Mg. Lopezbilbao et al., A SUBSTRATE-DEPENDENT GENIC EXPRESSION MODIFICATION STUDY IN THE LICHEN XANTHORIA-PARIETINA, Cryptogamie. Bryologie, lichenologie, 17(1), 1996, pp. 15-22
Several samples of Xanthoria parietina were collected from seven diffe
rent substrates from the same geographic area. Total proteins were ext
racted and analyzed in a two dimension polyacrylamide gel electrophore
sis system (PAGE). The comparison of the seven patterns revealed a hig
h variability which could be explained by environmental factors such a
s the insolation degree and the nature of different substrates.
