Development of fad7-1 single mutant Arabidopsis thaliana plants that are resistant to aphids [PDF]
, 2014 Aphids are a group of sap-feeding insects that attack most of the world’s crops. The loss of function of fatty acid desaturase7 (FAD7) in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato plant) induces aphid resistance that is dependent upon the accumulation of plant ...

Lectins as Plant Defense Proteins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1995 Many plant species contain carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are commonly referred to as either lectins or agglutinins. Generally speaking, lectins are proteins that bind reversibly to specific monoor oligosaccharides. Since the initial discovery of a hemagglutinating factor in castor bean extracts by Stillmark in 1888, several hundred of these ...

Conserved nematode signalling molecules elicit plant defenses and pathogen resistance [PDF]
, 2015 Plant-defense responses are triggered by perception of conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), for example, flagellin or peptidoglycan.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.
