Identification of new potential downstream transcriptional targets of the strigolactone pathway including glucosinolate biosynthesis [PDF]

Plant Direct, 2023
Strigolactones regulate shoot branching and many aspects of plant growth, development, and allelopathy. Strigolactones are often discussed alongside auxin because they work together to inhibit shoot branching.

Genome-wide identification of accessible chromatin regions by ATAC-seq upon induction of the transcription factor bZIP11 in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Scientific Data, 2023
Basic leucine zipper 11 (bZIP11) is a transcription factor that is activated under low energy conditions in plants and plays a crucial role in enabling plants to adapt to starvation situations.

Increased risk of preeclampsia after use of paracetamol during pregnancy – causal or coincidence? [PDF]

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background The maternal use of paracetamol during pregnancy has been associated with the development of preeclampsia. This study aims to clarify whether the connection is causal or whether it is due to reverse causation.

Discovery of a conserved translationally repressive upstream open reading frame within the iron-deficiency response regulator IDEF2 [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Iron (Fe) deficiency affects 30–50% of the world’s population. Genetic biofortification of staple crops is a promising strategy for improving human nutrition, but the number of effective precision breeding targets for Fe biofortification is ...

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Probiotics Mix Supplementation in a Broiler Leaky Gut Model [PDF]

Microorganisms
The supplementation of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) has been banned in many countries because of the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in poultry products and the environment. Probiotics have been broadly studied and demonstrated as

Effect of Rice GDP-L-Galactose Phosphorylase Constitutive Overexpression on Ascorbate Concentration, Stress Tolerance, and Iron Bioavailability in Rice [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Ascorbate (vitamin C) is an essential multifunctional molecule for both plants and mammals. In plants, ascorbate is the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant that supports stress tolerance.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase gene family in bread wheat [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Ascorbate is a powerful antioxidant in plants and an essential micronutrient for humans. The GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (GGP) gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the L-galactose pathway—the dominant ascorbate biosynthetic pathway in ...
