This is an addendum to our recent paper published in The Plant Journal (52:352-61). The major findings were: (1) trichomes on the leaves of gl3-sst sim double mutants developed as large multi-cellular clusters whereas wild type trichomes are composed of single cells; (2) ectopic CYCD3;1 expression in gl3-sst trichomes also resulted in trichome cluster formation; and (3) that GL1 expression is prolonged in the gl3-sst sim trichome clusters. This addendum shows that ectopic CYCD3;1 expression in gl3-sst also enhanced GL1 expression. An analysis of the GL1 promoter found two overlapping potential E2F binding sites in a region of the promoter known to be essential for GL1 function. This finding indicates that GL1 may be directly regulated by the activity of a CYCD3/CDKA complex that phosphorylates E2F-RB bound to the GL1 promoter.

Leaf senescence is a major concern for postharvest leafy vegetables, as leaves are highly prone to yellowing and nutrient loss, resulting in reduced commercial value and limited shelf-life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-cysteine (L-cys) on postharvest Chinese flowering cabbage stored at 20 °C. The results showed that 0.

Aquatic Contaminants Research Division, Environment and Climate Change Canada, 105 McGill, Montréal, QC H2Y 2E7, Canada.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are considered as emerging contaminants due to their use in the fabrication process of current technologies. As such, their aquatic toxicity, especially as a mixture, is not well understood, as it has been scarcely investigated. The purpose of this study was to shed light on the sublethal and lethal toxicity of a realistic mixture of five REE in .

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) significantly damage biological systems related to reproductive, neurological, and metabolic functions. Approximately 1000 chemicals are known to possess endocrine-acting properties, including bisphenol A (BPA) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). This study primarily focuses on the potential effects of EDCs on the transcriptional levels of innate immune prophenoloxidase (proPO) system-related genes under oxidative stress in the gonads and stomach of the mud crab , an indicator species for assessing coastal benthic environments, when exposed to 1 µg L, 10 µg L, and 30 µg L BPA or DEHP.

Article Synopsis
  • HFpEF makes up about 50% of heart failure cases globally, increasing due to longer lifespans and more health issues.
  • Wnt signaling is linked to heart problems like cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis, and PORCN inhibitors (like Wnt-c59) show promise in improving heart function.
  • In a study, Wnt-c59 reduced adverse heart changes and improved heart function in mice with HFpEF, even though Wnt signaling itself wasn't activated in their hearts.
