Lectins are proteins that bind specifically to carbohydrates and are active in plant defense and other processes. The sequencing of the flax (Linum usitatissimum) genome showed that it was unusually rich in genes predicted to encode one or more agglutinin domains (PFAM PF07468). This domain is...

STRESS RESPONSES OF THE FLAX GENOME: ACTIVATION OF TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS, DEFENSE GENES AND GENOME RESTRUCTURING AND DIVERSIFICATION.
DownloadSpring 2017
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can move in the genome (transpose) via a DNA or a RNA intermediate. TEs are abundant in plant genomes and can be activated by stress. Their activity can result in structural and gene expression alterations that increase diversity within and among...

β-Galactosidases and Fasciclin-like Arabinogalactan Proteins in Flax (Linum usitatissimum) Phloem Fibre Development
DownloadFall 2013
The phloem fibres of flax (Linum usitatissimum) have specialized, cellulose-rich secondary walls of the gelatinous type (G-type), which give the fibres remarkable strength. G-type walls are also found in tension wood of many trees. β-galactosidases (BGAL) and fasciclin-like arabinogalactan (FLA)...
