Proteomic responses of fruits to environmental stresses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Fruits and vegetables are extremely susceptible to decay and easily lose commercial value after harvest. Different strategies have been developed to control postharvest decay and prevent quality deterioration during postharvest storage, including cold ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Mechanisms linking glucotoxicity to the development of insulin resistance: a role for the endoplasmic reticulum stress [PDF]

, 2010
Aims/hypothesis: Glucosamine, generated during hyperglycaemia, causes insulin resistance in different cells. Here we sought to evaluate the possible role of ER stress in the induction of insulin-resistance by glucosamine in skeletal muscle cells. Methods:

Sakuranetin, a Natural Flavonoid, Promising to Manage Grapevine Diseases

Molecules
Botrytis cinerea and Plasmopara viticola, the causal agents of grey mold and downy mildew, respectively, are two major grapevine pathogens whose control largely relies on synthetic fungicides, raising environmental and health concerns.

A complex protein derivative acts as biogenic elicitor of grapevine resistance against powdery mildew under field conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator is one of the most important grapevine diseases in several viticulture areas, and high fungicide input is required to control it. However, numerous synthetic chemical pesticides are under scrutiny due to concerns

Sodium Hydrosulfide Induces Resistance Against Penicillium expansum in Apples by Regulating Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide Activation of Phenylpropanoid Metabolism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
As a multifunctional signaling molecule, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been reported to induce plant responses to a variety of abiotic stresses. However, there are no reports on H2S treatment inducing resistance in apples against Penicillium expansum, a ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Interação silício-imidacloprid no comportamento biológico e alimentar de Schizaphis Graminum (Rond.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) em plantas de trigo Silicon-imidachloprid interaction on the biological and feed behavior of Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on wheat plants

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2009
O pulgão-verde Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) é um dos principais insetos-praga da cultura do trigo, sendo capaz de levar a planta à morte pela sucção de seiva e injeção de toxina, além de transmitir vírus. Uma tática recomendada para

Responsiveness of Elite Cultivars vs. Ancestral Genotypes of Barley to Beneficial Rhizosphere Microbiome, Supporting Plant Defense Against Root-Lesion Nematodes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Harnessing plant-microbe interactions to advance crop resistance to pathogens could be a keystone in sustainable agriculture. The breeding of crops to maximize yield in intensive agriculture might have led to the loss of traits that are necessary for ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.
