Heterofertilization of the opaque-2 endosperm in maize [PDF]

open access: yesHereditas, 2008
Selection on endosperm traits among individual kernels is very important in maize because the characteristics of the kernel, especially the endosperm, are directly related to quality and yield. However the accuracy of the selection according to endosperm phenotype may be affected by heterofertilization. The objective of this work was to investigate the

Wor1‐regulated ferroxidases contribute to pigment formation in opaque cells of Candida albicans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2021
Candida albicans is a harmless commensal resident in the human gut and a prevalent opportunistic pathogen. A key part of its commensalism and pathogenesis is its ability to switch between different morphological forms, including white‐to‐opaque switching.

Transparent masks reduce the negative impact of opaque masks on understanding emotional states but not on sharing them

open access: yesCognitive Research, 2022
While face masks provide necessary protection against disease spread, they occlude the lower face parts (chin, mouth, nose) and consequently impair the ability to accurately perceive facial emotions.

Measuring β-galactosidase activity in opaque dairy solutions under optimum conditions for galactooligosaccharide synthesis by isothermal titration calorimetry

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2023
: The dairy industry uses enzymes to make cheese, alter product flavor, and eliminate lactose. The activities of these enzymes have been measured in clear buffered solutions, but because of the limitations of spectrophotometric methods, enzyme activities

Combining three grain mutants for improved‐quality sweet corn

open access: yesAgricultural & Environmental Letters, 2020
Our goal was to improve sweet corn (Zea mays L.) by the novel approach of combining three grain mutants in one plant, shrunken‐2 (sh2sh2), purple (Pr1Pr1C1C1), and opaque‐2 (o2o2), for increased sugar, anthocyanin, and tryptophan content, respectively ...

Extensive evolution of cereal ribosome-inactivating proteins translates into unique structural features, activation mechanisms, and physiological roles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...

Multiple molecular events underlie stochastic switching between 2 heritable cell states in fungi.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
Eukaryotic transcriptional networks are often large and contain several levels of feedback regulation. Many of these networks have the ability to generate and maintain several distinct transcriptional states across multiple cell divisions and to switch ...

Increasing lysine content of waxy maize through introgression of opaque-2 and opaque-16 genes using molecular assisted and biochemical development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The low lysine content of waxy maize cannot meet the nutritional requirements of humans, livestock, or poultry. In the present study, the high-lysine genes o2 and o16 were backcrossed into wx lines using the maize high-lysine inbreds TAIXI19 (o2o2) and ...

Gross appearance of the fetal membrane on the placental surface is associated with histological chorioamnionitis and neonatal respiratory disorders.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
An opaque fetal membrane based on gross appearance is traditionally indicative of histological chorioamnionitis; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is currently no supportive evidence, and its diagnostic efficiency has not yet been ...
