A transformative study has pinpointed the CpMYB62 transcription factor as a key determinant in the sex differentiation of Cucurbita pepo flowers. This gene mutation, which impedes the female floral transition, may be partially reversed by ethylene, indicating its critical role in ethylene-mediated sex determination pathways.
A pivotal study has identified AcMYB266 as a crucial transcription factor that governs the red coloration in pineapple peels, a genetically complex trait. This discovery is set to revolutionize pineapple breeding, offering a pathway to enhance fruit quality and appearance by manipulating anthocyanin levels, thereby unlocking both commercial and nutritional potentials.
A pioneering study has meticulously pieced together the high-quality genome sequence of the Amur grape, Vitis amurensis, unveiling its evolutionary journey and the genetic secrets behind its exceptional cold tolerance.
A pivotal study has shed light on the genetic factors that govern the ability of highbush blueberries to regenerate from shoots, a critical process for plant breeding and genetic engineering. By comparing the transcriptomes of two genotypes with contrasting regeneration rates, researchers identified key auxin-related genes and transcription factors crucial to this process.
The risk of long COVID has declined over the course of the pandemic, although it remains a persistent threat. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis identified vaccination as a primary factor in reducing the risk of long COVID.
Polyphenols are generally toxic to microorganisms. In peatlands, scientists thought microorganisms avoided this toxicity by degrading polyphenols using an oxygen-dependent enzyme, and thus that low-oxygen conditions inhibit microbes’ carbon cycling.
Insurance coverage, ethnicity and location may all play a role in a person’s ability to receive care after a stroke, according to a study published in the July 17, 2024, online issue of Neurology® Clinical Practice, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
For people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study has found that the drug ofatumumab is more effective than teriflunomide at helping people across racial and ethnic groups reach a period of no disease activity. The study is published in the July 17, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Women with endometriosis are four times more likely to develop ovarian cancer, and those with more severe cases are at an even greater risk.
Two studies from Michigan Medicine may provide hope for patients with irritable bowel syndrome struggling to implement the traditional low-FODMAP diet.
