Comparative Transcriptome Profiles of Near-Isogenic Hexaploid Wheat Lines Differing for Effective Alleles at the 2DL FHB Resistance QTL

Fusarium head blight Throw Blanket (FHB), caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, represents one of the major wheat diseases worldwide, determining severe yield losses and reduction of grain quality due to the accumulation of mycotoxins.The molecular response associated with the wheat 2DL FHB resistance QTL was mined through a comprehensive tran

Plasma levels of adhesion molecules are elevated in dermatomyositis-interstitial lung disease and associated with low paraoxonase-1 activity

Abstract Objective To evaluate circulating levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and DM associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in plasma samples from DM patients and matched healthy controls.Plasm

Nodule inception directly targets NF-Y subunit genes to regulate essential processes of root nodule development in Lotus japonicus.

The interactions of legumes with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria cause the formation of specialized lateral root organs called root nodules.It has been postulated that this root nodule Medical Treatments symbiosis system has recruited factors that act in early signaling pathways (common SYM genes) partly from the ancestral mycorrhizal symbiosis.
