Genetic analysis of root vascular traits in a population from two temperate japonica rice ecotypes

Plant Production Science, 2022
The genetic basis for root vascular traits in rice, despite its direct impacts on root axial and radial hydraulic conductivity, has not been widely studied compared with deep rooting traits. We used five phenotyping datasets (i.e.

Intraspecific variation in root and leaf traits and leaf-root trait linkages in eight aspen demes (<i>Populus tremula</i> and <i>P. tremuloides</i>)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Leaf and fine root morphology and physiology have been found to vary considerably among tree species, but not much is known about intraspecific variation in root traits and their relatedness to leaf traits.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Differences in Root Morphologies of Contrasting Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Genotypes Are Robust of a Drought Treatment

Plants, 2023
We aimed to assess the effect of water deprivation on root traits and to establish if the wheat cultivars Spica and Maringa would be useful as parental germplasm for a genetic analysis of root traits.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

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

FEBS 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.

Genetic analysis of root traits in maize [PDF]

Agronomie, 1998
In many areas around the world, maize (Zea Mays L.) crops are affected by root lodging. Several authors have previously shown that associations of root and shoot traits enabled the prediction of the resistance of genotypes to root lodging. In this preliminary attempt to understand the genetics of these traits, a set of 100 recombinant inbred lines from

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Phenotyping, genome‐wide dissection, and prediction of maize root architecture for temperate adaptability

iMeta
Root System Architecture (RSA) plays an essential role in influencing maize yield by enhancing anchorage and nutrient uptake. Analyzing maize RSA dynamics holds potential for ideotype‐based breeding and prediction, given the limited understanding of the ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
