Sweet potatoIpomoea batatas(L.) Lam. is an important root and tuber crop worldwide, which produces a large amount of starch, carbohydrates, and other nutrients. It is well established as a crucial staple crop an
The initial understanding of JAK/STAT pathways envisioned them as intracellular signaling mechanisms mediating cytokine actions in mammals, specifically regulating signal transduction and transcriptional activation. Existing studies on the JAK/STAT pathway demonstrate its regulation of downstream signaling in ...
Lignin biosynthesis is evolutionarily conserved among higher plants and features a critical 3-hydroxylation reaction involving phenolic esters. However, increasing evidence questions the involvement of a single pathway to lignin formation in vascular plants. Here we describe an enzyme catalyzing the direct ...
Whiteflies were allowed to feed on a diet containing antibody against Rab5 or pre-immune serum for 24 h, and then they were provided a 48 h AAP on detached leaves from TYLCV infected tomato plants. After the virus acquisition, the quantity of virus in the whitefly whole body (A), midgut...
muricata and some other plants are decocted into a mixture and used in bath for pregnant mothers prior to birth [33]. In Indonesia, the Caribbean islands [34] and South Pacific countries, the leaves are used in bath to treat skin ailments; while in Mauritius [35], New Guinea [36] and...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, posing a serious public health challenge that necessitates the development of new therapeutics, therapies, and prevention methods. Among the various therapeutic approaches, interventi
To complete their life cycle, trypanosomatids survive to environmental changes in different hosts, including oxidative stress. A paradoxal role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been proposed, such as signaling as a proliferation regulator or even presenting cytotoxic activity, depending on the ...
Increased demands for agricultural output per unit of land area must be met in a way that encourages improved efficiency and better stewardship of natural resources, including phosphate rock. Modern crops remove between 5 and 35 kg P/ha, with P removal..
Plays an important role in purine metabolism and in adenosine homeostasis. Modulates signaling by extracellular adenosine, and so contributes indirectly to cellular signaling events. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding DPP4. Its interaction with DPP4 regulates lymphocyte-...
Impaired electron flux in the ETC therefore affects both upstream and downstream processes such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondrial ATP production, respectively. In consequence, ETC deficiencies are the underlying cause of a large number of severe metabolic disorders [1, 2], which ...
