Investigation of viability rate and the effects of different breaking treatments of physical dormancy on seed germination of two tree species (Basswood and Black locust) [PDF]
Basswood(Tilia begonifolia) and Blacklocust (Robinia pseudoacacia) are two forest trees with seed dormancy due to very hard seed coat. Seeds of two species were collected from Ghorogh nursery in Gorgan province to remove seed coat (breaking seed dormancy)

Mutations in UDP-Glucose:Sterol Glucosyltransferase in Arabidopsis Cause Transparent Testa Phenotype and Suberization Defect in Seeds [PDF]
In higher plants, the most abundant sterol derivatives are steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl SGs. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc:sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the ...

Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Soybean Seed Coat Cracks and Green Seeds—Predisposing Conditions, Identification and Management
Seed coat cracking and green seeds threaten soybean crop production. Seed coat cracking results from a complex interplay of genetic factors, environmental stresses, and crop management practices.

: The effects of lignin on soybean seed quality have been studied since the early 1990s. Initially, higher lignin content in the seed coat was associated with greater resistance to mechanical damage by the seeds.

Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction
This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.

Identification of genetic loci conferring seed coat color based on a high-density map in soybean
Seed coat color is a typical evolutionary trait. Identification of the genetic loci that control seed coat color during the domestication of wild soybean could clarify the genetic variations between cultivated and wild soybean.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Expression of VINV1, SCB1 and SCS1 genes in the seed coats of contrasting soybean seeds1
The seed coat is vital for the proper development of soybean seeds and also, after their physiological maturity, for providing protection against various biotic and abiotic factors.
