Highly sex specific gene expression in Jojoba

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Dioecious plants have male and female flowers on separate plants. Jojoba is a dioecious plant that is drought-tolerant and native to arid areas.

Genome-Wide Characterization and Expression Profiling of ABA Biosynthesis Genes in a Desert Moss Syntrichia caninervis

Plants, 2023
Syntrichia caninervis can survive under 80–90% protoplasmic water losses, and it is a model plant in desiccation tolerance research. A previous study has revealed that S.

Isolation and characterization of three members of the multigenic family encoding ACC oxidase from H. brasiliensis during plant development : [Draft] [PDF]

, 2005
Applying Ethephon, an ethylene releaser, to increase rubber production in H. brasiliensis has been practised for a long time. The effect of ethylene on latex production has been amply described, notably for lengthening latex flow and its regeneration ...

The pgip family in soybean and three other legume species: evidence for a birth-and-death model of evolution [PDF]

, 2014
Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are leucine-rich repeat (LRR) plant cell wall glycoproteins involved in plant immunity. They are typically encoded by gene families with a small number of gene copies whose evolutionary origin has been poorly

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Transcriptomic Characterization of Candidate Genes for Fusarium Resistance in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Pathogens
Fusarium diseases are among the most dangerous fungal diseases of plants. To date, there are no plant protectants that completely prevent fusariosis. Current breeding trends are therefore focused on increasing genetic resistance.

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the ftsH protein family and its response to abiotic stress in Nicotiana tabacum L

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background The filamentous temperature-sensitive H protease (ftsH) gene family plays an important role in plant growth and development. FtsH proteins belong to the AAA protease family.
