Comparison of the transcriptomic analysis between two Chinese white pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) genotypes of different stone cells contents. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Stone cell content is thought to be one of the key determinants for fruit quality in pears. However, the molecular mechanism of stone cell development remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that the stone cell clusters (SCCs) distribution and

Does Regulated Deficit Irrigation Affect Pear Fruit Texture by Modifying the Stone Cells?

Plants, 2023
Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies aim to improve water usage without reducing yield. Generally, irrigation strategy effectiveness is measured as fruit yield, with little consideration of fruit quality.

Molecular Characterization, Evolution, and Expression Profiling of the Dirigent (DIR) Family Genes in Chinese White Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Stone cells content and size are the key factors determining the internal quality of the pear fruit. Synthesis of lignin and thickening of secondary cell wall are the keys to the development of stone cells. The polymerization of monolignols and secondary

A systems genetics approach reveals PbrNSC as a regulator of lignin and cellulose biosynthesis in stone cells of pear fruit

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Stone cells in fruits of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) negatively influence fruit quality because their lignified cell walls impart a coarse and granular texture to the fruit flesh.

Plectus - a stepping stone in embryonic cell lineage evolution of nematodes [PDF]

EvoDevo, 2012
AbstractBackgroundRecent studies have challenged the widespread view that the pattern of embryogenesis found inCaenorhabditis elegans(clade 9) is characteristic of nematodes in general. To understand this still largely unexplored landscape of developmental events, we set out to examine more distantly related nematodes in detail for temporospatial ...

Removal of Stone Cells From Guava Nectar

The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico, 2022
Several methods have been investigated for reducing the grittiness of guava nectar caused by the presence of stone cells. Of the several methods tried, which included nitration, centrifugation, cyclone separation, and particle-size reduction using a colloid mill and a stone mill, centrifugation and treatment in the stone mill proved to be the best ...

Sludge, stones and sickle cell anaemia

Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2002
A total of ninety-seven paediatric and adult patients with sickle cell anaemia and fourty-eight control subjects were investigated with the aim of determining the content of the gallbladder. The patients and control subjects were categorised according to the presence or otherwise of gallbladder stones, and, or sludge.

Stone Morphology Distinguishes Two Pathways of Idiopathic Calcium Oxalate Stone Pathogenesis

, 2022
Introduction: About 1 in 11 Americans will experience a kidney stone, but underlying causes remain obscure. The objective of the present study was to separate idiopathic calcium oxalate stone formers by whether or not they showed positive evidence of ...

In Silico Genome-Wide Analysis of the Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) KNOX Family and the Functional Characterization of PbKNOX1, an Arabidopsis BREVIPEDICELLUS Orthologue Gene, Involved in Cell Wall and Lignin Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Stone cells are a characteristic trait of pear fruit, but the contents and sizes of stone cells negatively correlate with fruit texture and flavor.

A spatially anchored transcriptomic atlas of the human kidney papilla identifies significant immune injury in patients with stone disease

Nature Communications, 2023
Kidney stone disease causes significant morbidity and increases health care utilization. In this work, we decipher the cellular and molecular niche of the human renal papilla in patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone disease and healthy subjects.
