Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Histone H3K79 methyltransferase Dot1L is directly activated by thyroid hormone receptor during Xenopus metamorphosis

Cell & Bioscience, 2012
Background Thyroid hormone (T3) is important for adult organ function and vertebrate development. Amphibian metamorphosis is totally dependent on T3 and offers a unique opportunity to study how T3 controls postembryonic development in vertebrates ...

The Dual‐Function of CtrNAC019‐CtrNPF2.1 Module in Salt Tolerance and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Via Enhancing Vacuolar Chloride Sequestration and Nitrate Efflux in Citrus trifoliata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt stress and nitrogen utilisation efficiency (NUE) represent critical constraints affecting worldwide crop productivity. While nitrate transporter proteins (NPFs) have been implicated in saline chloride (Cl−) ion transport, the mechanistic linkage between chloride stress and NUE remains poorly understood.

Xenopus laevis neural stem progenitor cells exhibit a transient metabolic shift toward glycolysis during spinal cord regeneration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe disruption of communication between the brain and body, causing motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions. While SCI in mammals leads to permanent impairment due to limited regenerative capacity, certain non ...

The CaM1‐CBP60b‐MYB77 Transcriptional Cascade Regulates K+ Homeostasis and Salt Tolerance in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that threatens global crop productivity. Calcium (Ca2+) is a pivotal second messenger in plant stress signalling, but how Ca2+ sensors such as calmodulin (CaM) transcriptionally control ion homeostasis and salt tolerance remains largely understood in crops.

MCT1‐mediated bidirectional propionate transport across human placental syncytiotrophoblast layer: insights from a trophoblast stem cell‐derived barrier model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Propionate in the fetal circulation is thought to originate from fermentation of dietary fibre by the maternal gut microbiota. However, the mechanism of transplacental transport has remained unclear. Here, we measured propionate permeability using a placental barrier model generated by differentiating human placental trophoblast ...

Divergent roles of the Wnt/PCP Formin Daam1 in renal ciliogenesis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Kidneys are composed of numerous ciliated epithelial tubules called nephrons. Each nephron functions to reabsorb nutrients and concentrate waste products into urine.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.
