Biodegradable film: a sustainable alternative to polyethylene film for Loess Plateau maize production

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
The use of biodegradable film as an alternative to polyethylene film is still controversial. Thus, a split-plot field trial was performed with planting patterns [traditional planting (FNM), and ridge-furrow planting with polyethylene and biodegradable ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Integrated Microbiology and Metabolomics Analysis Reveal Responses of Soil Bacterial Communities and Metabolic Functions to N-Zn Co-Fertilization in the Rhizosphere of Tea Plants (Camellia sinensis L.)

open access: yesPlants
The co-fertilization of nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) offers significant advantages in improving the growth and development of tea plants (Camellia sinensis L). However, the corresponding responses of rhizosphere microecology remain unclear.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Soil disinfestation and optimized nutrient management reduces nitrogen leaching and shapes soil microbial community composition in greenhouse cucumber production systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
High nutrient input leads to problems such as excessive accumulation of soil nutrients, and imbalance of microbial communities. However, there remains significant gaps in the impact of soil disinfestation and optimized nutrient management measures on the

Altering nutrient utilization in animals through transgenesis [PDF]

open access: yesNutrition Research Reviews, 1999
AbstractImproved domestic animal productivity is necessary in order to provide for an increasing world population over the next two to three decades and such improvement would be aided by an increase in the efficiency of nutrient utilization. This can be achieved by conventional genetic selection protocols but progress by this approach is slow.
