Inbreeding depression simulation in popcorn cultivars to estimate the effective population size for germplasm conservation

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2007
Nowadays the corn variability is preserved mainly in germplasm banks. A population maintained in a germplasm bank can lose genetic variability when regenerations are performed with an inadequate effective population size.

Functional characterization of the Csm1-like protein TITAN 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana

iScience
Summary: Kinetochores are essential for chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. An important component of kinetochores in opisthokonta is Csm1. However, its function appears to be diversified and, while Csm1 in budding yeast is a component of the monopolin

Supernumerary B chromosomes of Aegilops speltoides undergo precise elimination in roots early in embryo development

Nature Communications, 2020
B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes exhibiting dramatic differences between different organs in same species. Here, the authors show programmed B chromosome elimination in goatgrass starts at the onset of embryo differentiation by nondisjunction ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

GCCVision: An integrated toolkit for calculating and visualizing parental genome contribution in breeding populations

iScience
Summary: Tracking parental genome contributions in segregating populations is crucial for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. We introduce GCCVision (Genome Contribution Calculator and Visualizer), an integrated bioinformatics toolkit to ...

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.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
