Effects of mass flowering crops on wild pollinator abundance and species richness [PDF]

, 2020
Agricultural intensification has led to the loss of flowering resources and natural habitats in agricultural landscapes and has been identified as one of the major drivers for the observed decline in wild pollinators in these habitats.

Functional biodiversity to improve pest control in organic cropping systems [PDF]

, 2013
A sustainable use of functional agrobiodiversity (FAB) providing habitats with suitable floral resources is needed to conserve and improve pest control by natural enemies in organic cropping and other low-input systems.

Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance and Molecular Breeding of Salt-Tolerant Ornamental Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
As the area of salinized soils increases, and freshwater becomes more scarcer worldwide, an urgent measure for agricultural production is to use salinized land and conserve freshwater resources.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Biofortification of UK food crops with selenium [PDF]

, 2006
Se is an essential element for animals. In man low dietary Se intakes are associated with health disorders including oxidative stress-related conditions, reduced fertility and immune functions and an increased risk of cancers.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Molecular mechanism of flowering time regulation in Brassica rapa: similarities and differences with Arabidopsis

Horticultural Plant Journal
Properly regulated flowering time is pivotal for successful plant reproduction. The floral transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth is regulated by a complex gene regulatory network that integrates environmental signals and internal ...

Pharmacological chromatin remodeling enhances response to estrogen therapy in ER+ breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Estrogen therapy elicits clinical benefit in ~ 30% of patients with endocrine‐resistant estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer. Based on findings that ER transcriptional activation underlies response to estrogen therapy, we tested the effects of epigenetic dysregulation via pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACi).

Natural variation of ClCCT promoter promotes flowering and dwarfing in adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi L.)

Crop Journal
The flowering time is a key trait that determines adaptation, yield and quality of crops. Adlay, a traditional cereal crop, has developed a distinctive agricultural industry in Southwest China and Southeast Asian countries. However, the currently planted

Earlier crop flowering caused by global warming alleviated by irrigation

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Enabling crop flowering within an optimal calendar window minimises long-term risk of abiotic stress exposure, improving prospects for attaining potential yield.
