogenic transcription factor ERG represses the transcription of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN in prostate cancer cells (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, Spandidos Publications. All rights reserved. The oncogene ETS-related gene (ERG) encodes a transcription factor with roles in the regulation of haematopoiesis, angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, inflammation, migration and invasion. The ERG oncoge... Read More about The oncogenic transcription factor ERG represses the transcription of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN in prostate cancer cells.

Residual ground-water levels of the neonicotinoid thiacloprid perturb chemosensing of Caenorhabditis elegans (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). This study investigated the neurological effects of residual ground-water levels of thiaclopridon the non-target organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Nematodes treated with thiacloprid showed a dose-dependent and significantly incr...

The evolutionarily conserved multifunctional glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins play key roles in development and stress adaptation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society. The class IV glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins are a distinct subgroup within the heterogenous superfamily of glycine-rich proteins (GRPs). They are distinguished by the presence of an RNA-binding domain...
