Effects of water level on three wetlands soil seed banks on the Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Although the effect of water level on germination in soil seed banks has been documented in many ecosystems, the mechanism is not fully understood, and to date no empirical studies on this subject exist.

Maintenance of wetland plant communities: the role of the seed bank in regeneration of native plants

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2021
Exotic grasses have been introduced into wetlands and can compete with native plants due to their high tolerance of flood and dry periods. Flooding can facilitate seed dispersal of exotic species and reduce the diversity of native species.

Development of human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 by yeast display

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 are generated by yeast display‐guided selection. These antibodies bind to soluble and cell‐surface forms of TARM1. Also, these antibodies exhibit agonistic activity in the NFAT‐GFP reporter assay, indicating that TARM1 signaling can be functionally modulated by antibodies and suggesting TARM1 as a potential ...

Flora, life form and chorological study of soil seed bank in Sisangan box tree (Buxus hyrcanus Pojark) Forest Reserve [PDF]

Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2014
The present study involves the soil seed bank flora of the Sisangan Box tree (Buxus hyrcanus Pojark) reserve by using seedling emergence method. 150 soil samples were collected during late June and early November by hammering a hollow metal frame 400 cm2

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals different characteristics of bladder cancer cells after exposure to bisphenol A

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical in plastics, exerts dual effects on bladder cancer cells: low doses promote growth and migration, while high doses suppress growth and migration. Multi‐omics and bioinformatics reveal BPA acts via MAPK and inflammatory pathways.

Differential role of a persistent seed bank for genetic variation in early vs. late successional stages.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Persistent seed banks are predicted to have an important impact on population genetic processes by increasing effective population size and storing past genetic diversity.

Suppression of lung adenocarcinoma migration through organelle alkalization by human lactoferrin – albumin fusion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This paper reveals how human lactoferrin–albumin fusion (hLF‐HSA) potently suppresses lung adenocarcinoma cell migration. hLF‐HSA upregulates NHE7, leading to Golgi alkalization, disruption of the Golgi secretome, downregulation of MMP1, and reversal of EMT. These findings suggest a novel Golgi‐targeting strategy to suppress cancer cell migration.

The Tahitian chestnut [Inocarpus fagifer (Parkinson ex F.A.Zorn) Fosberg, Fabaceae], a neglected multi-purpose tree from the Asia–Pacific region

Discover Agriculture
The Tahitian (or Polynesian) chestnut Inocarpus fagifer is distributed widely in tropical South-East Asia and in the Pacific region. It is an important component in traditional agroforestry systems.

How are seed banks and seed rain affected after 30 years of exotic grass cultivation?

Rodriguésia
The conversion of different forest formations into pastures with exotic grasses leads to irreversible damage over time. However, the dispersal of diaspores from adjacent areas and the formation of seed banks can influence regeneration processes.

Seasonal dynamics of the plant community and soil seed bank along a successional gradient in a subalpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundKnowledge about how change the importance of soil seed bank and relationship between seed mass and abundance during vegetation succession is crucial for understanding vegetation dynamics.
