Domestication‐Selected Promoter Insertion in WRKY17 Increases Cadmium Sensitivity in Apple
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing industrialisation and human activities, heavy metal pollution has become a serious environmental concern, particularly cadmium (Cd) contamination. This study reveals significant differences in Cd tolerance between wild apple (Malus spp.) and cultivated apple (Malus domestica).

Accumulation of Ag(I) by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells Expressing Plant Metallothioneins
Cells, 2018 The various applications of Ag(I) generated the necessity to obtain Ag(I)-accumulating organisms for the removal of surplus Ag(I) from contaminated sites or for the concentration of Ag(I) from Ag(I)-poor environments.

Human CLPP reverts the longevity phenotype of a fungal ClpP deletion strain [PDF]
, 2013 Mitochondrial maintenance crucially depends on the quality control of proteins by various chaperones, proteases and repair enzymes. While most of the involved components have been studied in some detail, little is known on the biological role of the ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Head rice yield (HRY) is a crucial quality trait that determines the final commodity yield and commercial value of rice. Conversely, chalkiness represents an undesirable appearance characteristic, significantly impairing rice marketability. Thus, developing rice germplasms with superior HRY and appearance traits is highly desirable for rice ...

The effects of endosulfan on P450 1A gene expression, antioxidant enzymes activity and histopathological alterations in liver of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus Borodin, 1987) [PDF]
, 2016 The effects of 14 days exposure to sublethal concentrations of endosulfan (10 and 40 μg L−1) were investigated in mRNA- P450 1A expression, antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) activity and histopathological alterations of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser ...

OsMT2b Regulates Pollen Development and ROS Homeostasis in a Photoperiod‐Dependent Manner
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signalling molecules that promote programmed cell death in animal and plant systems. However, their role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) anther development is unclear. In this study, we show that lower transcript levels of the metallothionein gene OsMT2b in japonica rice plants obtained by RNA interference (RNAi ...
