Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

Peptidoglycan reshaping by a noncanonical peptidase for helical cell shape in Campylobacter jejuni

Nature Communications, 2020
Peptidoglycans (PG) define bacterial cell shapes. Here, the authors provide mechanistic insights into the peptidoglycan peptidase 3 (Pgp3) from the spiral shaped human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni by determining its crystal structure alone and in ...

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Advances in Wine Yeast Autolysis: Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms, and the Release of Organic Compounds in White and Sparkling Wines—An Updated Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.

Oxidation of Native and Modified Hemoglobin and Myoglobin by Sodium Nitrate. Effect of Inositol Hexaphosphate [PDF]

, 1981
Native and modified hemoglobin, myoglobin and a and phemoglobin subunits were oxidized by sodium nitrite at pH 6. The experiments were carried out under oxy and deoxy conditions with and without inositol hexaphosphate (IHP).

Contribution of exopeptidases to formation of nonprotein nitrogen during ensiling of alfalfa [PDF]

, 2011
The experiment was conducted to investigate the exopeptidase classes in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) leaves, and to determine their contribution to the formation of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) components during ensiling.

Signal Amplification in the HPT Axis—Evidence for Its Existence, Location, Significance, and Molecular Mechanisms

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Thyroid hormones (THs) are under negative feedback regulation via the hypothalamic–pituitary‐thyroid (HPT) axis. How this axis operates to keep the circulating THs within a narrow physiological range is not well understood quantitatively. Led by the design principle of robust homeostatic feedback control, here we review and synthesize the ...

The Bacterial Photosynthetic Reaction Center as a Model for Membrane Proteins [PDF]

, 1989
Membrane proteins participate in many fundamental cellular processes. Until recently, an understanding of the function and properties of membrane proteins was hampered by an absence of structural information at the atomic level.

Subclass III SnRK2 Kinases Coordinate Starch and Storage Protein Synthesis During Maize Kernel Development

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2279-2299, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Enhancing both starch and protein accumulation is a key strategy for improving maize yield and quality. Achieving this goal requires an in‐depth understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that integrate these pathways. Here, we demonstrate that functionally redundant subclass III SNF1‐related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) act as central ...
