Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Aluminium effects on pyridine nucleotide redox state in roots of Scots pine
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 After prolonged (3-9 weeks) hydroponic treatment of Scots pine seedlings with different concentrations (0.5-4.0 mM) of Al (AI(N03)3), the levels of pyridine nucleotides were determined in root homogenates.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Crystal Packing of Protomers Provides a Valuable Structural Insight into Protein Structure
CrystalsThe crystal structure of proteins is generally considered static due to the constraints imposed by crystal packing. We determined the crystal structure of rice NADP-malic enzyme 2 (OsNADP-ME2), an oxidative decarboxylase that converts malic acid to ...

Sources of reducing equivalents for nitrite reductase in Pisum arvense roots
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+ as well as malic acid and NADP+ present in the incubation mixture enhanced nitrite reductase (EC 1.6.6.4) activity in Pisum arvense roots.
