To what extent is blood a reasonable surrogate for brain in gene expression studies: estimation from mouse hippocampus and spleen

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2009
Microarrays are designed to measure genome-wide differences in gene expression. In cases where a tissue is not accessible for analysis (e.g. human brain), it is of interest to determine whether a second, accessible tissue could be used as a surrogate for

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

Variation in Social Feeding Behaviors and Interactions Among <i>Caenorhabditis Nematodes</i>. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Different species of roundworms (nematodes) are frequently found together in the wild and can aggregate in groups while feeding. We find that different species of worms display a range of feeding behaviors, from social to solitary, unrelated to evolutionary relatedness. Population context can change social feeding behaviors within species, where mixing

ClAPRT3‐Mediated Adenine Salvage Pathway Enhances Purine Metabolites to Sustain Seed Vigour During Selfing in Cunninghamia lanceolata

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selfing often causes inbreeding depression, especially during seed and seedling stages. However, some selfed progeny show low inbreeding depression with enhanced vigour, differing from inbred counterparts. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms maintaining seed vigour during selfing in Cunninghamia lanceolata.

Trans‐QTL Alliance of HKT1 and PHL7 Modulate Salinity Stress Tolerance and Enhance Crop Yield Endurance

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress can cause significant yield losses in crops because of its major impact on reproductive success. The complexity of salinity stress responses, particularly their tissue‐ and cell‐specific regulation, continues to challenge the translation of molecular insights into tangible crop yield improvements.

The Diversity of the DNA‐Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA‐binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic ...

ZmMYB127 Modulates Maize Kernel Texture and Size by Integrating the Synthesis of Starch, Zein Proteins and Auxin

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kernel texture is an important agronomic trait that determines the end‐uses of maize kernels and affects their integrity at harvest and susceptibility to pests and diseases. The ratio of the vitreous endosperm (RVE) is the key index for assessing kernel texture, and identifying key genes involved in its formation is crucial for maize breeding.

ZmmiR1432‐ZmCML21‐ZmPMA2 Module Affects Maize Low Phosphate Tolerance via Regulating Organic Acid Secretion

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus is indispensable in agricultural production. The growing global demand for food necessitates the development of crops with enhanced phosphorus utilisation efficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinating phosphorus utilisation efficiency in plants remain incompletely characterised.
