The Role of Seed Characteristics on Water Uptake Preceding Germination

Seeds
Seed germination is a complex process involving imbibition, activation and subsequent growth. In addition to re-establishing metabolic activity, water uptake helps stabilize macromolecules and biochemical reactions, resulting in radicle protrusion ...

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: farmers' varietal perceptions, seed sources and seed management [PDF]

, 2011
A total of 206 wheat and 200 barley farmers were interviewed in northeastern Syria to understand farmer perceptions and practice relating to modern varieties, seed sources and seed quality. Wheat farmers had better awareness and grew modern varieties (87%

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Preliminar evaluation of performance in topcrosses between vegetable type and grain type soybean

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2000
Studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of topcrosses between food type soybean (with tendency to low physiological quality of the seeds) with two adapted grain type, seeking to associate adequate human food characteristics with adaptability ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Construction of a high-density adzuki bean genetic map and evaluation of its utility based on a QTL analysis of seed size

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi) is an annual cultivated leguminous crop commonly grown in Asia and consumed worldwide. However, there has been limited research regarding adzuki bean genetics, which has prevented the efficient ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Zinc finger CCHC-type protein related with seed size in model legume species Medicago truncatula

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Legumes are one of the world's leading sources of nutrition, providing sustainable agriculture. They require minimal amounts of soil improvers (fertilizers) due to the ability to absorb nitrogen through symbiotic interactions with nitrogen-fixing soil ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.
