Plant Taxonomy, Systematics and Phylogeography
PlantsPlant taxonomy and phylogeny deal with very important problems related to the genetic diversity of populations found in different geographical regions, trying to present the variability of these populations but also to explain their origin.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Plant Hormones in Phytoplasma Infected Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Phytoplasmas are bacterial plant pathogens that need a plant host and an insect vector for their spread and survival. In plants, the physiological responses that phytoplasmas trigger result in symptom development through effects on hormonal, nutritional, and stress signaling pathways, and the interactions between these.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

A carbon dot toolbox for managing biotic and abiotic stresses in crop production systems
EcoMatThe productivity of global crop production is under threat caused by various biotic and abiotic adverse conditions, such as plant diseases and pests, which are responsible for 20%–40% of global crop losses estimated at a value of USD 220 billion, and can

The Effects of Lead Species and Growth Time on Accumulation of Lead in Chinese Cabbage
Global Challenges, 2017 A major pathway for heavy metal exposure in contaminated areas is via consumption of locally produced food. This study investigated the accumulation of lead in Chinese cabbage grown in contaminated soils and estimated the weekly dietary intake ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Molecular Evolution of Cu Transporters and Transcription Factors in Plant Response to Copper Stress
PlantsCopper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants, playing a crucial role in various physiological and molecular processes. Excess Cu induces oxidative stress and disrupts cellular functions, while Cu deficiency causes chlorosis and poor pollen ...

Biogenic speleothems: an overview. [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 2001 The idea that speleothems may be somehow influenced by living organisms is rather old, but specific studies have only started in the last few decades and presently there are only a couple of systematic papers on this topic. The role of micro-organisms is
