Comparative study on growth traits and ions regulation of zoysiagrasses under varied salinity treatments

Open Life Sciences, 2021
Salt stress affects plant physiology, development, and growth. This research investigated varied salinity levels on growth traits and ions accumulation of four zoysiagrasses and aimed to identify phenotypic traits associated with variability in salinity ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Sodium exclusion as a key trait for maize adaptation to salinity: Relationship with photosynthetic efficiency and membrane integrity

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Maize is widely used for human consumption but its cultivation is hampered by salinity. Photosynthetic activity and hence, growth are adversely affected by salt stress due to salt accumulation in the plant tissues.

Using life-history traits to explain bird population responses to changing weather variability [PDF]

, 2011
Bird population dynamics are expected to change in response to increased weather variability, an expression of climate change. The extent to which species are sensitive to effects of weather on survival and reproduction depends on their life-history ...

Heterosis of growth and reproductive traits in fowl

Poultry Science, 2002
Long-term divergent selection for high (HH) and low (LL) BW at 56 d of age in White Plymouth Rock chickens resulted in deviations from a typical chronological timeline for reproductive development. Line HH chickens of the 42nd generation of selection (S(42)) were heavier at 28, 56, 168, and 266 d of age, as well as at sexual maturity than those from ...

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

A novel 22-bp InDel within FGF7 gene is significantly associated with growth traits in goat

Animal Biotechnology
Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) is involved in lipid metabolism, which is considered as a candidate gene with close relation with muscle development by eGWAs and RNA-Seq analyses. To date, limited research has been conducted on the relationship between

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep

Animal Research and One Health
Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep ...
