Strigolactone‐mediated architecture regulation and stress resilience: Insights and innovations for crop breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery, biosynthesis, and transport of strigolactone, and the D14‐D3/MAX2‐D53/SMXLs signaling module. It highlights diverse roles of strigolactone in plant architecture, stress responses, and crop breeding, including species‐specific functions, hormonal crosstalk, and agricultural applications.

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

A huge fungal vegetation in the ascending aorta vascular graft [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2004
A 39-year-old man had Bentall’s operation and replacement of the aortic arch. However, he was readmitted with high fever 70 days after operation and MRI revealed a fungating mass in the graft (Fig. 1). He was treated by a partial resection of graft, but died of sepsis. The histologic findings were aspergillosis (Fig. 2).
