A genome wide association scan for (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content in the grain of contemporary 2-row Spring and Winter barleys [PDF]

, 2014
Background: (1,3;1,4)-β-Glucan is an important component of the cell walls of barley grain as it affects processability during the production of alcoholic beverages and has significant human health benefits when consumed aboverecommended threshold levels.

Close evolutionary relatedness among functionally distantly related members of the (α/β)8-barrel glycosyl hydrolases suggested by the similarity of their fifth conserved sequence region

, 1995
A short conserved sequence equivalent to the fifth conserved sequence region of α-amylases (173_LPDLD, Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase) comprising the calcium-ligand aspartate, Asp-175, was identified in the amino acid sequences of several members of the ...

Genomic and Transcriptomic Insights Into Salinity Tolerance in Dry Pea

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major crop production constraint in dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), making the development of salt‐tolerant varieties essential to improve crop productivity and land‐use efficiency. The genetic mechanisms of salt tolerance in dry pea are largely unknown, and research on salt‐tolerant genes is limited.

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Comparison of lipases and glycoside hydrolases as catalysts in synthesis reactions

, 2016
Lipases and glycoside hydrolases have large similarities concerning reaction mechanisms. Acyl-enzyme intermediates are formed during lipase-catalyzed reactions and in an analogous way, retaining glycoside hydrolases form glycosyl-enzyme intermediates ...

Development and characterization of near‐isogenic lines for quantitative trait locus qDT.3B.1 underlying drought tolerance in wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Drought is a critical challenge to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. The quantitative complexity of drought tolerance makes breeding for this trait difficult. Developing near‐isogenic lines (NILs) targeting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000‐grain weight (TGW) under drought stress can effectively identify key mechanisms and genes.

Cell wall hydrolases act in concert during aerenchyma development in sugarcane roots

, 2019
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cell wall disassembly occurs naturally in plants by the action of several glycosyl-hydrolases during different developmental processes such as lysigenous and constitutive aerenchyma formation in sugarcane roots.

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Association mapping for hop cone chemistry and morphology identifies natural beneficial allele stacks

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

Characterization of the diversity of symbiotic organisms and glycosyl hydrolases activities in the digestive tract of Reticulitermes santonensis (Feytaud) by a multidisciplinary approach

, 2010
Le bioéthanol cellulosique pourrait être une solution pour satisfaire le besoin croissant en énergie renouvelable. Actuellement, l’efficience de la transformation de la cellulose en sucres fermentescibles reste le principal facteur limitant. La recherche
