Evolutionary dynamics in large asexual populations is strongly influenced by multiple
competing beneficial lineages, most of which segregate at very low frequencies. However, …

Seeds are an essential food source, providing nutrients for germination and early seedling
growth. Degradation events in the seed and the mother plant accompany seed development, …

The SIRT6 deacetylase has been implicated in DNA repair, telomere maintenance, glucose
and lipid metabolism and, importantly, it has critical roles in the brain ranging from its …

Interactions between metabolites and proteins play an integral role in all cellular functions.
Here we describe an affinity purification (AP) approach in combination with LC/MS-based …

Plant lipids are important as alternative sources of carbon and energy when sugars or starch

The epidermal cells of petunia (Petunia × hybrida) flowers are the main site of volatile emission.
However, the mechanisms underlying the release of volatiles into the environment are …

Arabidopsis sepals coordinate flower opening in the morning as ambient temperature rises;
however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Mutation of one heat …

Social wasps exhibit a unique nutritional cycle in which adults feed larvae with prey, and larvae
provide adults with larval secretions (LS). LS serves as a vital nutritional source for adults…

Despite several decades of research, a prawn cell line is still not available, and the optimal
conditions for successful crustacean in vitro cell cultures are yet to be established. In general, …
