Efficient Marker-Assisted Pyramiding of Xa21 and Xa23 Genes into Elite Rice Restorer Lines Confers Broad-Spectrum Resistance to Bacterial Blight

Plants
Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a major threat to global rice productivity. Although hybrid rice breeding has significantly enhanced yields, persistent genetic vulnerabilities within restorer lines continue to ...

IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

Using fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy to quantify molecular dynamics within cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Microscopy techniques like fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and number and brightness analysis (N&B) allow to quantify concentrations, diffusion rates, and oligomerization of fluorescently labeled molecules in the living cell. In this protocol the principles of how to set up these types of experiments are described including calibration ...

Characterization of active transposable elements and their new insertions in tuber propagated greater yam (Dioscorea alata)

BMC Genomics
Background Greater yam is a key staple crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions, while its asexual propagation mode had led to non-flowering mutations. How transposable elements contribute to its genetic variations is rarely analyzed.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Color Formation in the Peel of an Evergreen Pomegranate Cultivar ‘Danruo No.1’ During Fruit Development

Plants
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an ancient fruit crop that has been cultivated worldwide and is known for its attractive appearance and functional metabolites. Fruit color is an important index of fruit quality, but the color formation pattern in the

A nationwide student survey on biochemistry learning resources in Italy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We conducted a survey among Italian university students to investigate their preferred study materials for biochemistry. We then analyzed the collected data to identify these materials. This information may be valuable to the Biochemistry educational community. The graphical abstract was created with Claude (Opus 5.5; Anthropic, 2026).

Melatonin Improves Storage Quality of Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) by Inhibiting Sprouting, Weight Loss, and Lignification and Elevating Sweetness

Plants
It has been well established that exogenous melatonin (MT) improves storage quality of many agricultural products. However, contrasting results have been reported in the regulation of MT with respect to several postharvest parameters, e.g., germination ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Green manuring improves soil quality, grain yield, and grain anthocyanin content in colored rice cultivated in tropical regions

Food and Energy Security
Green manuring is the process by which vegetative crops are incorporated into the soil, and it plays a good substitutable role in reducing chemical fertilizer applications while enhancing soil fertility. Field experiments were conducted at Lingao City of
