Root-based inorganic carbon uptake increases the growth of and changes transporter expression and nitrogen and sulfur metabolism.
Front Plant Sci
September 2024
Agricultural Institute, Hungarian Research Network (HUN-REN) Centre for Agricultural Research, Martonvásár, Hungary.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how plants, specifically Arabidopsis, absorb inorganic carbon (like bicarbonate) through their roots and the mechanisms involved in this process.
- It was found that the absorbed carbon is incorporated mainly into sucrose and transported to the leaves, enhancing plant growth and photosynthesis.
- The research also highlighted the role of specific transporters and signaling pathways, suggesting that these processes support the plant's nutrient assimilation and growth when inorganic carbon is available.
A morpho-phylogenetic update on ixodid ticks infesting cattle and buffalos in Vietnam, with three new species to the fauna and a checklist of all species indigenous to the country.

Department of Parasitology, National Institute of Veterinary Research, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Article Synopsis
- Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam, is a diverse habitat for ixodid ticks, yet there has been limited molecular-phylogenetic research on tick species in the region.* -
- A study collected 1788 ticks from various animals in northern Vietnam, identifying species morphologically and analyzing them using specific genetic markers, revealing key tick species prevalent in the area.* -
- Three tick species were recorded for the first time in Vietnam, increasing the country's known tick species to 62, and distinct genetic lineages were observed, indicating unique evolutionary patterns among the ticks.*
Gametocidal genes: from a discovery to the application in wheat breeding.
Front Plant Sci

Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Some wild relatives of wheat have special chromosomes called Gametocidal chromosomes that preferentially pass on to offspring, leading to the abortion of gametes without them.
- These chromosomes are classified into three types based on their severity: mild, intense, and very strong, affecting how they interact with wheat genetics.
- The review focuses on the impact of these chromosomes in wheat breeding, their mode of action, their role in gene mapping, and highlights the need for further research on why gametes with these genes remain normal while those without them do not.
