Fine Mapping of Bush Gene and Development of Molecular Marker for Bush Type in Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.)

Agronomy
The bush trait is an important agronomic trait with great value for pumpkin crops. In this study, a bush-type line, CS82, identified in pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) showed no obvious main vine, and all petioles clustered at the extremely shortened stem ...

Evaluating Multiple Allelic Combination to Determine Tiller Angle Variation in Rice

Agriculture, 2020
Tiller angle is an important influencing factor in rice plant architecture that affects planting density and yield per unit area. Molecular tools to predict tiller angle contribute to breeding programs, which aim at optimizing rice plant architecture. In

MINI BODY1, encoding a MATE/DTX family transporter, affects plant architecture in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
It has been shown that multidrug and toxic compound extrusion/detoxification (MATE/DTX) family transporters are involved in the regulation of plant development and stress response.

3D ultrastructural organization of whole Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells studied by nanoscale soft x-ray tomography [PDF]

, 2012
The complex architecture of their structural elements and compartments is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. The creation of high resolution models of whole cells has been limited by the relatively low resolution of conventional light microscopes and the ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

GWAS for the identification of introgressed candidate genes of Sinapis alba with increased branching numbers in backcross lines of the allohexaploid Brassica

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plant architecture is a crucial determinant of crop yield. The number of primary (PB) and secondary branches (SB) is particularly significant in shaping the architecture of Indian mustard.

Overexpression of TaLBD16-4D alters plant architecture and heading date in transgenic wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Lateral organ boundaries domain (LBD) proteins, a class of plant-specific transcription factors with a special domain of lateral organ boundaries (LOB), play essential roles in plant growth and development.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

The Strigolactone Pathway Is a Target for Modifying Crop Shoot Architecture and Yield

Biology, 2023
Due to their sessile nature, plants have developed the ability to adapt their architecture in response to their environment. Branching is an integral component of plant architecture, where hormonal signals tightly regulate bud outgrowth.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
