Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Mining Candidate Genes and Favorable Haplotypes for Flag Leaf Shape in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Based on a Genome-Wide Association Study

Agronomy, 2022
The shape of the rice flag leaf affects rice yield. Therefore, the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and alleles related to rice flag leaf shape is of great significance for rice yield improvement.

Leaf shape and its evolution

iScience Notes, 2023
Early plants are thought to have grown by equal dichotomous branching of the stem, forming iterative self-similar structures that filled the three-dimensional space. Lack of equality between the two branches resulted in one dominating main growth axis with indeterminate growth and another subsidiary axillary growth axis that displayed limited branching

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Understanding of Leaf Development—the Science of Complexity

Plants, 2013
The leaf is the major organ involved in light perception and conversion of solar energy into organic carbon. In order to adapt to different natural habitats, plants have developed a variety of leaf forms, ranging from simple to compound, with various ...

Transcriptome Analyses Reveal the Key Regulators of Tomato Compound Leaf Development

Horticulturae, 2023
Leaves are one of the organs involved in plant assimilation and transpiration. Different leaf development processes can result in different leaf shapes. Tomato plants have typical compound leaves. It is helpful to explore the regulatory factors affecting

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
