ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed a unique Nicotiana tabacum BY‐2 line that was gradually adapted to and subsequently maintained in 190 mM NaCl for over 15 years. Years of continuous high salinity shaped a stable “new homeostasis” in BY‐2 suspension cells. Salt‐adapted cells were smaller and formed tighter clusters. Metabolomics revealed constitutive

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Abstract figure legend Both ATP synthase and adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) play key roles in mediating the permeability transition. The contribution of ANT becomes evident in the presence of atractylate (ATR) at pH 6.5, a condition that prevents ATP synthase channel activity. At pH 7.4, this effect is minimal, suggesting a critical role for ATP

Xylose isomerase (XI) (D-xylose ketol isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) is used to convert D-glucose to D-fructose in the production of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

Structure and function relationship among the peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases
Proteins exist in two conformers. The trans conformation is favored by the most of the amino acids. The proline residue due to its unique geometry has a high probability of being in the cis conformation.

Ferroptosis is governed by the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐driven lipid peroxidation and a multi‐tiered antioxidant network. ROS sources include mitochondrial electron transport chain, voltage‐dependent anion channels, NADPH oxidases, and endoplasmic reticulum‐resident oxidoreductases, while antioxidant defenses span the primary GSH ...

Stretching mechanics of biomolecules probed by optical tweezers
DNA stretching mechanics in Tris buffer and PBS buffer was briefly studied and compared. When the buffer was changed from tris buffer to PBS buffer that has a much higher ionic strength, the transition force didn’t change evidenly, however, the ...
