A Multimodel Study of the Role of Novel PKC Isoforms in the DNA Integrity Checkpoint.

The protein kinase C (PKC) family plays important regulatory roles in numerous cellular processes. contains a single PKC, Pkc1, whereas in mammals, the PKC family comprises nine isoforms. Both Pkc1 and the novel isoform PKCδ are involved in the control of DNA integrity checkpoint activation, demonstrating that this mechanism is conserved from yeast to mammals.

Identification of Distinctive Primary Metabolites Influencing Broccoli (, var. ) Taste.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica Plenck) is a cruciferous crop that is considered to be a good source of micronutrients.

Distinctive Traits for Drought and Salt Stress Tolerance in Melon ( L.).

Melon ( L.) is a crop with important agronomic interest worldwide. Because of the increase of drought and salinity in many cultivation areas as a result of anthropogenic global warming, the obtention of varieties tolerant to these conditions is a major objective for agronomical improvement.

Identification of distinctive physiological and molecular responses to salt stress among tolerant and sensitive cultivars of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica).

Background: Salt stress is one of the main constraints determining crop productivity, and therefore one of the main limitations for food production. The aim of this study was to characterize the salt stress response at the physiological and molecular level of different Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var.

Physiological and Molecular Characterization of the Differential Response of Broccoli ( var. ) Cultivars Reveals Limiting Factors for Broccoli Tolerance to Drought Stress.

Broccoli is a cruciferous crop rich in health-promoting metabolites. Due to several factors, including anthropogenic global warming, aridity is increasing in many cultivation areas. There is a great demand to characterize the drought response of broccoli and use this knowledge to develop new cultivars able to maintain yield under water constraints.
