Identification of diverse agronomic traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm lines to use in crop improvement

Legume Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Abstract A chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) collection consisting of 445 Kabuli‐type collected from different locations of Iran was evaluated based on six qualitative and 14 quantitative morphological descriptors. Chickpea accessions were widely varied in plant height, the number of pods per plant, plant dry weight, 100‐grain weight, grain yield, and ...

Identification of suitable reference genes for studies of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl.

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1041-1053, April 2021., 2021
Appropriate and stable reference genes are important for normalization of gene expression. Here, we estimated the stability of 12 candidate reference genes in Syringa pinnatifolia. This study is the first to screen candidate reference genes in the genus Syringa and could help guide future molecular studies in this genus.

Rubber biosynthesis drives the biogenesis and development of rubber particles, the rubber-producing organelles. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Rubber particles (RPs) are specialized organelles for the biosynthesis and storage of natural rubber in rubber‐producing plants. However, the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and development of RPs remain unclear. In this study, two latex‐specific cis‐prenyltransferases (CPTs), TkCPT1 and TkCPT2, were identified in Taraxacum kok‐saghyz ...

Synergistic Potential of Argentatins A and B to Improve 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Models. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5‐fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s.
