Project description19. 9. 2013 Introducing the Biology centre Biology Centre (BC) of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (AS CR) is a public research institution (v.v.i.) founded by AS CR that provides about half of...
Preparation of capsid protein constructs from GFLV based on local isolates3. 9. 2013 Coat protein genes of grapevine fanleaf virus local strains isolated in South-Moravia, Czech Republic were sequenced, and artificial coat protein gene was designed and synthesized that retains...
Finding the two plasmids existing in high copy numbers in phytoplasma cells3. 9. 2013 Presence and characteristic of phytoplasma plasmid are not known too much. Two plasmids associated with two strains of „Candidatus phytoplasma asteris“ have been obtained from two plant species....
Revealing the molecular structure and function of plant nuclease with anticancerogenic potential3. 9. 2013 Plant nuclease (protein cleaving nucleic acids, like DNA) TBN1from tomato has an anticancerogenic effects on human tumors. Using plant biotechnology, sufficient amount of TBN1 was prepared and...
Structure of photosynthetic apparatus of brown alga Xanthonema debile3. 9. 2013 Using electron techniques we have determined and compared structure of the photosynthetic apparatus of brown algae X. debile. Structure of both photosystems I and II is similar to those of higher...
Examining the antiviral activity of tenofovir against Cauliflower mosaic virus and its metabolism in Brassica pekinensis plants3. 9. 2013 Antiviral effect of tenofovir - antivirotic developed by prof. A. Holý - onto model plant DNA virus Cauliflower mosaic virus was evaluated. Six to nine weeks after tenofovir treatment of infected...
Characterization of repetitive DNA in complex genomes of the selected plant species3. 9. 2013 Repetitive DNA makes up significant portions of higher plant nuclear genomes. Therefore, investigation of sequence composition, genome organization and evolution of the repetitive DNA is...
First direct measurement of light absorption on individual light-harvesting complexes of fotosynthetic bacteria3. 9. 2013 Chlorosomes are specific light-harvesting complexes of photosynthetic bacteria, made of aggregated bacteriochlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments. They are able to absorb and transfer light...
Antagonistic and synergistic effects of protistan grazing and viral lysis on production and community composition bacterioplankton3. 9. 2013 Protistan bacterivory and lysis of bacterial cells by specific viruses, bacteriophages, are two most important factors responsible for shaping the dynamics and community composition of...
Application of the PDMPO technique in studying silica deposition in natural populations of Fragilaria crotonensis (Bacillariophyceae) at different depths in a eutrophic reservoir3. 9. 2013 In July – October 2006 at weekly intervals, we measured silica deposition in the summer diatom assemblage at various depths in a eutrophic Římov Reservoir using PDMPO labelling technique. Diatom...
