The role of trehalose metabolism in plant growth and stress responses [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis started with defining plant stress resilience and its societal significance in Chapter 1. We realized that not just the absolute yield matters to farmers but rather the predictability of the yield given the agricultural practices in the socio-

The sinusoidal hematopoietic niche is formed by Jam1a via Notch signaling in the zebrafish kidney
iScience, 2023 Summary: The zebrafish is a unique model to understand hematopoietic niches as hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells are maintained in the kidney. However, little is known about which cell types in the kidney play a role in hematopoietic niches.

Gene regulation in seeds: insights into translational dynamics [PDF]
, 2016 Seeds are unique structures in the plant life cycle. The variation in the timing of seed maturation, dispersion, and the establishment of seed dormancy and longevity, increases the chances of plant survival and enlarge the distance that plants could ...

Seed dormancy and seed longevity: from genetic variation to gene identification [PDF]
, 2014 Seed dormancy and seed longevity are the most important survival traits in the soil seed bank. Both traits are induced during seed maturation and evolved to assure seed survival during environmental conditions that cannot support the regular course of ...

Control of plant architecture by distinctive TALE homeobox gene interactions [PDF]
, 2009 In eukaryotes, transcription factor (TF)-based network is a widely used mechanism to regulate fundamental developmental processes. Both animals and plants utilize three-amino-acid-loop-extension (TALE) homeodomain (HD) transcription factors to subdivide ...

The role of Phe150 in human voltage-gated proton channel
iScience, 2022 Summary: The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 is a member of voltage-gated ion channels containing voltage-sensing domains (VSDs). The VSDs are made of four membrane-spanning segments (S1 through S4), and their function is to detect changes in membrane ...

Fructose and glucose signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2012 All life on earth depends on photosynthesis, a process by which energy from sunlight is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen. In plants, sugars are used as building blocks for growth, energy and transport.
