In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Moderate Nitrogen Management Enhancing Maize Lodging Resistance by Reducing Pathogen Infection and Expansion of Stalk Rot

Agronomy
At present, maize production is facing the challenge of balancing stalk lodging caused by stalk rot with maintaining a good grain yield potential. Improving the basal internode properties by optimizing nitrogen (N) management is an effective strategy to ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals the mechanism of internode development affecting maize stalk strength

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background The stalk rind is one of the important factors affecting maize stalk strength that is closely related to stalk lodging. However, the mechanism of rind development in maize is still largely unknown.

Lignin metabolism regulates lodging resistance of maize hybrids under varying planting density

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Hybrids and planting density are the main factors affecting maize lodging resistance. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of the regulation of maize lodging resistance by comparing two hybrids at various planting densities from the perspective of ...

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Integration of transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveals key lodging-resistance-related genes and metabolic pathways in maize

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Stalk lodging, or breakage of the stalk at or below the ear, is one of the vital factors causing substantial yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L). Lodging affects maize plants’ physiological and molecular processes, eventually impacting plant growth and ...

Sunflower Seeding Rate X Nitrogen Rate Trial [PDF]

, 2011
Because the majority of sunflowers in the United States are grown in the Great Plains, recommendations for plant populations and fertilization rates are limited to this specific region and climate.

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate loci or genes affecting stalk strength in maize

Crop Journal, 2023
Stalk strength increases resistance to stalk lodging, which causes maize (Zea mays L.) production losses worldwide. The genetic mechanisms regulating stalk strength remain unclear.
