Function and Diversification of MADS-Box Genes in Rice

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
MADS-box genes play critical roles in a number of developmental processes in flowering plants, such as specification of floral organ identity, control of flowering time, and regulation of fruit development.

Genetic Indicators of Performance Resilience in Barrel Racing Quarter Horses

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Resilience, defined as the capacity to maintain consistent performance under variable conditions, has emerged as a relevant breeding objective in livestock systems, yet remains largely unexplored in equine populations. The objectives of this study were to (1) derive indicators of resilience from longitudinal barrel racing time (BRT) records in

Identification and Validation of Metabolic Hub Genes Using WGCNA and Prognostic Risk Modeling in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive and molecularly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy associated with poor clinical outcomes, particularly in elderly and high‐risk patients. Increasing evidence suggests that metabolic reprogramming plays a critical role in leukemia progression, immune dysregulation, and therapeutic ...

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Capsanthin Biosynthesis and Sequestration in Processing Type Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

A Lightweight and Erudite Automated BiLSTM‐Based Multi‐Cycle GAN for Retinal Blood Vessel and Optic Disc Segmentation in Fundus Images

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
This graphical abstract presents a lightweight and automated BiLSTM‐based Multi‐Cycle GAN framework for retinal blood vessel and optic disc segmentation in fundus images. Initially, fundus images undergo preprocessing, including green channel extraction, denoising, resizing, and dataset splitting.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2379-2391, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Assessing Evolutionary Divergence in Genome‐Wide MADS‐Box Genes and Expression Profiles Between Toona ciliata and Toona sinensis

Ecology and Evolution
Toona ciliata and Toona sinensis, two economically important timber species in China, exhibit interspecific variation in floral traits that are related to mating systems. The MADS‐box genes play a crucial role in floral patterning of angiosperms. Here we
