Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

Replacement of the essential Dictyostelium Arp2 gene by its Entamoeba homologue using parasexual genetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: Cell motility is an essential feature of the pathogenesis and morbidity of amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. As motility depends on cytoskeletal organisation and regulation, a study of the molecular components involved is key to a ...

Haploids and Doubled Haploids in Plant Breeding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Haploids are plants (sporophytes) that contain a gametic chromosome number (n). They can originate spontaneously in nature or as a result of various induction techniques. Spontaneous development of haploid plants has been known since 1922, when Blakeslee first described this phenomenon in Datura stramonium (Blakeslee et al., 1922); this was ...

Evolutionary patterns and structural divergence of CENH3 in legumes: Implications for haploid induction breeding

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

In vivo HAPLOID INDUCTION AND EFFICIENCY OF TWO CHROMOSOME DUPLICATION PROTOCOLS IN TROPICAL MAIZE

open access: yesCiência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
Artificial chromosome duplication is one of the most important process in the attainment of doubled haploids in maize. This study aimed to evaluate the induction ability of the inducer line KEMS in a tropical climate and test the efficiency of the R1 ...

Effect of Salt Stress on Mutation and Genetic Architecture for Fitness Components in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Mutations shape genetic architecture and thus influence the evolvability, adaptation and diversification of populations. Mutations may have different and even opposite effects on separate fitness components, and their rate of origin, distribution of ...

Strategies for implementing genomic selection in family-based aquaculture breeding schemes: double haploid sib test populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Simulation studies have shown that accuracy and genetic gain are increased in genomic selection schemes compared to traditional aquaculture sib-based schemes.

The mitochondrial DNA copy number and ovary‐related reproductive disorders: A bidirectional two‐sample Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 112-120, April 2025.
Abstract Objective In the present study, a bidirectional two‐sample Mendelian randomization approach was utilized to explore potential causal relationships between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA‐CN) and ovary‐related reproductive disorders (ORRDs), including ovarian dysfunction, ovarian cyst, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian ...

Intracallus cytotypic variation of regenerated Oryza sativa L. plants in the in vitro androgenesis

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции
Background. The in vitro androgenesis has proven to be a reliable method for obtaining doubled haploids for many plant species. In the breeding of Oryza sativa L., in vitro culture of anthers is used, which go through the stage of callus formation ...
