Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase‐Like 1 Positively Regulates Seed Dormancy in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that enables plants to survive adverse environmental conditions. In agricultural contexts, an optimal level of dormancy is essential: Insufficient dormancy can result in preharvest sprouting, while excessive dormancy may lead to uneven germination and poor stand establishment in subsequent crops.

Differential expression of disulfide reductase enzymes in a free-living platyhelminth (Dugesia dorotocephala).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
A search of the disulfide reductase activities expressed in the adult stage of the free-living platyhelminth Dugesia dorotocephala was carried out. Using GSSG or DTNB as substrates, it was possible to obtain a purified fraction containing both GSSG and ...

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Effect of oral administration of green tea extract in various dosage schemes on oxidative stress status of mice in vivo

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica, 2015
Green tea is a favorite beverage and its extracts are popular components of dietary supplements. The aim of the present in vivo study was to obtain detailed information about the effect of a standard green tea extract (Polyphenon, P), at different doses,

OsMYB99 Modulates Grain Wax Biosynthesis and Redox Homeostasis to Control Head Rice Yield and Chalkiness

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Head rice yield (HRY) is a crucial quality trait that determines the final commodity yield and commercial value of rice. Conversely, chalkiness represents an undesirable appearance characteristic, significantly impairing rice marketability. Thus, developing rice germplasms with superior HRY and appearance traits is highly desirable for rice ...

A GmeIF2B5‐GmPRX4 Regulatory Axis Divergently Governs Drought‐Lignin and Salt‐Ion Homeostasis in Soybean

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses severely constrain soybean productivity worldwide. Here we demonstrate that gmeif2b5 (eukaryotic initiation factors) mutants confer dual stress tolerance through coordinated mechanisms. Integrative RNA‐Seq and protein interaction analyses revealed that gmeif2b5 mutants increase lignin deposition to increase drought resilience ...

Hepatocyte Hyperproliferation upon Liver-Specific Co-disruption of Thioredoxin-1, Thioredoxin Reductase-1, and Glutathione Reductase

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Energetic nutrients are oxidized to sustain high intracellular NADPH/NADP+ ratios. NADPH-dependent reduction of thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) disulfide and glutathione disulfide by thioredoxin reductase-1 (TrxR1) and glutathione reductase (Gsr), respectively ...

When rehabilitation is not enough, how targeting metabolism can overcome the limited plasticity of skeletal muscle after traumatic injury

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a category of large‐scale neuromusculoskeletal injuries that result in long‐term functional disabilities, and one such injury is volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury. In addition to the clinical outcomes related to long‐term dysfunction, co‐morbidities and reduced mobility and physical activity, this review addresses several ...
