I work in the House of Glass Group - Drosophila at University of Chile. I have found this page because I was searching for Drosophila protocols, and I wanted to start a lab page

3. Belly dance (in my free time)

Publications

1. Ibar C and Orellana A. The import of S-adenosylmethionine into the Golgi apparatus is required for the methylation of homogalacturonan. Plant Physiol. 2007 Oct;145(2):504-12. DOI:10.1104/pp.107.104679 |

   This is a paper about a topic that I was working before changing of model. It is about plant cell wall, and how happens the methylation of one of its components: pectins. This mediates the adhesion between them.
