New components in genetic regulation of age‐dependent compound leaf architecture in pea

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Compound leaf development in pea (Pisum sativum). Summary Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a classic model for compound leaf development. Pea leaves typically consist of a proximal series of paired lateral leaflets substituted distally by filiform tendrils, and the number of lateral organ pairs increases with ontogeny.

Progression free survival of myeloma patients who become IFE-negative correlates with the detection of residual monoclonal free light chain (FLC) by mass spectrometry

Blood Cancer Journal
Deeper responses are associated with improved survival in patients being treated for myeloma. However, the sensitivity of the current blood-based assays is limited. Historical studies suggested that normalisation of the serum free light chain (FLC) ratio

Free light chains of immunoglobulins in the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple myeloma

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2017
Background: Analysis of free light chains of immunoglobulins (FLC) in the serum is an effective method in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Plasma cells produce two types of FLC: κand λ-FLC.

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

A TAF10‐ERF109 Transcriptional Module Directs Flavonoid‐Based Stress Resilience and Yield Enhancement in Foxtail Millet and Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...

Haplotypes and Machine Learning Improve Genomic Prediction in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is a crop and livestock improvement method suited for predicting complex agronomical traits, while genomic prediction (GP) is the development of GS models prior to their practical use in breeding programs. One of the challenges in GP is accounting for how complex genomic interactions, such as epistasis, affect the ...

Volatile Components of Two Endemic Species from the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy), and (Asteraceae)

Natural Product Communications, 2010
The volatile fractions of Centaurea arachnoidea and C. montis-borlae , two endemic species growing wild in the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy), were isolated by steam distillation from fresh leaves and flowerheads, and analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. The yield

Chromatin Remodelling Complexes in Plant Adaptation to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Perspectives

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate epigenetic regulatory networks to adapt to a wide range of abiotic stress. Chromatin remodelling is a core epigenetic regulatory mechanism that refers to the process by which chromatin remodelling complexes mediate dynamic changes in chromatin spatial conformation and DNA accessibility ...

A mechanism study on the synergistic effects of rifapentine and fluconazole against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans in vitro

Heliyon
Candida albicans (C. albicans) is one of the most common clinical isolates of systemic fungal infection. Long-term and inappropriate use of antifungal drugs can cause fungal resistance, which poses a great challenge to the clinical treatment of fungal ...

Circular inference in visual cortical hierarchies in schizophrenia

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Aim In schizophrenia, disrupted perceptual processes contribute to positive symptoms. However, it remains unclear how top‐down priors and bottom‐up likelihoods are represented across the hierarchy of visual cortices. To identify these processes within cortical hierarchies, the circular inference model offers a framework to account for the biased ...
