Nitrate acts as a potent signal to control global gene expression in A rabidopsis. Using an
integrative bioinformatics approach we identified TGA 1 and TGA 4 as putative regulatory …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and a major limiting factor for plant growth
and crop production. Nitrate is the main source of N available to plants in agricultural soils …

Understanding how plants sense and respond to changes in nitrogen availability is the first
step toward developing strategies for biotechnological applications, such as improvement of …

Auxin is a key phytohormone regulating central processes in plants. Although the mechanism
by which auxin triggers changes in gene expression is well understood, little is known …

The technique RT-qPCR for viral RNA detection is the current worldwide strategy used for
early detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. RNA extraction is a key pre-analytical …

The reproductive success of plants largely depends on the correct programming of
developmental phase transitions, particularly the shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. The …

Nitrate is a nutrient and a potent signal that impacts global gene expression in plants.
However, the regulatory factors controlling temporal and cell type–specific nitrate responses …

Latin Americans and Chilean Amerindians have the highest prevalence of gallstone disease
(GSD) and gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the world. A handful of loci have been associated …

Whole human genome sequencing initiatives help us understand population history and the
basis of genetic diseases. Current data mostly focuses on Old World populations, and the …

Cholesterol Gallstone Disease (GSD) is a common multifactorial disorder characterized by
crystallization and aggregation of biliary cholesterol in the gallbladder. The global prevalence …
