Enhanced seedling growth by 3--pentadecylphenolethanolamide is mediated by fatty acid amide hydrolases in upland cotton ( L.).

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a conserved amidase that is known to modulate the levels of endogenous -acylethanolamines (NAEs) in both plants and animals. The activity of FAAH is enhanced by synthetic phenoxyacylethanolamides resulting in greater hydrolysis of NAEs. Previously, 3--pentadecylphenolethanolamide (PDP-EA) was shown to exert positive effects on the development of Arabidopsis seedlings by enhancing Arabidopsis FAAH (AtFAAH) activity.

Prostasin and hepatocyte growth factor B in factor VIIa generation: Serine protease knockdowns in zebrafish.

Background: Blood clotting in humans is initiated by the binding of tissue factor to activated coagulation factor VII (FVIIa) in the plasma. Previous studies have reported that hepsin and factor VII (FVII)-activating protease are responsible for generating FVIIa.

Objectives: We aimed to identify other proteases that may activate FVII using zebrafish as a model.

Lipophilic signals lead to organ-specific gene expression changes in seedlings.

In plants, -acylethanolamines (NAEs) are most abundant in desiccated seeds and their levels decline during germination and early seedling establishment. However, endogenous NAE levels rise in seedlings when ABA or environmental stress is applied, and this results in an inhibition of further seedling development. When the most abundant, polyunsaturated NAEs of linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) were exogenously applied, seedling development was affected in an organ-specific manner.
