Halo-RPD: searching for RNA-binding protein targets in plants by A. O. Shamustakimova

“…The proposed protocol uses plants with stable fusion protein expression and Magne® HaloTag® magnetic beads to capture RNA-protein complexes directly from the cytoplasmic lysate of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The key stages described in the paper are as follows: (1) preparation of the magnetic beads; (2) tissue homogenization and collection of control samples; (3) precipitation and wash of RNA-protein complexes; (4) evaluation of protein binding efficiency; (5) RNA isolation; (6) analysis of the RNA obtained. …”

Control of meiotic crossing over in plant breeding by S. R. Strelnikova, R. A. Komakhin

“…Their suppression made it possible to significantly increase the frequency of meiotic recombination between homeologues in the interspecific hybrid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae × S. paradoxus and between homologues in arabidopsis plants (Arabidopsis thaliana L.). Also discussed are attempts to extrapolate these results to other plant species, in which a decrease in reproductive properties and microsatellite instability in the genome have been noted. …”
