<b>Floral dip: a simplified method for</b><i><b>Agrobacterium</b></i><b>‐mediated transformation of</b><i><b>Arabidopsis thaliana</b></i>

Steven J. Clough, Andrew F. Bent · 1 Dec 1998

The Agrobacterium vacuum infiltration method has made it possible to transform Arabidopsis thaliana without plant tissue culture or regeneration. In the present study, this method was evaluated and a substantially modified transformation method was developed. The labor-intensive vacuum infiltration process was eliminated in favor of simple dipping of developing floral tissues into a solution containing…

Microalgal triacylglycerols as feedstocks for biofuel production: perspectives and advances

Qiang Hu, Milton R. Sommerfeld, Eric Jarvis et al. · 1 May 2008

Microalgae represent an exceptionally diverse but highly specialized group of micro-organisms adapted to various ecological habitats. Many microalgae have the ability to produce substantial amounts (e.g. 20-50% dry cell weight) of triacylglycerols (TAG) as a storage lipid under photo-oxidative stress or other adverse environmental conditions. Fatty acids, the building blocks for TAGs and all other…

Efficient transformation of rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) mediated by <i>Agrobacterium</i> and sequence analysis of the boundaries of the T‐DNA

Yukoh Hiei, Shozo Ohta, Toshihiko Komari et al. · 1 Aug 1994

A large number of morphologically normal, fertile, transgenic rice plants were obtained by co-cultivation of rice tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The efficiency of transformation was similar to that obtained by the methods used routinely for transformation of dicotyledons with the bacterium. Stable integration, expression and inheritance of transgenes were demonstrated by molecular and genetic analysis…

Structural models of primary cell walls in flowering plants: consistency of molecular structure with the physical properties of the walls during growth

Nicholas C. Carpita, David M. Gibeaut · 1 Jan 1993

Advances in determination of polymer structure and in preservation of structure for electron microscopy provide the best view to date of how polysaccharides and structural proteins are organized into plant cell walls. The walls that form and partition dividing cells are modified chemically and structurally from the walls expanding to provide a cell with its…

<scp>mapman</scp> : a user‐driven tool to display genomics data sets onto diagrams of metabolic pathways and other biological processes

Oliver Thimm, Oliver E. Bläsing, Yves Gibon et al. · 25 Feb 2004

MAPMAN is a user-driven tool that displays large data sets onto diagrams of metabolic pathways or other processes. SCAVENGER modules assign the measured parameters to hierarchical categories (formed 'BINs', 'subBINs'). A first build of TRANSCRIPTSCAVENGER groups genes on the Arabidopsis Affymetrix 22K array into >200 hierarchical categories, providing a breakdown of central metabolism (for several…

The Plant Journal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Plant Journal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Plant Journal template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The Plant Journal use?
The Plant Journal uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." The Plant Journal 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Plant Journal?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready The Plant Journal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The Plant Journal template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Plant Journal format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes The Plant Journal?
The Plant Journal is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's The Plant Journal template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Plant Journal PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Plant Journal template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Plant Journal template cost?
You can start writing in the The Plant Journal template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Plant Journal PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
