Factors affecting genetic transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens in Phaseolus vulgaris L.

open access: yesBiotecnología Vegetal, 2013
Phaseolus genus, as well as other legumes, has proved recalcitrant plant regeneration in vitro and mainly to genetic transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Spontaneously Occurring Bacterial Transformations in Mice [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1969
In 1963, it was reported that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-mediated transformations could take place spontaneously between genetically distinguishable pneumococci growing in a living host, the mouse. It was found in the present study that such transformations could be increased in frequency if infected animals were treated with a drug which kills only ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

A conceptual framework for revealing rare bacterial species in the gut microbiome through guided data transformation: Beyond enterotypes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as a rich source of biological data that offers critical information on host health, including information on pathological conditions such as cancer, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
