Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Optimized Fertilization Balances Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency: Evidence From Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

Proteolytic inactivation of leucine aminopeptidase in extracts from bean seeds: effect of solutes [PDF]

, 1987
Cotyledons from dwarf beans (Phaseolus vulgaris.L., var. "Saxa") were extracted at two different stages of germination. Extract from ungerminated seeds (low endopeptidase activity) contained high leucine aminopeptidase activity, which was stable for ...

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Resource Stoichiometry Shape Potential Nitrogen Limitation and Estimated Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency in Tropical Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar is widely recognized as a promising amendment for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and microbial functioning, yet how biochar properties and application levels jointly influence potential microbial nutrient limitation and estimated microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) remains unclear, especially in tropical farmland soils.

Chapter 6 Aminopeptidase I Enzymatic Activity

, 2008
Aminopeptidase I is the cargo protein of the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt), autophagy-like protein-targeting pathway of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nonclassical vacuolar biosynthetic transport route.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Regulation of the yeast vacuolar aminopeptidase Y gene (APY1) expression

, 1996
The steady-state levels of the aminopeptidase Y (APY1) transcript and the levels of assayable aminopeptidase Y activity were measured under a variety of nutritional conditions.

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...
