Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

Calcium and Nitrogen Availability Controls Root Exudation in Hydroponically Cultured Barley

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudation is a key component of plant‐rhizosphere interactome. It is increasingly evident that root exudates influence rhizospheric microbial communities and in turn can benefit plants through improved resource allocation. However, how suboptimal nutrient availability relates to control of root exudation is poorly understood.

Black Gram (Vigna mungo L.) Hull as a Source of Soluble Dietary Fiber: Preparation and Application in Chocolate Cake With Lowering Glycemic Index

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Black gram hull (BGH), by‐product from a sprouting process, is a source of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) with bioactivity, making it an interesting ingredient for development of food products with health‐promoting effect. This research aims to examine the effect of alkaline‐aided extraction (0.5%, 1%, and 2% NaOH solutions) on physicochemical ...

DNA recognition, cleavage, and toxic metal ion interaction of an artificial zinc finger protein inside E. coli cells

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Zinc finger proteins are essential for the proper functioning of eukaryotic organisms, while their artificial variants can be used in cancer therapy or gene editing via their specific DNA recognition. Zn(II) binding is indispensable for the structural integrity of zinc fingers.

Genome association of carbohydrate metabolites provides new insights toward functional breeding in coffee

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, derived mainly from Coffea arabica, known for its superior flavor, and Coffea canephora (Robusta/Conilon), valued for its resilience and higher caffeine content. Functional breeding aims to develop cultivars that combine productivity and stress tolerance with improved health‐related ...

Rhamnogalacturonan‐II Dimerisation Reinforces Salt Resistance in Sugar Beet

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3082-3100, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress predominantly affects negatively charged cell wall polymers, for example, pectin. Excess Na+ ions interact physically and affect growth in stress‐sensitive plants. However, the salinity resistance of sugar beet cell walls remains unclear.

d-arabinose induces cell cycle arrest by promoting autophagy via p38 MAPK signaling pathway in breast cancer

Scientific Reports
Breast cancer patients often have a poor prognosis largely due to lack of effective targeted therapy. It is now well established that monosaccharide enhances growth retardation and chemotherapy sensitivity in tumor cells.
