Genome-Wide Identification of Height-Related Genes Using Three Maize Dwarfs and RNA-Seq

Agronomy
Plant height is an important grain yield-associated trait in maize. To date, few genes related to plant height have been characterized in maize. To better understand the genetic mechanisms of plant height in maize, we revealed the transcriptional changes

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Holobiont-based genetic analysis reveals new plant and microbial markers for resistance against a root rot pathogen complex in pea

BMC Plant Biology
Background The pea root rot complex is caused by various soil-borne pathogens that likely reinforce each other, influencing the composition of the root microbiome and leading to significant yield reductions.

Strawberry Growth Medium Made with Biogas Residues: Feasibility and Economic Benefit Potential

Agronomy
In this study, we examined the impact of various physical and chemical properties of growth media on strawberry growth, yield, quality, and economic returns. Six treatments were established: T1 (biogas residue/peat/perlite/vinegar residue = 1:5:1:4), T2 (

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...
