Three new species of Neohelicomyces (Tubeufiales, Tubeufiaceae) from freshwater and terrestrial habitats in China [PDF]
Neohelicomyces species are a group of helicosporous hyphomycetes with the potential to produce secondary metabolites. During our investigation of helicosporous fungi, six collections were isolated from both terrestrial and freshwater habitats in Guizhou ...

ABSTRACT Global warming impacts several aspects of plant physiology, with important negative effects on crop yield and production of secondary metabolites, such as anthocyanins. The anthocyanin content of vegetables and fruits has attracted public interest in the last two decades due to its health benefits, leading to the development of novel ...

Predicting protein function with hierarchical phylogenetic profiles: The Gene3D phylo-tuner method applied to eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]
"Phylogenetic profiling'' is based on the hypothesis that during evolution functionally or physically interacting genes are likely to be inherited or eliminated in a codependent manner.

Evolution-guided functional analyses reveal diverse antiviral specificities encoded by IFIT1 genes in mammals. [PDF]
IFIT (interferon-induced with tetratricopeptide repeats) proteins are critical mediators of mammalian innate antiviral immunity. Mouse IFIT1 selectively inhibits viruses that lack 2'O-methylation of their mRNA 5' caps.

Automated simultaneous analysis phylogenetics (ASAP): an enabling tool for phlyogenomics
Background The availability of sequences from whole genomes to reconstruct the tree of life has the potential to enable the development of phylogenomic hypotheses in ways that have not been before possible.

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism
We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...

Discrimination, Crypticity, and Incipient Taxa in Entamoeba [PDF]
Persistent difficulties in resolving clear lineages in diverging populations of prokaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes (protistan polyphyletic groups) are challenging the classical species concept.
