Breaking the soil barrier: Somatic embryogenesis and polyploidization enable high-yield saponin in Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen is a highly valuable medicinal plant. The saponins abundant in its roots and rhizomes are effective in medicine, health products, and skincare. However, its planting faces severe continuous-cropping obstacles, high soil-

Use made of wild legume relatives in breeding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Presently vast genetic resources are available for improvement of the main crops used by humans and animals. The ex-situ collections safeguard those resources collected in the past, although not all collections are safe even today as far as personnel and

Ecological risk assessment of genetically modified strawberries : the hybridization potential between cultivated and wild strawberries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Natural hybridization is a widespread phenomenon in many plant and animal species complexes and has been acknowledged as an important evolutionary process that can lead to new evolutionary lineages.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Genetic Diversity and Utilization of Cultivated Eggplant Germplasm in Varietal Improvement

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Eggplant is the fifth economically most important vegetable in the Solanaceae family after tomato, potato, chili, and tobacco. Apart from the well-cultivated brinjal or aubergine eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), two other underutilized eggplant species ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of herbaceous bamboo species Lithachne pauciflora

open access: yesScientific Data
Lithachne pauciflora is a herbaceous bamboo species characterized by its short height, low degree of lignification, and dimorphic florets, making it a special model for studying the key trait evolution in bamboo.

Dispersed repeats and inverted repeat expansion drive major plastomic rearrangements in Calliandra haematocephala (Leguminosae: Mimoseae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Structural variations in legume plastomes impact phylogenetic and evolutionary studies. In this study, we focus on the tribe Mimoseae by integrating a newly assembled plastome of Calliandra haematocephala (from PacBio sequencing data) with 15 previously ...

Endosperm and starch granule morphology in wild cereal relatives

open access: yes, 2008
Australia\u27s native grass species contain a diverse array of wild cereal relatives which are adapted to a broader range of environmental conditions than current commercial cereals and may contain novel alleles which have utility in commercial ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
