Overexpression of Arabidopsis PP2CA2 gene shows phenotypes related to abscisic acid responses
In this study we overexpressed PP2CA2 gene in Arabidopsis to provide genetic evidence on this gene function in seed germination and other plant responses. The average seed germination percentage of constitutive expression of AtPP2CA2 under a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (35S::AtPP2CA2) was lower than that of wild type under 0.3 and 1 uM exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), indicating an increased...

Molecular characterization of fusion transcripts in prostate cancer patients: A tool having diagnostic implications in Pakistan
Substantial fraction of information has been added with reference to fusion transcripts in hematological malignancies. However these fusion transcripts have been characterized in epithelial cells of prostate and are documented to gear up the process of neoplasia. TMPRSS2-ERG and related transcripts are key offenders in the subversion of core biological systems driving oncogenic transformation. In an RT PCR based study,...
