An AGC kinase cascade regulates ROP signaling for the correct timing of pollen germination
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Model for PDK1‐AGC1.5/7 kinase cascade function in controlling pollen germination. Summary In flowering plants, the timing of pollen germination is crucial for successful fertilization and an important trait for seed and fruit crops. Environmental factors tightly regulate pollen germination, with germination‐suppressing conditions on the pollen ...

ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 2010 With the commercial development of multicore processors, the challenges of writing multithreaded programs to take advantage of these new hardware architectures are becoming more and more pertinent. Concurrent programming is necessary to achieve the performance that the hardware offers. Traditional approaches present concurrency as an

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Lipid Accumulation Promotes Tumorigenic Behaviour of Colorectal Cancer Cells
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 19, October 2026.ABSTRACT Obesity and hyperlipidemia are risk factors for the development and progression of different types of cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC). The underlying mechanisms are only incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of hyperlipidemic conditions on tumorigenic behaviour of CRC cells and the effect of obesity ...

RGF signaling bridges root development and nonlethal thermal stress adaptation
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2656-2671, September 2026.Nonlethal high temperature inhibits root growth. Summary Roots adapt to growth‐restricting but nonlethal high temperatures. Although lethal heat shock and moderately elevated temperatures have been extensively studied, the effects of nonlethal thermal stress on root development remain unclear.

A tomato MIK2‐clade receptor is involved in the perception of a Fusarium‐derived elicitor
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2777-2798, September 2026.Fusarium elicitor responsivness and MIK2‐clade proteins are conserved across plant families. Summary Plants continuously monitor their environment to adapt to threats affecting health and fitness. Cell‐surface receptors detect conserved microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) or endogenous immunogenic signals to activate signaling pathways that ...
