Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

Cloning of the cryptochrome-encoding PeCRY1 gene from Populus euphratica and functional analysis in Arabidopsis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue/UV-A light receptors that evolved from photolyases. In plants, cryptochromes regulate various aspects of plant growth and development.

Photoreceptor cross-talk in UV-B photomorphogenesis in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) : screening through phytochrome and cryptochrome mutants : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Figures 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 removed due to copyright reasonsPlant photoreceptors detect changes in the light environment and induce differential gene expression, resulting in the appropriate physiological and morphological responses.

NAD+‒circadian rhythm coupling in dementia

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The circadian rhythm system and sleep coordinate whole‐body functions across the 24‐h cycle, yet these rhythms progressively deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Growing evidence indicates that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) interacts with the circadian system through multiple molecular pathways and that ...

Avian cryptochrome 4 binds superoxide

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Flavin-binding cryptochromes are blue-light sensitive photoreceptors that have been implicated with magnetoreception in some species. The photocycle involves an intra-protein photo-reduction of the flavin cofactor, generating a magnetosensitive radical pair, and its subsequent re-oxidation.

Clocks, cryptochromes and Monarch migrations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biology, 2009
The annual migration of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) from eastern North America to central Mexico is one of nature's most inspiring spectacles. Recent studies including one in BMC Biology, have begun to dissect the molecular and neurogenetic basis for this most complex behavior.

A photolyase-like protein from Agrobacterium tumefaciens with an iron-sulfur cluster.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Photolyases and cryptochromes are evolutionarily related flavoproteins with distinct functions. While photolyases can repair UV-induced DNA lesions in a light-dependent manner, cryptochromes regulate growth, development and the circadian clock in plants ...

Effects of dark or of red, blue or white light on germination of subterranean clover seeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Dry or imbibed seeds of the negatively photoblastic burr burying subterranean clover cv. ‘Seaton Park’ were treated with dark or with red, blue or white light to evaluate the effects of light on seed germination.

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Regulation and Identity of Florigen: Flowering Locus T Moves Center Stage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called florigen, that moves through the phloem to the shoot apex.
