Deep amelioration of compaction and acidity doubled the water use efficiency of cereal crops on a sandy soil in a long-term experiment in a water-limited environment

Geoderma
The co-occurrence of subsoil compaction and acidity commonly decreases the yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of agricultural crops around the world, yet the benefits of the complete amelioration of these constraints on yield and WUE remain unclear. We

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Assessment of Simple Engineering Approaches and Poultry Manure for Soil Erosion Control Under Maize Cultivation in the Tropics

Air, Soil and Water Research
Monitoring soil erosion is crucial for soil conservation policies, especially in tropical regions that are prone to water erosion. A 2-year field study was conducted to assess the impact of simple engineering approaches and poultry manure application on ...

Biotechnology and bioeconomy of complex traits in crop plants

BioTechnologia, 2017
Most important crop productivity traits, such as yield under normal and environmental stress conditions, are determined by a large number of genes, each with a small phenotypic effect.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Functional Characterisation of NF-YCs in True Leaf Biomass Accumulation

Plants
Leaf biomass accumulation is a critical determinant of photosynthetic capacity and crop productivity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, multiple hormonal and environmental pathways, including brassinosteroid (BR), auxin and light signaling, as well as functional ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
