Floral Bud Chill Requirement of Low-Chill Southern Highbush Blueberry Germplasm
Journal of the American Pomological Society, 2015 The University of Florida southern highbush blueberry (SHB) ( Vaccinium corymbosumL. hybrids) breeding program has traditionally focused selection efforts in an area that annually receives ≥ 300 h of winter chilling at 0 to 7°C. Thus, many of the cultivars released from the breeding program are not adapted to regions in central and south Florida that ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Peculiarity of transcriptional and H3K27me3 dynamics during peach bud dormancy
Horticultural Plant JournalBud dormancy facilitates the survival of meristems under harsh environmental conditions. To elucidate how molecular responses to chilling accumulation controlling dormancy in peach buds, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing to identify the H3K27me3 ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Effects of temperature on dormancy release in Norway spruce and Scots pine seedlings.
Silva Fennica, 1988 Models concerning the effects of temperature on dormancy release in woody plants were tested using two-year old seedlings of Scots pine ( L.) and Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.). Chilling experiments suggest that the rest period has a distinct end point.
