Multifaceted plant diversity patterns across the Himalaya: Status and outlook

Plant Diversity
Mountains serve as exceptional natural laboratories for studying biodiversity due to their heterogeneous landforms and climatic zones. The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, hosts rich endemic flora, supports vital ecosystem functions, and offers a

CWRML: representing crop wild relative conservation and use data in XML

BMC Bioinformatics, 2008
Background Crop wild relatives are wild species that are closely related to crops. They are valuable as potential gene donors for crop improvement and may help to ensure food security for the future.

Core descriptors for in situ conservation of crop wild relatives v.1. [PDF]

, 2016
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild plant species that are more or less closely related to domesticated species, include crop progenitors and are a potential source of traits beneficial to our crops.

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Climate change impacts on Rhododendron diversity: Regional responses and conservation strategies in China

Plant Diversity
Over the past century, anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have continuously increased global temperature and triggered climate change, significantly impacting species distributions and biodiversity patterns. Understanding how climate-driven shifts in

Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid‐derived suppressor cell generation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Identification and characterization of nine PAT1 genes subfamily in Medicago edgeworthii

Plant Signaling & Behavior
GRAS proteins represent a unique class of transcription factors that are exclusive to plants. Among the various subfamilies within the GRAS family, the phytochrome A signal transduction 1 (PAT1) subfamily is particularly prominent, given its multifaceted

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Evaluating the utility of deep genome skimming for phylogenomic analyses: A case study in the species-rich genus Rhododendron

Plant Diversity
Deep genome skimming (DGS) has emerged as a promising approach to recover orthologous nuclear genes for large-scale phylogenomic analyses. However, its reliability with low DNA quality and quantity typical of archival specimens, such as herbarium ...
