Transglutaminase‐mediated cytokeratin modifications implicated in bile‐acid‐induced hepatocyte death
Cholestasis and bile‐acid exposure enhance expression and activity of protein crosslinking enzymes TG1 and TG2 in hepatocytes. Substrate proteins were identified by mass spectrometry using biotin‐labeled peptides (pepK5/pepT26) or amine donor (biotinylated pentylamine; BPA). Crosslinking‐induced aggregation and fragmentation of keratin 18 and 8 (K18/K8)

Banana breeding by genome design
ABSTRACT Bananas and plantains of the genus Musa constitute the most vital fruits and staple foods. Cultivated bananas may have originated from intraspecific and interspecific hybridizations of four wild species, namely Musa acuminata (A), M. balbisiana (B), M. schizocarpa (S), and the Australimusa species (T).

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Comparison of isozyme and RAPD patterns for analysis of the genetic relationship in Dendrobium crystallinum and D. sp. [PDF]
The genetic relationship in two Dendrobium species which had similar morphology was analyzed using cluster analysis by UPGMA from their isozyme and RAPD data. It was found that dendrogram of eight isozyme systems could distinguish D. crystallinum from D.

Unravelling the Significance of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase in Phosphate Starvation Responses
ABSTRACT Low phosphate availability is a major concern for agriculture. Plants develop a plethora of responses to improve phosphate acquisition, known as phosphate starvation responses (PSR). Among them, the induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) has been described in many plants. However, most studies have been conducted in the absence of
