A pleiotropic “stretch” phenotype is associated with metaxylem vessel element length, axial hydraulic conductance, root elongation, water utilization, and drought adaptation in maize

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract We tested the hypothesis that metaxylem phenotypes influence drought adaptation in maize (Zea mays L.) through in silico modeling and empirical studies under water deficit in controlled environments and in the field. Substantial genotypic variation for metaxylem vessel element length (MVEL) was observed. Longer MVEL was correlated with reduced

From Assessment to Optimization: A Comprehensive Review of the Mutton Quality Evaluation Index, Factors, and Improvement Strategies

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the comprehensive framework of mutton quality, including evaluation indices, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Meat quality is systematically assessed through multiple dimensions, including flavor, color, pH, tenderness, water‐holding capacity, intramuscular fat, and nutritional composition.

Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

Cryo‐EM reveals ArnA contamination during purification of a ciliary protein complex

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 404-410, May 2026.
ArnA contamination was independently observed during the purification of a soluble, low‐yield protein complex, leading to an unintended 3.23 Å resolution cryo‐EM structure. This work broadens recent findings and highlights ArnA as a recurrent His‐tag‐associated contaminant in Escherichia coli purification workflows.Endogenous Escherichia coli proteins ...

Two Tetrahymena kinesin-9 family members exhibit slow plus-end-directed motility in vitro

open access: yesScientific Reports
The kinesin-9 family comprises two subfamilies specific to ciliated eukaryotic cells, and has recently attracted considerable attention because of its importance in ciliary bending and formation.

A cryo‐EM processing pipeline for microtubules using CryoSPARC

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 411-420, May 2026.
Cryo‐EM reconstructions of microtubules are currently technically challenging and time‐consuming for average users. A cryo‐EM processing pipeline for microtubules using CryoSPARC has been developed that overcomes many of these current issues.Microtubules are cytoskeletal filaments that are typically characterized by a discontinuous helical lattice of α/
