N-acetylaspartate (NAA) is one of the most prevalent compounds in the mammalian nervous system. As such, NAA largely contributes to the major peak on water-suppressed proton magnetic resonance spectra. Highly specific antibodies to NAA demonstrate that this compound is discretely localized in a substantial number of neurons throughout the extent of the rat CNS. N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) is a structurally related neuronal dipeptide which is less widely distributed than NAA. NAAG and NAA immunoreactivities were extensively colocalized in many brainstem areas, where NAAG containing neurons were more numerous than in forebrain structures.

Excessive accumulation of auxin inhibits protocorm development during germination of Paphiopedilum spicerianum.

Plant Cell Rep

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Botany, South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, 510650, China.

Excessive auxin accumulation inhibits protocorm development during germination of Paphiopedilum spicerianum, delaying shoot meristem formation by downregulating boundary genes (CUC1, CUC2, CLV3) and promoting fungal colonization, essential for seedling establishment. Paphiopedilum, possess high horticultural and conservational value. Asymbiotic germination is a common propagation method, but high rates of protocorm developmental arrest hinder seedling establishment.

Background: Geraniums (Pelargonium) are among the most popular flowers worldwide. Viral infection is one of the main problems of the genus Pelargonium, and the production of virus-free mother plants is necessary for large-scale geranium propagation and exchange. Meristem culture and thermotherapy are two effective procedures that have been widely adopted to produce healthy virus-free plant stocks.
