Isolation of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don Nuclei and Measurement of Rate of Tryptophan decarboxylase Gene Transcription Using Nuclear Run-On Transcription Assay. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
BACKGROUND:An accurate assessment of transcription 'rate' is often desired to describe the promoter activity. In plants, isolation of transcriptionally active nuclei and their subsequent use in nuclear run-on assays has been challenging and therefore ...

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Interaction Among Microbiota, Chemical Composition, and Quality Variations in Coffea arabica Across Altitudinal Gradients During Wet Processing

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fermentation significantly altered the dominant bacterial genera from Sphingomonas and Pleomorphomonas (before fermentation) to Weissella and Lactobacillus (after fermentation), while Cladosporium and Fusarium remained the dominant fungal genera. Notably, non‐volatile compounds in de‐pulping coffee beans and volatile compounds of roasted coffee beans ...
