FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We report that some menthol‐like cooling compounds, including (R)‐(‐)‐carvone, act as inhibitors of TAS2R31 and TAS2R43, which are taste receptors responsible for the intrinsic bitter aftertastes of saccharin and acesulfame K. However, there was little correlation between the intensity of the cooling sensation and the potency of bitterness inhibition ...

ACC-derived Ethylene Production, a Sensitive Test for Seed Vigor [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1994 ACC-derived ethylene production was used as an index of seed vigor of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), cabbage [Brassica oleracea (Capitata Group)], tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and sweet corn (Zea mays L.) seeds.

Structural and functional characterization of chitinase from carnivorous plant Drosera adelae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.A class I chitinase from the carnivorous plant Drosera adelae was expressed and purified using a yeast system, revealing high enzymatic activity. Structural analyses of the catalytic and chitin‐binding domains identified key tyrosine residues involved in substrate binding, offering insights into the enzyme's adaptation for insect digestion.

Seed vigor testing by low temperature germination in early rice
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2019 Taking the seeds of six early rice cultivars ‘Zhuliangyou 06’, ‘Zhuliangyou 101’, ‘Zhongzao 39’, ‘Jinzao 47’, ‘Zhongjiazao 17’ and ‘Yongxian 15’ as materials, the seed vigor of these early cultivars was determinated by the standard germination test, low temperature germination test (12 ℃, 15℃ and 18 ℃) and field emergence test.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Here, we introduced an intermittent electrical stimulation protocol mimicking the episodic nature of real‐life exercise in vitro by alternating low‐ and high‐frequency stimulation. In comparison with widely used continuous stimulation, it enhanced the rate of glucose and fatty acid oxidation, but not the myokine release.
