Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Tocotrienols: A Review From Source to Therapeutic Applications

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Tocotrienols demonstrate superior antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti‐inflammatory properties compared to conventional vitamin E forms, with promising therapeutic applications across multiple disorders when delivered through optimized systems that enhance their inherently limited bioavailability.

Two key events associated with a transposable element burst occurred during rice domestication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Transposable elements shape genome evolution through periodic bursts of amplification. In this study we exploited knowledge of the components of the mPing/Ping/Pong TE family in four rice strains undergoing mPing bursts to track their copy numbers and ...

Genetic variability studies for qualitative and quantitative traits in some recently developed rice varieties of Bangladesh

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The study aimed to assess six recently developed rice varieties: BRRI dhan84, BRRI dhan89, BRRI dhan92, BRRI dhan99, BRRI dhan100, and BRRI dhan102 of Bangladesh. The primary objectives were to assess genetic variability and key genetic parameters for selected qualitative and quantitative traits, identify, and prioritize promising ...

Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Transferring an optimized TAP-toolbox for the isolation of protein complexes to a portfolio of rice tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Proteins are the cell's functional entities. Rather than operating independently, they interact with other proteins. Capturing in vivo protein complexes is therefore crucial to gain understanding of the function of a protein in a cellular context ...

Taxonomic insights into Indian Rotala (Lythraceae) species with verticillate phyllotaxy

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
In an effort to resolve taxonomic complexities among Indian Rotala species with verticillate phyllotaxy, this study provides an identification key, revised nomenclature, updated morphological descriptions including SEM studies of seed coat surfaces, detailed photoplates, and notes on phenology, ecology, and distribution.

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...
