Competing for Iron: Duplication and Amplification of the isd Locus in Staphylococcus lugdunensis HKU09-01 Provides a Competitive Advantage to Overcome Nutritional Limitation. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2016
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase negative bacterial pathogen that is particularly associated with severe cases of infectious endocarditis. Unique amongst the coagulase-negative staphylococci, S.

DNA-based S-genotyping of Japanese plum and pluot cultivars to clarify incompatibility relationships [PDF]

, 2007
Diploid japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivars are commonly self-incompatible. To date, 14 incompatibility alleles (S-alleles) have been identified and labeled with alphabetical (S-a-S-n) and 5 with numeric codes (S-1, S-3-S-6).

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

Current advances in genomics and breeding of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) [PDF]

, 2016
This review gives an overview of agricultural topics on a non-model species, in other words, leaf chicory. Often classified as a minor crop, \u201cRadicchio\u201d, the Italian name of leaf chicory, is assuming a very important role at both a local and ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals the sequence characteristics of pear self-incompatibility locus

Molecular Horticulture
The S-RNase-based self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) in Petunia species contains 16–20 F-box genes, which collaboratively function in the recognition and subsequent degradation of non-self S-RNases, while distinguishing them from self S-RNase. However,

Molecular Research Progress on Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility in Rosaceae Species

Horticulturae
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a complex mechanism that prevents plants from self-fertilizing to preserve and promote genetic variability. The angiosperm species have developed two different SI systems, the sporophytic (SSI) and the gametophytic (GSI ...

Analysis of Egg White Lysozyme Polymorphisms among Japanese Quail Populations in Japan and France

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2012
Japanese quail egg white lysozyme possesses two alleles (S and F). In our previous study, the F phenotype was more effective against bacteria than the S phenotype, whereas the female-derived S phenotype led to improved hatchability.

Genotype and phenotype of Nicotiana alata x Nicotina rastroensis [PDF]

, 2004
only availableGametophytic self-incompability (SI) is a process which enables plants to prevent inbreeding depression by rejecting self-pollen and pollen from closely related individuals. S-specific pollen rejection is controlled on a multi-allelic locus,

Expression and trans-specific polymorphism of self-incompatibility RNases in Coffea (Rubiaceae) [PDF]

, 2011
Self-incompatibility (SI) is widespread in the angiosperms, but identifying the biochemical components of SI mechanisms has proven to be difficult in most lineages. Coffea (coffee; Rubiaceae) is a genus of old-world tropical understory trees in which the
