Performance assessment of three simplified Gielis equations in quantifying the geometries of lanceolate bamboo leaves

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Accurate quantification of bamboo leaf morphology is essential for understanding plant morphogenesis and development. However, most bamboo leaves exhibit long lanceolate shape characteristic, posing challenges in finding suitable mathematical models for ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Leaf Vocabulary: Fine-Grained Leaf Image Retrieval Using Bag-of-Visual-Words Representation

open access: yes, 2022
This paper addresses the issue of fine-grained leaf image retrieval (FGLIR) which focuses on differentiating between different leaf cultivars within the same species. We investigate a novel bag-of-visual-words approaches (BoVW) to FGLIR.

An outer membrane vesicle‐associated two‐track model for enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis oncogenesis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis is a gut bacterium linked to bowel cancer. We propose that its toxin acts along two routes: at the cell surface, cutting the adhesion protein E‐cadherin and triggering inflammation; and inside the cell, delivered by bacterial vesicles, switching on NOD1 and cancer stem cell programs.

Leaf morphological traits show greater responses to changes in climate than leaf physiological traits and gas exchange variables

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Adaptation to changing conditions is one of the strategies plants may use to survive in the face of climate change. We aimed to determine whether plants' leaf morphological and physiological traits/gas exchange variables have changed in response to ...

What determines a leaf's shape? [PDF]

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2014
The independent origin and evolution of leaves as small, simple microphylls or larger, more complex megaphylls in plants has shaped and influenced the natural composition of the environment. Significant contributions have come from megaphyllous leaves, characterized usually as flat, thin lamina entrenched with photosynthetic organelles and stomata ...

Guiding AlphaFold to predict how Munc13‐1 opens Syntaxin‐1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The syntaxin‐1 Habc‐domain (orange), linker (pink) and SNARE motif (yellow) form a closed conformation that binds to Munc18‐1 (violet) and is opened by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain (cyan) to form the SNARE complex that triggers neurotransmitter release.

Grapevine leaf size influences canopy temperature

open access: yesOENO One
Grapevine leaves have diverse shapes and sizes which are influenced by many factors including genetics, vine phytosanitary status, environment, leaf and vine age, and node position on the shoot.

Leaf area–length allometry and its implications in leaf shape evolution [PDF]

open access: yesTrees, 2019
According to Thompson’s principle of similarity, the area of an object should be proportional to its length squared. However, leaf area-length data of some plants have been demonstrated not to follow the principle of similarity. We explore the reasons why the leaf area-length allometry deviates from the principle of similarity and examine whether there

Delivery of DNA‐encoded vaccines and proteins in mice using cutaneous suction‐mediated transfection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cutaneous suction‐mediated transfection in mice for delivery of DNA‐encoded vaccines and proteins. A critical limitation of DNA vaccines and other therapeutics is transfection in vivo to produce the encoded antigens or therapeutic proteins. Cutaneous suction‐based methods have demonstrated effectiveness in many animal models and have been successfully ...
