A region in a tissue where stem cells are maintained, includes cells that produce a short-range stem cell maintenance signal and the surrounding region where the signal is able to maintain stem cell identity. Although plants and animals use different signals to maintain stem cells, the maintenance...
An important contributor to the differences between individuals derives from their plasticity. Such plasticity is widespread in organisms from the simple to the most complex. Adaptability plasticity enables the organism to cope with a novel challenge not
Fungi have been companions of mankind for millennia. Mushrooms inspired our eating culture, and yeasts and filamentous fungi were developed into highly efficient cell factories during the last 100 years to produce many products utilized in different indu
At the organism level, this theory finds strong support in the simple observation that flowering time has a predominant effect over individual leaf area. In Arabidopsis, early- and late-flowering mutants affected in genes that control the floral transition have smaller and larger leaves, respectively...
histolytica (13) and is assumed to play a major role in oxidative stress defense mechanisms in this glutathione-deficient organism. Cysteine has also been shown to be necessary for survival, growth, elongation, and attachment to matrix (14, 15). The cysteine biosynthetic pathway could be crucial...

Understanding the basis of these interactions is crucial to control and exploit these communities for ecological and biotechnological applications. The green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a well-established model, is emerging as a model organism for studying a wide variety of microbial interactions ...
It is widely accepted that mitochondria have originated from a single endosymbiosis event, involving a proteobacteria-like organism and the common cellular ancestor of eukaryotes [61]. Yet, during the evolution, the mtDNAs have diverged considerably among different eukaryotic species. Currently, there ...
