Evaluation of the Effects of Cultivar and Location on the Interaction of Lentil Seed Characteristics with Optimal Cooking Time

Seeds
The most important product of the lentil crop (Lens culinaris Medik) is the seeds. The main seed characteristics are their size, color, and the cooking time required to make them edible.

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

Comparative Metagenomic Profiling of Seed-Borne Microbiomes in a Landrace and a Hybrid Maize Variety

Seeds
The plant seed-borne microbiome comprises microorganisms vertically inherited from the mother plant. This microbiome is often linked to early-life protection and seedling growth promotion.

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Seeds vs. Seedlings: The Long-Term Success of Seeds Versus Seedlings in the Restoration of the Federally Endangered Baptisia arachnifera (Fabaceae) During Experimental Planting

Seeds
The use of seeds versus seedlings may yield different restoration trajectories depending on seed germination (=seedling emergence) success in the of restoration plantings versus seedling establishment.

Mechanism of endocarp-imposed constraints of germination of Lannea microcarpa seeds [PDF]

, 2008
Lannea microcarpa, a multipurpose tree species from the dry African savanna, sheds seeds that often display inhibition of germination. The underlying mechanism was investigated using seeds processed from fully matured fruits collected from natural stands

Indigenous Seeds, Seed Selection and Seed Bank for Sustainable Agriculture [PDF]

Grassroots Journal of Natural Resources, 2021
Indigenous seeds are grown by the farmers over the years with a strong influence from local natural factors. Such seeds have a higher level of intrapopulation variations and the capacity of buffering the adverse factors. Understanding indigenous seeds along with their diversity are useful to diversify their uses, to assess conservation status, to know ...

Effect of heavy metals on germination of seeds

Journal of Natural Science Biology and Medicine, 2013
With the expansion of the world population, the environmental pollution and toxicity by chemicals raises concern. Rapid industrialization and urbanization processes has led to the incorporation of pollutants such as pesticides, petroleum products, acids ...

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Non-Sikkim Cucumber Accessions Resistant to Downy Mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis)

Seeds
Downy mildew caused by the oomycete Pseudoperonospora cubensis is a devastating disease of cucurbits. Cucumis species are attacked by pathotype 3 (clade 2) of the pathogen, while Cucurbita species are attacked by pathotype 6 (clade 1).
