ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

ABSTRACT Equine melanocytic neoplasms (EMN) are aggressive tumours characterised by high metastatic potential and limited therapeutic options available. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their progression remain poorly understood. This study therefore presents the integrative phosphoproteomic analysis of EMN tissue, with the aim of ...

Autoinhibition of the formin Cappuccino in the absence of canonical autoinhibitory domains. [PDF]
Formins are a conserved family of proteins known to enhance actin polymerization. Most formins are regulated by an intramolecular interaction. The Drosophila formin, Cappuccino (Capu), was believed to be an exception.

Radial Spoke Proteins of \u3cem\u3eChlamydomonas\u3c/em\u3e Flagella [PDF]
The radial spoke is a ubiquitous component of `9+2\u27 cilia and flagella, and plays an essential role in the control of dynein arm activity by relaying signals from the central pair of microtubules to the arms. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii radial spoke

A Novel Light‐Induced Collective Circular Movement in Armadillo sordidus Isopods
We describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

A study of CIS-acting elements required for dosage compensation in Drosophila Melanogaster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Dosage compensation (the equalisation of X-linked gene products) occurs in Drosophila melanogaster by a two fold transcriptional up-regulation of X-linked gene expression in males. This involves the binding of five proteins, MSL-1, MSL-2, MSL-3, MLE, MOF,

A role for kinesin heavy chain in controlling vesicle transport into dendrites in Drosophila. [PDF]
The unique architecture of neurons requires the establishment and maintenance of polarity, which relies in part on microtubule-based transport to deliver essential cargo into dendrites.

Caenorhabditis elegans and probiotics interactions from a prolongevity perspective [PDF]
Probiotics exert beneficial effects on host health through different mechanisms of action, such as production of antimicrobial substances, competition with pathogens, enhancement of host mucosal barrier integrity and immunomodulation.

Unveiling nuclear localization signals in human arginine deiminase proteins
Abstract Arginine iminohydrolases are a family of enzymes involved in the conversion of arginine to citrulline. There are five isoforms in humans (PADI1, 2, 3, 4, and 6). Some of them are observed experimentally in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus of the cell; for moving to the latter location, they must pass through the cell nuclear membrane by using ...
