New Phytologist, EarlyView.Proposed model for altered carbon partitioning in wild‐type (a) and tgd1 sdp1 adg1‐1 Arabidopsis triple mutant (b). Summary Enhancing lipid accumulation by redirecting carbon from starch to triacylglycerol (TAG) in vegetative tissues is a promising strategy for developing high‐energy‐density crops for bioenergy production. However, our understanding of

Identification and characterization of sterol acyltransferases responsible for steryl ester biosynthesis in tomato [PDF]
Steryl esters (SEs) serve as a storage pool of sterols that helps to maintain proper levels of free sterols (FSs) in cell membranes throughout plant growth and development, and participates in the recycling of FSs and fatty acids released from cell ...

The ComEA/ComEC Operon is Critical for Nitrosative Stress Tolerance by an Oral Commensal
Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oral commensal streptococci play a large role in mediating microbial homeostasis. Our prior work has demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by oral commensal streptococci can react with salivary nitrite (NO2) and generate peroxynitrite (ONOO−), a potent antimicrobial.

Haplotypes and Machine Learning Improve Genomic Prediction in Brassica napus
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is a crop and livestock improvement method suited for predicting complex agronomical traits, while genomic prediction (GP) is the development of GS models prior to their practical use in breeding programs. One of the challenges in GP is accounting for how complex genomic interactions, such as epistasis, affect the ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roots emerging from seeds encounter substantial mechanical resistance during soil entry. A transient root cap cuticle (RCC) forms early in development, yet its contribution to root tip function during this mechanically challenging transition remains unclear.

Codocytosis in the Dog: 345 Cases (2020–2022)
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Codocytes, or target cells, are a morphologic variation of erythrocytes characterized by increased membrane surface area relative to volume. In dogs, codocytosis is frequently noted on blood smear evaluation, but its clinical significance remains poorly understood. Objectives To characterize the clinical conditions associated with
