Article Synopsis
- Developing innovative agri-technologies like GPAW (gas plasma-activated water) is crucial for sustainable food production by helping seeds germinate more effectively.
- GPAW triggers the release of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana by interacting with various environmental signals and activating specific metabolic pathways related to gibberellin and abscisic acid.
- This technology facilitates germination by weakening seed structures directly and promoting multiple molecular pathways that allow seeds to overcome dormancy, ultimately improving seed quality.
We have identified C7orf11, which localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in fetal hair follicles, as the first disease gene for nonphotosensitive trichothiodystrophy (TTD). C7orf11 maps to chromosome 7p14, and the disease locus has been designated "TTDN1" (TTD nonphotosensitive 1). Mutations were found in patients with Amish brittle-hair syndrome and in other nonphotosensititive TTD cases with mental retardation and decreased fertility but not in patients with Sabinas syndrome or Pollitt syndrome.
