Global health is increasingly challenged by the growing prevalence of obesity and its associated complications. Quercetin, one of the most important dietary flavonoids, is being explored as an effective therapy for obesity with its mechanism remains understudied. Here in this study, it is demonstrated that quercetin intervention significantly reverses obesity-related phenotypes through reshaping the overall structure of microbiota, especially boosting colonization of the beneficial gut commensal Akkermansia muciniphila (A.

Cytosine methylation (mCG) is an important heritable epigenetic modification, yet its functions remain to be fully defined in important crops. This study investigates mCG in soybean following the loss-of-function mutation of two GmMET1 genes. We generated knockout mutants of GmMET1s by CRISPR-Cas9 and conducted comprehensive methylome and transcriptome analyses.

While modifications of the privileged catalyst backbones, such as 1,1'-spirobiindane-7,7'-diol (SPINOL), have led to the development of diverse useful chiral catalysts, the incorporation of heteroarenes in such chiral spirocyclic structures has limitedly known. Herein we report the design of a type of chiral spirocyclic bisindole skeletons where the electronically distinct heteroarenes serve as direct anchor for functional sites. Separate approaches for the synthesis of two different families of such skeletons have been developed via chiral phosphoric acid and rhodium catalysis, respectively.

Our aim was to elucidate mechanisms underlying nitrogen (N)-deficiency tolerance in bread wheat (cultivar Ruta), conferred by a wild emmer wheat QTL (WEW; IL99). We hypothesised that the tolerance in IL99 is driven by enhanced N-uptake through modification of root system architecture (RSA) underscored by transcriptome modifications. Severe N-deficiency (0.

Deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues occurs spontaneously, is influenced by pH, temperature, and incubation time, and can be accelerated by adjacent amino acid residues. Incubation conditions used for proteolytic digestion in bottom-up proteomic studies can induce significant deamidation that affects results, either knowingly or unknowingly. This has prompted studies into modifications to common trypsin digestion protocols to minimize chemical deamidation, including shorter incubation times and specific lysis buffers.
