Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Insights into the Future Control Strategy of Plant Viruses from a Model Pathosystem [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Plant diseases threaten global crop production. Among plant disease pathogens, viruses are the most difficult to control because there are no chemical measures that can directly limit their infection. To develop novel strategies to control plant viruses,

Phytophthora infestans RxLR Effector PITG06478 Hijacks 14-3-3 to Suppress PMA Activity Leading to Necrotrophic Cell Death

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2023
Pathogens often induce cell death for their successful proliferation in the host plant. Plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PMAs) are targeted by either pathogens or plant immune receptors in immune response regulation.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Divergent roles of FT-like 9 in flowering transition under different day lengths in Brachypodium distachyon

Nature Communications, 2019
Plant flowering time is modified by day length. Here the authors show that the model grass Brachypodium distachyon expresses different homologs of FT in short and long days to produce floral activator complexes with altered activities contributing to ...

The Effect of Growth Activators and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the Soil Properties, Root Yield, and Technological Quality of Sugar Beet

Agronomy, 2020
The strategy “from farm to fork” assumes a reduction in the usage of fertilizers and plant protection products in EU agriculture. The aim of this study, conducted over the years 2017–2019 in several locations in Poland, is to evaluate the application of ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Effect of Urea/Polyethylene Glycol Freeze-Activation Treatment on Bonding Mechanism and Properties of Adhesive-Free Straw Fiberboard

Journal of Natural Fibers
Self-bonding plant fiber boards harness the natural properties of plant fibers to develop adhesive strength through specific procedures, thereby minimizing or eliminating the need for chemical adhesives.

The histone demethylase Phf2 acts as a molecular checkpoint to prevent NAFLD progression during obesity

Nature Communications, 2018
Steatosis is characterized by initial accumulation of lipids, followed by inflammation and ultimately fibrosis. Here the authors show that the histone demethylase Plant Homeodomain Finger 2 protects liver form steatosis progression by acting as a co ...

Distribution and pathogenic peculiarities of fungi of the Alternaria genus on vegetable crops in Lithuania

Plant Protection Science, 2002
In 1999-2001 the investigation of Alternaria species on vegetable crops: cabbage, cucumber, tomato and carrot was carried out and fungi species were isolated from vegetables and substrata used for plant cultivation.
