Historical trends demonstrate a pattern of increasingly frequent and severe spillover events of high-consequence zoonotic viruses

BMJ Global Health, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on patterns of infectious disease spillover. Climate and land-use changes are predicted to increase the frequency of zoonotic spillover events, which have been the cause of most modern epidemics. Characterising

Transgenic tobacco plant overexpressing ginkgo dihydroflavonol 4-reductase gene GbDFR6 exhibits multiple developmental defects

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dihydroflavonol Q 4-reductase (DFR), a key enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in plants, significantly influences plant survival. However, the roles of DFR in the regulation of plant development are largely unknown.

Development of a workflow for the selection, identification and optimization of lactic acid bacteria with high γ-aminobutyric acid production

Scientific Reports, 2023
Lactic acid bacteria produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as an acid stress response. GABA is a neurotransmitter that may improve sleep and resilience to mental stress.
