Chitinase genes in olive tree (Olea europaea L.): evolutionary dynamics and stress–responsive regulation

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundChitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) are glycosyl hydrolases (GH) that break down glycosidic bonds in chitin. Plant chitinases are known to be implicated in responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and particularly to defense against fungal pathogens by ...

Evolutionary, Functional and Mechanistic Characterisation of Microbial Terpene Synthase‐Like Genes From Springtails

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Identification and Classification of Fungal GPCR Gene Families

Journal of Fungi
Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are transmembrane proteins crucial for signal transduction in eu-karyotes, responding to diverse extracellular signals. Researchers have found 14 distinct types of GPCRs in fungi but their distribution among numerous fungal species remained largely unexamined.

Discovery of an Antiviral Electron Transfer Process to Create Catalytically Self‐Sufficient Viral Restriction Factors

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
CYB5R3 is identified as a putative electron‐transfer partner of viperin (RSAD2), explaining why ER localisation is required for antiviral activity. Its utilisation enabled the engineering of immune‐silent, catalytically self‐sufficient antiviral restriction factor enzymes (iCAREs) that produce an antiviral nucleoside triphosphate analogue (ANTA ...

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and
