ABSTRACT Soybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil salinity severely limits soybean growth by disrupting physiological and metabolic homeostasis.

Regulation of Allantoin and Allantoic Acid Degradation in the Yam and Sweet Potato
In the regulation of allantoin and allantoic acid degradation in root tubers, allantoic acid is the substrate for allantoicase and allantoate amidohydrolase while allantoin is the substrate for allantoinase.

Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine‐containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines normally would. Guanidine may act as a signal to help cells control the level of reactive oxygen species.

Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Arginine metabolism is a biomarker of red blood cell and human aging
Reisz et al. examined age‐related changes in erythrocyte metabolism using 15,700 specimens from 13,757 individuals across four cohorts, including healthy donors and sickle cell disease patients. The study identifies alterations in arginine metabolism associated with chronological age, linking them to erythrocyte function, vesiculation, and post ...

While some organisms, including humans, eliminate oxidized purines to get rid of excess nitrogen, for many others the recovery of the purine ring nitrogen is vital.

Summary In this review, we untangle the physiological key functions of the essential micronutrients and link them to the deficiency responses in plants. Knowledge of these responses at the mechanistic level, and the resulting deficiency symptoms, have improved over the last decade and it appears timely to review recent insights for each of them.
