Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

DOM: Dual Optical Mapping Integrating Sequence‐Specific Barcodes and A/T Density Profiles

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Dual Optical Mapping (DOM) combines sequence‐specific barcodes and an A/T profile to generate complementary genomic signatures along single DNA molecules. The integration of sparse and dense mapping information enables accurate and confident genome mapping, facilitating reliable localization of long DNA molecules in complex genomes, including the ...

The haploid induction ability analysis of various mutation of OsMATL and OsDMPs in rice

BMC Biology
Background The high-frequency induction rate of haploid is crucial for double haploid (DH) breeding. The combination of multiple haploid-induced genes, such as ZmPLA1/MATL/NLD and ZmDMP, can synergistically enhance the haploid induction rate (HIR) in ...

Effect of Propylparaben on In Vitro Maturation of Porcine Oocytes and Embryo Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parabens are synthetic chemicals that, due to their antibacterial and fungicidal effects, are widely used as preservatives in food, cosmetics, and personal care products, such as shampoos, hair conditioners, body creams, soaps, deodorants, makeup, wet wipes, lotions, female hygiene products, and vaginal lubricants. Several years ago, they were

Development of doubled haploid inducer lines facilitates selection of superior haploid inducers in maize

Frontiers in Plant Science
Haploid inducers are key components of doubled haploid (DH) technology in maize. Robust agronomic performance and better haploid induction ability of inducers are persistently sought through genetic improvement. We herein developed C1-I inducers enabling

Genetic Tools in the Nakaseomyces clade for Evolutionary Comparisons of Signal Transduction Pathways

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The genus Nakaseomyces provides four species that are closely related but have different characteristics. For example, N. glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabrata) is a common human pathogen, whereas N. bracarensis and N. nivariensis have been isolated in clinical settings but are not common human pathogens. N.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Haploid Male Fertility in Maize (Zea Mays L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Large-scale application of the doubled haploid (DH) technology by in vivo haploid induction has greatly improved the efficiency of maize breeding. While the haploid induction rate and the efficiency of identifying haploid plants have greatly improved in ...
