Stability and Adaptability of Triticale (Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus) Varieties Across Environmental Conditions in the Highlands of Southern Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy
Triticale combines the yield and quality of wheat with the disease resistance of rye. To choose stable and reasonably high-yielding varieties and to estimate the degree of variation and environmental interactions, five triticale varieties and one local ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Isozymes in plant breeding

California Agriculture, 1982
Not available – first paragraph follows: Isozymes are multiple molecular forms of an enzyme derived from a tissue of an organism. They are usually separated when an electric charge causes their migration through a gel, and they are visualized when the ...

Copy number variation of Ppd-B1 is the major determinant of heading time in durum wheat

BMC Genetics, 2019
Background Heading time is an important adaptive trait in durum wheat. In hexaploid wheat, Photoperiod-1 (Ppd) loci are essential regulators of heading time, with Ppd-B1 conferring photoperiod insensitivity through copy number variations (CNV).

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Genomic Identification and Comprehensive Characterization of the CAMTA Transcription Factor Family in Brassica rapa L.

International Journal of Genomics
Calmodulin-binding transcription activators (CAMTAs) are a key family of transcription factors that regulate gene expression involved in plant development and mediate plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses.

Exploring the molecular basis of heterosis for plant breeding.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2020
Since approximate a century ago, many hybrid crops have been continually developed by crossing two inbred varieties. Owing to heterosis (hybrid vigor) in plants, these hybrids often have superior agricultural performances in yield or disease resistance ...
