Enabling genome editing in tropical maize lines through an improved, morphogenic regulator-assisted transformation protocol [PDF]

Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2023
The recalcitrance exhibited by many maize (Zea mays) genotypes to traditional genetic transformation protocols poses a significant challenge to the large-scale application of genome editing (GE) in this major crop species.

Lysine α-ketoglutarate reductase as a therapeutic target for saccharopine pathway related diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
The saccharopine pathway (SacPath) and the pipecolate pathway (PipPath) catabolize lysine to α-aminoadipate. Although the PipPath has been highlighted as the prominent route operating in the brain, recent work has demonstrated that the SacPath plays a ...

Identification of electron transfer enzymes in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum is a promising candidate for the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic sugars; however, the genes associated with electron transfer from ferredoxin are poorly characterized. In this work, we deleted several key

Can a Top Predator Persist After One of the World's Largest Mining Dam Failures? Occupancy Dynamics of the Neotropical Otter in Brazil's Paraopeba River. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We evaluated the effects of the 2019 Brumadinho tailings‐dam collapse on neotropical otters (Lontra longicaudis) in Brazil's Paraopeba river using multi‐season occupancy models. Six years post‐collapse, otters showed high occupancy across impacted reaches.

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Soil Microbiome of Tropical Seasonal and Permanent Small Wetlands. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Distinct hydrological regimes shape microbial communities and metabolic pathways in tropical wetlands. Redox‐driven shifts highlight enhanced methanogenesis under anoxia, and dominant archaeal and bacterial groups reflect specific redox conditions and adaptations, with important implications for biogeochemical cycling and climate‐relevant processes ...

Bioética e eugenia: pressupostos biopolíticos da manipulação genética

Griot, 2022
A partir da hipótese de que seres humanos modificados terão projetos de vida bem sucedidos, reflete-se quais seriam os pressupostos biopolíticos da manipulação genética na sociedade moderna. Considerando as teorias apresentadas por Michel Foucault (2005)
