Acrylamide is a carcinogenic compound formed during high-temperature processing of carbohydrate-rich foods such as potato chips and fries, primarily through the Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and the amino acid asparagine. Tradit...
Phosphoglucose isomerase is important for carbon distribution over central carbon metabolic pathways in cyanobacteria [0.03%]
Ravi Shankar Ojha,Lu Shen,Christopher Bräsen et al.
Ravi Shankar Ojha et al.
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyzes the reversible interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), classically considered a non-regulatory step in the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway for glycolysis and glucon...
Salicylic acid contributes to plant defense against a necrotroph: evidence from a transgenic NahG-expressing strain in Botrytis cinerea [0.03%]
Gustavo Hoppe,Antonia Donaire-Guerra,Daniela López-Leiva et al.
Gustavo Hoppe et al.
Botrytis cinerea is a plant pathogen that causes significant agricultural losses worldwide. Although this necrotroph disrupts extensive plant hormonal networks, the role of salicylic acid (SA) in plant defense against B. cinerea remains con...
Comparisons of physiology, metabolism, and gene expression of distinct Leymus chinensis germplasms under elevated CO2 [0.03%]
Na Liu,Bin Li,Guohua Ren et al.
Na Liu et al.
As the atmospheric CO2 concentration continues to rise, understanding the response mechanisms of key species in grasslands is crucial for predicting ecosystem feedbacks. Leymus chinensis, as the dominant species in Eurasian grasslands, the ...
Supplemental blue light and vapour pressure deficit modulate antioxidant metabolism in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) [0.03%]
Mark Melchior,Jan H van den Berg,Mireille Sthijns et al.
Mark Melchior et al.
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a leafy vegetable rich in antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin B2 and carotenoids. These compounds are important for plant performance but also for human health upon consumption. In plants, ...
Overexpression of SbEPF12 enhances Arabidopsis drought tolerance by improving scavenging ability of reactive oxygen species and decreasing stomatal density [0.03%]
Zhiyin Jiao,Guomeng Yuan,Yannan Shi et al.
Zhiyin Jiao et al.
Drought tolerance, which impacts the crop yield under the drought stress, is responsible to significant yield loss globally in the face of climate change. The EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR (EPF) peptides family has been suggested to have a pi...
Insights into seed storage protein mobilization: biochemical and biophysical characterization of stable β-vignin breakdown intermediates during Vigna unguiculata germination [0.03%]
Lorenzo Periccioli,Francesca Saitta,Stefano De Benedetti et al.
Lorenzo Periccioli et al.
β-vignin is the main storage protein in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata, Walp) seeds. Similar to other vicilins, differently glycosylated isoforms organize in trimers whose oligomerization is influenced by salt concentration and pH. It was previ...
Volatile blends from MeSA-treated soybean plants modulate drought responses in neighboring receivers: evidence for volatile-mediated infopriming [0.03%]
Simone Ribeiro Lucho,Douglas Antônio Posso,Ludmilla Bezerra de Almeida et al.
Simone Ribeiro Lucho et al.
Drought stress triggers complex biochemical and physiological adjustments in plants, including the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can influence neighboring individuals. Here we show that such volatiles, particularly those...
