Selection and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR gene expression studies in Candida viswanathii cultivated under different grown conditions.
J Microbiol Methods
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- Candida viswanathii produces lipases with potential applications in various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals, but research on its molecular growth processes is limited.
- The study focused on identifying suitable reference genes for RT-qPCR experiments in C. viswanathii using different carbon sources, analyzing eleven candidate genes for their expression stability.
- Results indicated that CvACT and CvRPB2 are the best reference gene pair overall, with specific pairs being optimal when carbon sources like olive oil and glucose are considered individually, aiding future gene expression studies in this species.
While an increasing number of Informal CareGivers (ICGs) are assisting their dependent loved ones with the daily living tasks and medical care, they are rarely considered in the medical devices design process. The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of ICGs impacting the use of the iHealth® Sense BP7 medical device, namely a connected wrist blood pressure monitor. For this purpose, user tests were conducted with 29 potential or actual ICGs.

- The process of floral initiation in tropical perennials, particularly in Coffea sp. L., is not well understood, especially in relation to environmental factors and florigen behavior.
- Researchers identified key flowering-related genes in coffee and found that overexpression of CaFT1 led to early flowering in Arabidopsis, indicating its role as a florigen in coffee.
- The study reveals that while CaFT1 expression is influenced by seasonal changes, temperature-responsive genes do not align with flowering, suggesting complex regulatory pathways that allow for flexible floral induction in tropical species.
Crosstalk Between Ethylene and Abscisic Acid During Changes in Soil Water Content Reveals a New Role for 1-Aminocyclopropane-1- Carboxylate in Coffee Anthesis Regulation.

Article Synopsis
- Coffee plants experience asynchronous flowering influenced by both internal and environmental factors, with anthesis occurring after rehydration following water stress.
- The study analyzed levels of hormones and enzymes associated with flowering in three coffee genotypes cultivated under field conditions, revealing increased ACC and decreased ACO activity and ethylene during re-watering.
- Results suggest that ACC may independently modulate the anthesis process in coffee, highlighting the complex interactions between hormones like ABA, ACO, and ethylene during flowering.
The projected impact of global warming on coffee production may require the heat-adapted genotypes in the next decades. To identify cellular strategies in response to warmer temperatures, we compared the effect of elevated temperature on two commercial L. genotypes exploring leaf physiology, transcriptome, and carbohydrate/protein composition.
