The Heterotaxy Gene CCDC11 Is Important for Cytokinesis via RhoA Regulation

Cytoskeleton, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 360-371, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Mutations in CCDC11 (cfap53) have been identified in multiple patients with heterotaxy (Htx), a disorder of left–right (LR) patterning of the internal organs. In Xenopus, depletion of Ccdc11 causes defects in LR patterning, recapitulating the patient phenotype. Upon Ccdc11 depletion, monociliated cells of the Left–Right Organizer (LRO) exhibit

Evaluation of induced polyploidy in Acacia mearnsii through stomatal counts and guard cell measurements [PDF]

, 2003
The black wattle, Acacia mearnsii, an important commercially grown tree in South Africa, is considered one of the top alien invader species within indigenous vegetation because of its abundant seed production and dispersal.

Selenium, selenoenzymes, oxidative stress and risk of neoplastic progression from Barrett's esophagus: results from biomarkers and genetic variants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Clinical trials have suggested a protective effect of selenium supplementation on the risk of esophageal cancer, which may be mediated through the antioxidant activity of selenoenzymes.

Is intermediate risk really intermediate? Comparison of karyotype and non‐invasive prenatal testing results of pregnancies at intermediate risk of trisomy 21 on maternal serum screening

Journal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the additional contribution of karyotyping compared with genome‐wide non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for pregnancies at intermediate risk for trisomy 21 (T21), calculated using the maternal serum screening without major structural anomalies detected through sonography.

The characterisation of microsatellite markers reveals tetraploidy in the Greater Water Parsnip, Sium latifolium (Apiaceae). [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The Greater Water Parsnip, Sium latifolium (Apiaceae), is a marginal aquatic perennial currently endangered in England and consequently the focus of a number of conservation translocation projects. Microsatellite markers were developed for S.

Fetal Corpus Callosum Anomalies

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 637-652, April 2025.
Anomalies of the corpus callosum (CC) are amongst the most common fetal Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies detectable on ultrasound. Underlying genetic disease plays an important part in defining prognosis. Associations with aneuploidy and submicroscopic chromosomal deletions or duplications have been well demonstrated using chromosomal microarray ...

Colchicine-Induced Polyploidy in Rhododendron fortunei Lindl

Plants, 2020
Polyploidy in Rhododendron fortunei has great potential to improve its horticultural and commercial value, and to also meet market demands. In this study, a feasible method for polyploid induction in R.

No Evidence for Distinct Transcriptomic Subgroups of Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Contagious cancers represent one of the least understood types of infections in wildlife. Devil Facial Tumor Disease (comprised of two different contagious cancers, DFT1 and DFT2) has led to an 80% decline in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii ) population at the regional level since it was first observed in 1996. There are currently no

Isolation, molecular characterisation and mapping of four rose MLO orthologues

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Powdery mildew is a major disease of economic importance in cut and pot roses. As an alternative to conventional resistance breeding strategies utilising single-dominant genes or QTLs, mildew resistance locus o (MLO)-based resistance might offer some ...

Reassessing Drought Tolerance in Citrus Tetraploid Rootstocks: Myth or Reality?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Polyploidy, particularly tetraploidy, has emerged as a promising tool in citrus rootstock breeding due to its potential to enhance drought tolerance. This review examines the role of tetraploid rootstocks in drought resilience, focusing on molecular and physiological adaptations observed in controlled environments and field conditions ...
