Article Synopsis
- The study identifies 15 carotenoid cleavage oxygenase (CcCO) genes in litchi, categorizing them into six distinct subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis.
- It predicts that these genes are involved in various plant processes, such as peel coloration, fruit flavor, flower control, and postharvest storage, with miRNA target sites found in most of them.
- The findings contribute new insights into the structure and potential functionalities of LcCCO genes, aiming to support litchi quality improvement and breeding efforts.
Article Synopsis
- The B3 superfamily consists of large transcription factors in plants that influence growth and flowering, yet their role in ethylene-induced flowering in pineapple hasn't been previously studied.
- Researchers identified 57 B3 genes in pineapples, classified them into five subfamilies, and found that most were located on 21 linkage groups with evidence of segmental duplication in their evolution.
- Analysis showed that many B3 genes respond to hormones and stress, with 35 of them being up-regulated after ethylene treatment, suggesting their involvement in the flowering process.
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are an important index for the diagnosis and long-term control of diabetes. This study is the first to use a direct and label-free photoelectric biosensor to determine HbA1c using bacteriorhodopsin-embedded purple membranes (PM) as a transducer. A biotinylated PM (b-PM) coated electrode that is layered with protein A-oriented antibodies against hemoglobin (Hb) readily captures non-glycated Hb (HbA0) and generates less photocurrent.
