Genetic Improvement of Local Goats

, 2017
Genetic improvement of domestic animals through selection of the breeding stock, including small ruminants like goats, has been acknowledged as a powerful tool. It has been used by mankind for the supply of the most varied products, and for increasing productivity and global yields.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Tomato: a crop species amenable to improvement by cellular and molecular methods [PDF]

, 1989
Tomato is a crop plant with a relatively small DNA content per haploid genome and a well developed genetics. Plant regeneration from explants and protoplasts is feasable which led to the development of efficient transformation procedures.

The roles of cell wall polysaccharides in response to waterlogging stress in Brassica napus L. root

BMC Biology
Background Brassica napus L. (B. napus) is susceptible to waterlogging stress during different cultivation periods. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the resistance to waterlogging stress to achieve a high and stable yield of B. napus.

Eriodictyol can modulate cellular auxin gradients to efficiently promote in vitro cotton fibre development

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Flavonoids have essential roles in flower pigmentation, fibre development and disease resistance in cotton. Previous studies show that accumulation of naringenin in developing cotton fibres significantly affects fibre growth.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Searching for invariants using genetic programming and mutation testing [PDF]

, 2011
Invariants are concise and useful descriptions of a program's behaviour. As most programs are not annotated with invariants, previous research has attempted to automatically generate them from source code.

Genetic dynamics drive maize growth and breeding

Genome Biology
Background Phenotypic diversity arises from the process of development and is shaped by genomic variation in plants. However, the genetic basis of growth dynamics remains poorly understood in maize. Results Here, we analyze 679 maize inbred lines derived

Dynamics and functional interplay of histone lysine butyrylation, crotonylation, and acetylation in rice under starvation and submergence

Genome Biology, 2018
Background Histone lysine acylations by short-chain fatty acids are distinct from the widely studied histone lysine acetylation in chromatin, although both modifications are regulated by primary metabolism in mammalian cells.
