Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Molecular mechanisms of the non-coenzyme action of thiamin in brain. Biochemical, structural and pathway analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a pharmacological agent boosting central metabolism through the action of the coenzyme thiamin diphosphate (ThDP). However, positive effects, including improved cognition, of high thiamin doses in neurodegeneration may be ...

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Overexpression of a Tonoplast Malate Transporter Gene Leads to Enhanced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, a group of secondary metabolites synthesised in the phenylpropanoid pathway, largely determine the peel colour of fleshy fruits, but it is not known if their synthesis is linked to vacuolar malate accumulation that underlies fruit acidity.

Mutations in valosin-containing protein (VCP) decrease ADP/ATP translocation across the mitochondrial membrane and impair energy metabolism in human neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP) lead to multisystem proteinopathies including frontotemporal dementia. We have previously shown that patient-derived VCP mutant fibroblasts exhibit lower mitochondrial membrane potential ...

Calmodulin‐Like Protein MfCML50 Interacts With Carveol Dehydrogenase in Medicago falcata to Regulate Cold Tolerance Through Mediating ROS Homeostasis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low temperature triggers Ca2+ signalling and reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism in plants. However, how the Ca2+ signal is transduced to the downstream metabolic pathways remains unknown. The involvement of a cold‐induced calmodulin‐like protein, MfCML50, from Medicago falcata in regulation of cold tolerance was examined in the ...

Comparative analysis of two genomic regions among four strains of Buchnera aphidicola, primary endosymbiont of aphids.

open access: yes, 2004
Preliminary analysis of two selected genomic regions of Buchnera aphidicola BCc, the primary endosymbiont of the cedar aphid Cinara cedri, has revealed a number of interesting features when compared with the corresponding homologous regions of the three ...
