A stage-dependent seed defense response to explain efficient seed transmission of Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans to common bean.

Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed-pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

BASIC PENTACYSTEINE1 regulates by modification of two histone marks H3K27me3 and H3ac during early seed development of .

Introduction: The production of highly vigorous seeds with high longevity is an important lever to increase crop production efficiency, but its acquisition during seed maturation is strongly influenced by the growth environment.

Methods: An association rule learning approach discovered MtABI4, a known longevity regulator, as a gene with transcript levels associated with the environmentally-induced change in longevity. To understand the environmental sensitivity of transcription, Yeast One-Hybrid identified a class I BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (MtBPC1) transcription factor as a putative upstream regulator.

Prospective assessment of the quality of life and nipple sensation after gender-affirming chest surgery.

Background: In the existing literature, assessing transgender patients' quality of life after surgery, especially using standardized surveys, is rare. The nipple sensation regarding the operating technique has neither been studied in a prospective nor standardized way.

Methods: For one year, we prospectively assessed transgender patients operated on for a gender-affirming chest surgery in our unit.

Genetic Variability in Seed Longevity and Germination Traits in a Tomato MAGIC Population in Contrasting Environments.

The stable production of high vigorous seeds is pivotal to crop yield. Also, a high longevity is essential to avoid progressive loss of seed vigour during storage. Both seed traits are strongly influenced by the environment during seed development.
