Plant Signaling & BehaviorAsymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) in the root ground tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana are essential for middle cortex (MC) formation, which contributes to root architecture and environmental adaptability. Here, we demonstrate that brassinosteroids (BRs) and

Sintra-root system heterogeneity of Radopholus similis population dynamics on bananas, a modelling approach [PDF]
, 2009 At the plant scale, the heterogeneity of pest populations have long time been ignored. Concerning plant-parasitic nematodes, there is strong evidence that these populations could be highly heterogeneous in space, mostly due to their low dispersal ...

Root Development: The Embryo Within? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 Root growth is sustained by stem cells maintained at the root tip. Recent evidence suggests that genes required to maintain root stem cells also specify root identity in the early embryo.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Root growth and crop yield of two varieties of wheat grown under differing irrigation regimes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1974 Root growth and crop yield of Gamenya, a standard height variety, and Karamu, a semi-dwarf, spring wheat were compared under 3 irrigation regimes: daily watering; infrequent (fortnightly) watering; and sub-irrigation, where water was introduced into the ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.
