Generation mean analysis for quantitative traits in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2015
To study the nature and magnitude of gene effects for yield and its components in basil (Ocimumbasilicum L.), generation mean analysis with following seven crosses of different accession was carried out: EC-388788/IC-333322, EC-387893/IC-326711, EC ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Portfolio selection models: A review and new directions

, 2009
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is based upon the classical Markowitz model which uses variance as a risk measure. A generalization of this approach leads to mean-risk models, in which a return distribution is characterized by the expected value of return (

Determination of breeding approaches for improvement of economic traits in Indian muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) through assessment of gene action

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding
Muskmelon is an important cucurbitaceous vegetable due to its excellent taste, flavour, aroma and other quality traits present in its fruit. Architectural phenotypes of this crop have great potential to increase its fruit yield at the commercial level ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Network Reliability Analysis by means of Generalized Matrix Learning Vector Quantization

Applied Network Science
Abstract We present a new approach for assessing the reliability of an error-prone system or network by using a prototype-based classification method. More specifically, reliability levels for consecutive \(k\)-out-of-\(n\) success systems and failure networks are classified using Generalized Matrix Learning Vector Quantization (GMLVQ),

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
