Exogenous Melatonin Attenuates Post-Harvest Decay by Increasing Antioxidant Activity in Wax Apple (Syzygium samarangense)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Wax apple is one of the most popular tropical fruit but undergoes serious post-harvest decay during storage, transportation and marketing. Melatonin (MT) plays important roles in plant growth, development and stress responses.

Plasmodium comparative genomics [PDF]

Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2019
Malaria is a serious infectious disease caused by unicellular eukaryotic parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Today more than 200 species exist [1], and whole-genome sequence data is available for around 22 species [2]. At least five different Plasmodium species can infect humans, of which Plasmodium falciparum is the major cause of morbidity and ...

Extreme mitochondrial reduction in a novel group of free-living metamonads

Nature Communications
Metamonads are a diverse group of heterotrophic microbial eukaryotes adapted to living in hypoxic environments. All metamonads but one harbour metabolically altered ‘mitochondrion-related organelles’ (MROs) with reduced functions, however the degree of ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Mahachai betta, Betta mahachaiensis (Teleostei: Osphronemidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Mahachai bettas (Betta mahachaiensis) are distributed in areas of brackish water with Nipa Palms in Samut Sakhon, Thailand but urbanization is restricting their biodiversity. A complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of B. mahachaiensis was determined

A multi-omics approach to evaluate the quality of milk whey used in Ricotta cheese production.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In the past, milk whey was only a by-product of cheese production, but currently, it has a high commercial value for use in the food industries. However, the regulation of whey management (i.e., storage and hygienic properties) has not been updated, and ...

Community Interaction Co-limitation: Nutrient Limitation in a Marine Microbial Community Context

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The simultaneous limitation of productivity by two or more nutrients, commonly referred to as nutrient co-limitation, affects microbial communities throughout the marine environment and is of profound importance because of its impacts on various ...

Confidence in comparative genomics [PDF]

Genome Research, 2008
Comparative sequence analysis has become a widespread approach for identifying and characterizing functional elements encoded within genomic sequences. Marked by early successes (for review, see Hardison 2000), a tremendous amount of sequencing capacity has been, and continues to be, utilized for sequencing genomes of related species.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Plant MiRNA Under Salt Stress Shed Light on Salinity Resistance Improvement Through MiRNA Manipulation in Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Salinity, as a major environmental stressor, limits plant growth, development, and crop yield remarkably. However, plants evolve their own defense systems in response to salt stress.
