Article on the features of the hmg 1 subfamily of genes encoding HMG-CoA reductase in potato.

Article on a functional genomics approach to (iso)flavonoid glycosylation in the model legume Medicago truncatula.

Article on N-acylethanolamine signaling in tobacco is mediated by a membrane-associated, high-affinity binding protein.

Article on O-methylation of benzaldehyde derivatives by "lignin specific" caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase.

Article investigating exposure to traffic-generated emissions and the potential to alter lung microbiota and immune defenses. Results show that the combined effects of ME and HF diet result in decreased immune surveillance and lung bacterial dysbiosis, which is of significance in lung diseases.

This article reports a comprehensive characterization of the Nitrate Transporter 1/Peptide Transporter Family (NPF) in diatoms, diNPFs.

This article shows that that the coordinated read-write activity of the epigenetic machinery extends to the cytoskeleton, with PBRM1 in the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex reading microtubule methyl marks written by the SETD2 histone methyltransferase. This article opens a previously unknown window into how chromatin remodeler defects can drive disease via both epigenetic and cytoskeletal dysfunction.

Article testing the tradeoff between protein and oil storage in oilseed crops by analyzing the effect of suppressing key genes encoding protein storage products (napin and cruciferin). This study provides mechanistic insights into the intriguing link between lipid and protein storage, which have implications for biotechnological strategies directed at improving oilseed crops.

The authors address the editor in their article, stating that the majority of the general population, particularly, servicemen and women deployed across the globe are exposed to various airborne hazards, including diesel exhaust particulate (DEP) and desert sand dust (DSD). Studies, including the author's study, have shown that exposure to ROS-generating pro-oxidative stressors ranging from environmental carcinogens to pollutants, including cigarette smoke, produces a class of potent phospholipid mediators, Platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like agonists via oxidative cleavage of lipid membrane glycerophosphocholines (GPCs).

Article on MATE2 mediating vacuolar sequestration of flavonoid glycosides and glycoside malonates in Medicago truncatula.

Article describes how an antagonistic hemolymph-muscular system is essential for soft-bodied invertebrates. The authors analyzed the entire circulatory system of the peripatopsid Euperipatoides rowelli and claimed they discovered a surprisingly elaborate organization.
