Stomatal optimization models posit that stomata maximize the carbon gain relative to a penalty caused by water loss, such as xylem cavitation. However, a mechanism that allows the stomata to behave optimally is unknown. Here, we introduce a model of stomatal regulation that results in similar ...
aPlants contain metal chelators and transporters that regulate metal homeostasis. The HMA3 and HMA4 genes encode proteins belonging to the PIB-type. Recently, some studies on the characterization of the HMA2 gene from several plants for potential application in phytoremediation have been reported. ...
in SSA, sorghum fields alone accounted for roughly 20 million ha, thereby causing an estimated yield loss of 6.5 to 6.9 million t per annum. Infestation by S. hermonthica begins after the release of organic stimulants (i.e., strigolactones) by the host cereal plants, inducing germination ...
MTMR14 hence functions to inhibit injurious hyperactivation of autophagy which can lead to the loss of the affected cell20–22. Defects in the autophagic process are frequently associated with the incidence of various neurodegenerative diseases, many of which remain fatal1–3,23. In parallel, an ...
In plants and bacteria, trehalose has been reported to confer tolerance to high salt stress41,42,43. Different studies have produced conflicting results regarding the resistance of extracellular vesicles to freezing. NTA and electron microscopy analysis of exosomes after one to ten freeze and thaw ...
Regulation of MMP Signalingin Paclitaxel-Treated Mice Paclitaxel is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic drugs, but it is associated with the development of CIPN symptoms, such as persistent shooting, stabbing, or burning pain, and most frequently loss of sensation or “numbness.”45 Although...

to relieve pain as described in Procyanidins (PCy) are active polyphenols found in many plants such as grape, pine bark, cocoa and raspberry. PCy exert numerous health promoting effects related to their antioxidant activity, but also to their ability to inhibit the synthesis of numer- ous ...
Similar to the previous experiments, we observed a reversible loss of fluorescent foci at the membrane and an increase in cytosolic signal at pH 4 and rebinding of the fluorescent proteins upon changing pH to 7 (Fig. 2e). The cytosolic components colocalize with the needle at the initial pH...
