Studies on the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ common wild rice
Biological Research, 2020 Background Rice is the staple food of many people around the world. However, most rice varieties, especially widely grown indica varieties and hybrids, are sensitive to cold stress.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Among various environmental stresses, the depletion of inorganic phosphate, which is an important signaling molecule that modulates virulence production, is notable. In our previous study, we demonstrated that lapA, encoding alkaline phosphatase, plays a

The concept of mechanism in biology [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2012 The concept of mechanism in biology has three distinct meanings. It may refer to a philosophical thesis about the nature of life and biology ('mechanicism'), to the internal workings of a machine-like structure ('machine mechanism'), or to the causal explanation of a particular phenomenon ('causal mechanism').

Epigenetics: Biology's Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011 The perspective presented here is that modern genetics is at a similar stage of development as were early formulations of quantum mechanics theory in the 1920s and that in 2010 we are at the dawn of a new revolution in genetics that promises to enrich and deepen our understanding of the gene and the genome. The interrelationships and interdependence of

Ferroptosis: mechanisms, biology and role in disease
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2021 The research field of ferroptosis has seen exponential growth over the past few years, since the term was coined in 2012. This unique modality of cell death, driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, is regulated by multiple cellular metabolic pathways, including redox homeostasis, iron handling, mitochondrial activity and metabolism of amino

Three facets of mathematical cancer biology research [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cancer, as the uncontrollable cell growth, is related to many branches of biology. In this review, we will discuss three mathematical approaches for studying cancer biology: population dynamics, gene regulation, and developmental biology. If we understand all biochemical mechanisms of cancer cells, we can directly calculate how the cancer cell ...

Molecular mechanisms of telomere biology disorders [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Genetic mutations that affect telomerase function or telomere maintenance result in a variety of diseases collectively called telomeropathies. This wide spectrum of disorders, which include dyskeratosis congenita, pulmonary fibrosis, and aplastic anemia, is characterized by severely short telomeres, often resulting in hematopoietic stem cell failure in

Biology helps you to win a game [PDF]
Physica Scripta T106, 32 (2003), 2003 We present a game of interacting agents which mimics the complex dynamics found in many natural and social systems. These agents modify their strategies periodically, depending on their performances using genetic crossover mechanisms, inspired by biology. We study the performances of the agents under different conditions, and how they adapt themselves.
