Lessons From Astaxanthin Therapy to Combat Oral Premalignant and Malignant Lesions: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Oral cancer is one of the most common head and neck malignancies and remains associated with high morbidity, mortality, and treatment‐related toxicity. Despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, there is still a need for safer adjunctive therapies with better therapeutic potential.

Identification and expression analysis of strigolactone biosynthetic and signaling genes reveal strigolactones are involved in fruit development of the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The development and ripening of fresh fruits is an important trait for agricultural production and fundamental research. Almost all plant hormones participate in this process.

WUSCHEL Transcription Factor Regulates Floral Development in ‘Jizaomi’ Grapevine

Horticulturae
Carpel number has been recognized as a critical factor influencing fruit size, ultimately determining yield and economic efficiency. The WUSCHEL (WUS) protein is essential for maintaining stem cell homeostasis in the floral meristem. Its expression level

Variação da estrutura carpelar em seis espécies de Cassiinae (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae) Structural variation of the carpel in six Cassiinae species (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae)

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2007
Estudos estruturais sobre carpelos são raros, embora de grande importância como subsídios para análises taxonômicas e filogenéticas. Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de analisar morfoanatomicamente os carpelos de seis espécies da subtribo ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 337-353, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana , many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Carpel-Specific Suppression of GhCKX3b Enhances Cotton Yield Without Compromising Fiber Quality in the Elite Cultivar ‘Yuanmian 8’

Agriculture
Improving cotton yield without sacrificing fiber quality remains a major breeding challenge. In this study, a carpel-specific RNA interference construct targeting GhCKX3b was introduced into the elite upland cotton cultivar ‘Yuanmian 8’, which has high ...

Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae)

EvoDevo, 2017
Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong to the large bHLH transcription factor family. Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have ...
