Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Epitope-imprinted polymers: design principles of synthetic binding partners for natural biomacromolecules [PDF]
Molecular imprinting (MI) has been explored as an increasingly viable tool for molecular recognition in various fields. However, imprinting of biologically relevant molecules like proteins is severely hampered by several problems.

Upstream CB1R Regulation of β‐Adrenergic Memory Consolidation
ABSTRACT Object recognition memory (ORM) plays a key role in identifying familiar items and encoding episodic information. ORM consolidation depends on β‐adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling and is associated with increased BDNF expression in the dorsal hippocampus.

Understanding and manipulating non-templated peptide bond formation by macrocyclase enzymes [PDF]
Peptide macrocycles are attractive molecules because they are drug-like, protease resistant, cell permeable, and possess a rigid structure. They have been shown to possess various biological activities and to be able to inhibit protein-protein ...

Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

In the giant Pleurodeles waltl genome, introns serve as “structural buffers,” absorbing transposable elements (TEs) to protect coding exons. While this enables “gene body inflation,” persistent TE accumulation eventually leads to transcriptional silencing and functional collapse, or “burst,” of the gene architecture.

ABSTRACT α‐amanitin (α‐AMA), the primary lethal toxin of amanita, primarily targets the liver with a high toxicity and a low lethal dose. As the precise mechanism of intoxication is unclear, and specific antidotes are lacking, α‐AMA‐induced liver injury has a high mortality rate.

GLS1 interacts with RNA polymerase II subunits, ROLR2H and POLR2E, resulting in significant suppression of RNA polymerase II activity. Importantly, the investigation demonstrates that high‐protein diets, particularly glutamine, exert protective effects against alcoholic fatty liver through GLS1‐RNA polymerase II axis.
