The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

Analysis of hepatic copper, zinc, metallothionein and metallothionein‐Ia mRNA in developing sheep
The concentrations of zinc, copper, metallothionein and metallothionein‐Ia mRNA in sheep livers during development was determined. It was found that early sheep foetuses (30–40 days gestation) had very high concentrations of hepatic zinc (2305±814 μg/g ...

Algal Metallothioneins: Synthesis and regulation of two putative metallothioneins within the blue-green cyanobacteria anacystis nidulans [PDF]
Metallothioneins are low molecular-weight, cysteine-rich, trace metal-binding proteins. Whereas class III metallothioneins (MTs) have been isolated in eukaryotic algae, Anacystis nidulans (Synechococcus TX20) remains the only prokaryote in which a class ...

Cloning of metallothionein cDNA from neonatal rat liver
A metallothionein cDNA clone was isolated from a cDNA bank prepared from neonatal rat liver poly(A)-containing RNA by a colony screening procedure using [32P]cDNA probes prepared from mRNA of either metal-induced or uninduced rat livers.

Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Analysis Provides New Insights Into B Chromosome Elimination in Sorghum
ABSTRACT B chromosomes are supernumerary entities found in many plant species, with some exhibiting tissue‐specific elimination. In Sorghum purpureosericeum, extensive B chromosome elimination occurs during embryogenesis affecting most of the embryonic organs, leaving the B chromosome maintained mainly in limited regions of meristems.

Metallothionein-IIA promotes neurite growth via the megalin receptor
Metallothionein (MT)-I/II has been shown to be neuroprotective and neuroregenerative in a model of rat cortical brain injury. Here we examine expression patterns of MT-I/II and its putative receptor megalin in rat retina.

On the Role of Metallothionein in Cadmium Induced Renal Toxicity
Metallothionein plays an important role in the metabolism and toxicity of cadmium. Human beings are exposed to increasing amounts of cadmium. The critical organ in long term cadmium exposure is the kidney.

Die Rolle von Metallothionein-I/II im menschlichen Hippocampus bei Opiatabusus
In dieser Arbeit untersuchten wir, ob Opiatabusus im menschlichen Hippocampus ebenfalls zum Anstieg der Metallothioneinkonzentration führt. Wir etablierten eine immunhistochemische Methode zum Nachweis von Metallothionein der Isoformen I und II in ...

Induction of metallothionein synthesis in the liver of rats by X-ray irradiation [PDF]
Experiments were carried out on the rat liver metallothionein induced by X-ray irradiation. The following results were obtained. 1) The metallothionein content of liver cells increased for a certain time after X-ray irradiation.
