Such a test system allowed the assessment of the effect of plant metabolites on both M. nivale gene expression and its extracellular enzymatic activities (the well-known virulence factors of phytopathogens) and thus enabled the comparison of the results of transcriptomic and biochemical analyses. ...
In adult males, direct inhibition of CYP4PC1 expression by doublesexM binding in gene promoter and lack of the gonadotropic hormone JH prevent CSP production, thus avoiding male–male attraction. By manipulating the upstream regulators, we show that wild-type males prefer to court cockroaches ...
Firstly, CG can create refuges for species currently extinct in the wild (e.g., Franklinia alatamaha; Maunder et al., 1998). Secondly, even if the native habitat has vanished, suitable conditions may still exist elsewhere or be created through human activities in the form of neo-habitats...
AmaranthusL. is a diverse genus consisting of domesticated, weedy, and non-invasive species distributed around the world. Nine species are dioecious, of whichAmaranthus palmeriS. Watson andAmaranthus tuberculatus(Moq.) J.D. Sauer are troublesome weeds of agronomic crops in the USA and elsewhere. ...
(AMNH; Additional File2: Table S3) were used for geometric morphometric analysis. Embryos housed in the AMNH were typically extracted from pregnant females that had been captured in the wild by previous investigators, fixed in formalin and/or 70% alcohol, and kept in 70% ethanol at room ...
Peer Review reports Background Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, which belongs to the Araliaceae, is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for several thousands of years. Particularly in China, Korea, and Japan [1]. Ginseng produces several bioactive compounds that are beneficial...
Sea snakes underwent a complete transition from land to sea within the last ~ 15 million years, yet they remain a conspicuous gap in molecular studies of marine adaptation in vertebrates. Here, we generate four new annotated sea snake genomes, thre
Peer Review reports Introduction Pleuronectiforms represent a fish order of significant biological interest due to their adaptations to demersal life and their remarkable metamorphosis, transitioning from bilateral pelagic larval symmetry to flatfish symmetry in adulthood [1,2]. This order comprises of a...
Since there is no consistent alteration of structural and mechanical properties of the two constitutive lines compared to the wild type and even the significant differences are in a range of common variability between biological replicates, we conclude that deposition of callose in the cell walls ...
2). The most striking phenotype observed is that the ABmut Gabija complex is much more active in degrading linear DNA than the wild-type protein (Supplementary Fig. 7g). This result further revealed that the ATPase activity of GajB is related to the substrate selectivity of the Gabija ...
