The spinach YY genome reveals sex chromosome evolution, domestication, and introgression history of the species

Genome Biology, 2022
Background Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a dioecious species with an XY sex chromosome system, but its Y chromosome has not been fully characterized. Our knowledge about the history of its domestication and improvement remains limited. Results A high-

Effect of zinc nanoparticles seed priming and foliar application on the growth and physio-biochemical indices of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) under salt stress

PLoS ONE, 2022
Salt stress is the major risk to the seed germination and plant growth via affecting physiological and biochemical activities in plants. Zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) are emerged as a key agent in regulating the tolerance mechanism in plants under ...

Integration of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and vegetables (Amaranthus hybridus and Brassica rapa pekinensis) for improved production, water use efficiency and nutrient recycling

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 493-506, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Sustainable agriculture intensification is an urgent challenge in developing countries including Tanzania. One potential solution is to adopt farming systems that increase farm production by optimizing resource use efficiency, and integrated aquaculture system, which involves farming of fish and crops, is an example of such systems. This study

Dichroism in spinach chloroplasts [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1967
Abstract In spinach chloroplasts oriented at steel-water interfaces parallel to the light beam a distinct dichroism is measured at about 680 nm. This dichroism is minimal upon addition of sucrose up to a final concentration of 0.18 M to the medium, the dichroic ratio amounting to 1.02. It is concluded that predominantly the Ca 680 chlorophyll type is

The Role of Cytochrome P450 AbyV in the Final Stages of Abyssomicin C Biosynthesis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 62, Issue 3, January 16, 2023., 2023
The cytochrome P450 enzyme AbyV catalyses a key epoxidation in the final stages of the biosynthesis of the spirotetronate antibiotic abyssomicin C. Combining structural and computational data with a 13C labelling strategy was found to be a powerful approach to interrogate the biotransformation and determine the precise function of the enzyme.
