Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Motion behavior of a charged droplet impacting on hydrophilic and hydrophobic leaf surfaces

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering
The impact behavior of charged droplets on leaf surfaces with varying degrees of hydrophobicity was experimentally investigated. A high-speed camera was employed to quantitatively capture the impact morphology and motion dynamics of the droplets under ...

The effects of long-day lighting and removal of young leaves on tomato yield [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
While low intensity long-day (LD) lighting has been shown to enhance the growth of young plants under low light levels, its effect on the yield of a long-season glasshouse tomato crop has not been previously examined.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Metabolomic Profile of Vaccinium corymbosum Leaves: Exploiting Diversity Among Ten Different Cultivars

open access: yesFoods
Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) leaves are often discarded as agricultural by-products despite their potential abundance in bioactive compounds. However, comprehensive knowledge of their phytochemical profile remains limited, especially at the cultivar ...

The influence of altered water availability on stomatal patterns of leaves. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The aim of this research was to study the influence of altered water availability on stomatal patterns of leaves. A baseline study of leaves stomatal indices, (stomatal as a proportional of all epidermal cells) stomatal density, (number of stomatal per ...

Cell wall involvement in desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Bibliography: leaves 92-129.Resurrection plants have the unique capacity to revive from an air-dried state. In order to cope with desiccation, resurrection plants have to overcome a number of stresses, mechanical stress being one.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
