The effects of different combinations and varying concentrations of growth regulators on the regeneration of selected Turkish cultivars of melon [PDF]

, 2013
Cucurbits are an economically important family of plants. The majority of the vegetable production in Turkey, for example, derives from the species beloning to the family Cucurbitaceae. Despite the importance of cucurbits among vegetable crops worldwide,

Inheritance of seed-coat color in the turnlp

Japanese Journal of Breeding, 1970
It is known that a red-root cultivar in the turnip produces orange seeds, while purple and white root cultivars produce brown seeds. This study was carried out to elucidate the combination of the gene concerning the color of the turnip seed-coat.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

The emerging oilseed crop Sesamum indicum enters the “Omics” era [PDF]

, 2017
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops widely grown in Africa and Asia for its high-quality nutritional seeds. It is well adapted to harsh environments and constitutes an alternative cash crop for smallholders in developing ...

An Alternative Possibility for Seed Coat Color Determinaton in Mendel's Experiment [PDF]

Genetics, 2004
IT is possible that in his test of the hypothesis of independence among three genes influencing seed characters of pea (cotyledon color and shape and flower or seed color) Mendel relied on partial dominance of seed color to classify heterozygotes as well as homozygotes in his cross.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Representation of Seed Coat Color of Azuki Bean by Using XYZ Color System

Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 2003
和菓子のあん原料に使われるアズキは, 見た目の色が食味とともに重要視されるため, 品質の重要な特性として種皮色の研究が行われてきた. 本研究では, 種皮色を色相, 明度および彩度で示すことができるXYZ表色系について検討した. 供試したエリモショウズの未熟から成熟までの種子および完熟した種子の種皮色には肉眼で著しい色の違いがみられた. 色相を表す主波長は539.8 (未成熟)∼616.0nm (完熟·濃色) に変異した. 完熟種子において, 明度を表すY値は17.01 (淡色)∼8.92 (濃色), 彩度を表す刺激純度は41.4 (淡色)∼19.8% (濃色) と濃色になるほど値が低下した.

Metabolomic Profiling of Five Hulless Barley with Different Seed Coat Colors [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Colored hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a high-quality germplasm resource that is rich in nutrients, such as protein, β-glucan, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins, microelements, and dietary fiber. However, a systematic evaluation of the metabolites present in colored cultivars is lacking.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
