Arabidopsis bZIP11 Is a Susceptibility Factor during Pseudomonas syringae Infection [PDF]
The induction of plant nutrient secretion systems is critical for successful pathogen infection. Some bacterial pathogens (e.g., Xanthomonas spp.) use transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors to induce transcription of SWEET sucrose efflux ...

Primary Cell Culture as a Model System for Evolutionary Molecular Physiology. [PDF]
Primary cell culture is a powerful model system to address fundamental questions about organismal physiology at the cellular level, especially for species that are difficult, or impossible, to study under natural or semi-natural conditions.

Oxytocin promotes hepatic regeneration in elderly mice
Summary: Liver aging impairs the ability of hepatocyte regeneration. Recent studies have found that oxytocin (OT) plays an important role in promoting tissue repair and maintaining differentiation and regeneration of stem cells. Here, we reported that OT

From lignocellulose to plastics: Knowledge transfer on the degradation approaches by fungi [PDF]
In this review, we argue that there is much to be learned by transferring knowledge from research on lignocellulose degradation to that on plastic. Plastic waste accumulates in the environment to hazardous levels, because it is inherently recalcitrant to

Propionate induces intestinal oxidative stress via Sod2 propionylation in zebrafish
Summary: Propionate and propionyl-CoA accumulation have been associated with the development of mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, we show that propionate induces intestinal damage in zebrafish when fed a high-fat diet (HFD). The intestinal damage

Evidence for ligninolytic activity of the ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina [PDF]
Background The ascomycete fungus Podospora anserina has been appreciated for its targeted carbohydrate-active enzymatic arsenal. As a late colonizer of herbivorous dung, the fungus acts specifically on the more recalcitrant fraction of lignocellulose and

Potential Fungi Isolated From Anti-biodegradable Chinese Medicine Residue to Degrade Lignocellulose [PDF]
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the ancient medicines which is popular in Asian countries, among which the residue produced by the use of anti-biodegradables is endless, and causes significant adverse impacts on the environment.

Effects of parental temperature and nitrate on seed performance are reflected by partly overlapping genetic and metabolic pathways [PDF]
Seed performance is affected by the seed maturation environment, and previously we have shown that temperature, nitrate and light intensity were the most influential environmental factors affecting seed performance.

Molecular Physiology of Mammalian Glucokinase [PDF]
The glucokinase (GCK) gene was one of the first candidate genes to be identified as a human "diabetes gene". Subsequently, important advances were made in understanding the impact of GCK in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Structure elucidation by crystallography provided insight into the kinetic properties of GCK.
