A cDNA encoding farnesyl diphosphate synthase, an enzyme that synthesizes C15 isoprenoid diphosphate from isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, was cloned from an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library by complementation of a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in this enzyme.

## Summary It is currently thought that most flowering plants lack the capacity to synthesize trehalose, a common disaccharide of bacteria, fungi and invertebrates that appears to play a major role in desiccation tolerance. Attempts have therefore been made to render plants more droughtβresistant b
In this work the Neurospora crassa al-3 gene function was determined. Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) synthase activity was measured in al-2 FGSC 313 and al-3 RP100 FGSC 2082 mutant strains by in vitro synthesis methods. This experiment showed that al-3 RP100 mutant expresses a reduced GGPP synt
## Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) microglia (MG) and peripheral tissue macrophages (MO) remove pathogens by phagocytosis. Zymosan, a model yeast pathogen, is a Ξ²βglucan rich particle that readily activates the complement system and then becomes C3biβopsonized (op). Complement receptorβ3 (CR3
