• AtHESPERIN: A novel regulator of circadian rhythms with poly(A)-degrading activity in plants 

      Delis C., Krokida A., Tomatsidou A., Tsikou D., Beta R.A.A., Tsioumpekou M., Moustaka J., Stravodimos G., Leonidas D.D., Balatsos N.A.A., Papadopoulou K.K. (2016)
      We report the identification and characterization of a novel gene, AtHesperin (AtHESP) that codes for a deadenylase in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene is under circadian clock-gene regulation and has similarity to the ...
    • Bridging plant and human radiation response and DNA repair through an in silico approach 

      Nikitaki Z., Pavlopoulou A., Holá M., Donà M., Michalopoulos I., Balestrazzi A., Angelis K.J., Georgakilas A.G. (2017)
      The mechanisms of response to radiation exposure are conserved in plants and animals. The DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are the predominant molecular pathways activated upon exposure to radiation, both in plants and ...
    • Glucosinolate biosynthesis in Eruca sativa 

      Katsarou D., Omirou M., Liadaki K., Tsikou D., Delis C., Garagounis C., Krokida A., Zambounis A., Papadopoulou K.K. (2016)
      Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a highly important group of secondary metabolites in the Caparalles order, both due to their significance in plant-biome interactions and to their chemoprotective properties. This study identified ...
    • Overexpression of a biotic stress‐inducible pvgstu gene activates early protective responses in tobacco under combined heat and drought 

      Stavridou E., Voulgari G., Michailidis M., Kostas S., Chronopoulou E.G., Labrou N.E., Madesis P., Nianiou‐obeidat I. (2021)
      Drought and heat stresses are major factors limiting crop growth and productivity, and their effect is more devastating when occurring concurrently. Plant glutathione transferases (GSTs) are differentially expressed in ...
