The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

Optimized LC-MS method for simultaneous polyamine profiling and ADC/ODC activity quantification and evidence that ADCs are indispensable for flower development in tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPolyamines (PAs) are essential for plant development and stress responses, requiring tight homeostatic regulation. As many PA enzymes are regulated post-transcriptionally, transcript-based methods cannot accurately predict protein abundance ...

Inoculation response of mycorrhizas on morphology and physiological behaviour of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) roots under salt stress

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
Citrus is highly sensitive to salt stress, and little efforts have been successful microbiologically to mitigate such abiotic stress. In this background, trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] seedlings were inoculated with Diversispora ...

Duckweeds under salt stress: a meta‐analysis of growth inhibition in relation to morphological and physiological traits and a systematic review of molecular responses

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Salinity reduces duckweed growth responses. Summary Salinity is one of the main environmental factors limiting the performance of duckweeds and despite growing ecological and biotechnological interest in these macrophytes, there is a lack of quantitative analyses of their responses to sodium chloride.

Scheme of the arginase pathway and the arginine decarboxylase pathway.

, 2015
In Bacillus subtilis, the first reaction of the arginase pathway, the formation of ornithine (Orn), is catalyzed by arginase (rocF). RocD, an ornithine aminotransferase, utilizes ornithine to form glutamate semialdehyde (GSA) or pyrroline-5-carboxylate ...

Transfection of arginine decarboxylase gene increases the neuronal differentiation of neural progenitor cells

Stem Cell Research, 2016
Growing evidence suggests that the clinical use of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is hampered by heterogeneity, poor neuronal yield and low survival rate.

Mitochondrial Respiratory Metabolism in Salt‐Stressed Barley (Hordeum vulgare): TCA Cycle Activation With Limited GABA Shunt Engagement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants maintain energy balance under salinity stress through increased respiration and energy use, processes also associated with reactive oxygen species generation. Although respiration imposes a high energy cost, mitochondrial respiration and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity are vital for ATP production and for providing electron ...

Beyond protein synthesis: the emerging role of arginine in poultry nutrition and host-microbe interactions

Frontiers in Physiology
Arginine is a functional amino acid essential for various physiological processes in poultry. The dietary essentiality of arginine in poultry stems from the absence of the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthase-I.

Plant NAOGAT (ArgJ) Structure Reveals Mechanism of Ornithine Biosynthesis, Preference for Acetylornithine and Susceptibility to Mangotoxin

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arginine metabolism in plants is targeted by phytopathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae strains, which produce toxins that affect enzymes of plant arginine metabolism, causing devastating infections in crops. In this work, the structural and functional properties of plant N‐acetylornithine glutamate acetyltransferase (NAOGAT), the key ...
