Copper stress induces the differential expression of microRNAs in non-heading Chinese cabbage

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
To gain a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanism of Cu-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino), the transcription of 10 annotated stress-inducible miRNAs and their target genes were

Identification of Candidate Genes for Green Rind Color in Watermelon

Plants
The color of the rind is one of the most crucial agronomic characteristics of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.). Its genetic analysis was conducted to provide the identification of genes regulating rind color and improving the quality of watermelon ...

Genome-wide characterization and evolutionary analysis of heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) to reveal their potential role under abiotic stresses in radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Abiotic stresses due to climate change pose a great threat to crop production. Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) are vital regulators that play key roles in protecting plants against various abiotic stresses.

Enhanced entrainability of genetic oscillators by period mismatch

, 2013
Biological oscillators coordinate individual cellular components so that they function coherently and collectively. They are typically composed of multiple feedback loops, and period mismatch is unavoidable in biological implementations.

A genetic approach to Markovian characterisation of H.264 scalable video [PDF]

, 2011
We propose an algorithm for multivariate Markovian characterisation of H.264/SVC scalable video traces at the sub-GoP (Group of Pictures) level. A genetic algorithm yields Markov models with limited state space that accurately capture temporal and inter ...

Genetic enhancements and expectations

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2009
Some argue that genetic enhancements and environmental enhancements are not importantly different: environmental enhancements such as private schools and chess lessons are simply the old-school way to have a designer baby. I argue that there is an important distinction between the two practices—a distinction that makes state restrictions on genetic ...

Unraveling the Root Proteome Changes and Its Relationship to Molecular Mechanism Underlying Salt Stress Response in Radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
To understand the molecular mechanism underlying salt stress response in radish, iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis was conducted to investigate the differences in protein species abundance under different salt treatments.

Should Parents Genetically Engineer their Children? [PDF]

, 2019
Imagine a world where everyone is healthy, intelligent, long living and happy. Intuitively this seems wonderful, albeit unrealistic. However, recent scientific developments in genetic engineering, namely CRISPR/Cas bring the question into public ...

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.
