Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is necessary to maintain lipid homeostasis and retinal function

This study shows that RPE-specific MTP is essential for maintaining retinal lipid homeostasis and visual function, but not for plasma lipoprotein metabolism.

Transcriptomic changes predict metabolic alterations in LC3 associated phagocytosis in aged mice

The paper identifies transcriptomic changes in retinal pigment epithelial cells of aged mice lacking LC3b, linking them to metabolic dysregulation and inflammation.

Identification of root rot resistance QTLs in pea using Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi-responsive differentially expressed genes

This study identifies QTLs associated with resistance to Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi in pea using SNPs from differentially expressed genes, finding one major QTL on chromosome V and four additional QTLs.

Characterization of ethylene-inducible pedicel-fruit abscission zone formation in non-climacteric sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.)

This study identifies genetic factors influencing pedicel-fruit abscission zone formation in sweet cherry cultivars through transcriptome and variant analysis.

Variability in Fruit Yield and Quality of Genetically Diverse Tomato Cultivars in Response to Different Biochars

This study evaluates how six different biochars affect the yield and quality of three genetically diverse tomato cultivars, finding that plant genetic background significantly influences biochar's impact on crop productivity.

Identification of Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (Fsp) responsive genes in Pisum sativum

This study identifies Fsp-responsive genes in pea by comparing gene expression in tolerant and susceptible genotypes, finding overexpression of specific pathways in susceptible plants.

Genome-Scale Characterization of Predicted Plastid-Targeted Proteomes in Higher Plants

The paper develops a bioinformatics workflow to characterize plastid-targeted proteomes across 15 plant genomes, identifying conserved and species-specific targeting patterns.

Glyoxylic acid overcomes 1-MCP-induced blockage of fruit ripening in Pyrus communis L. var. DAnjou

This study shows that glyoxylic acid can overcome 1-MCP-induced ripening blockage in DAnjou pears by activating the glyoxylate cycle and promoting ripening-related metabolic pathways.

Evidence for the Involvement of Vernalization-related Genes in the Regulation of Cold-induced Ripening in 'D'Anjou' and 'Bartlett' Pear Fruit

This study identifies cold-induced vernalization-related genes involved in ripening of two pear cultivars using time-course transcriptomics.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans LtxA hijacks endocytic trafficking pathways in human lymphocytes

This study investigates how LtxA from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans enters and traffics within human lymphocytes, revealing its reliance on dynamin-dependent, clathrin-independent pathways and Rab5-mediated endocytic trafficking.

Evidence for pre-climacteric activation of AOX transcription during cold-induced conditioning to ripen in European pear (Pyrus communis L.)

The paper investigates cold-induced ripening in European pears, finding that AOX transcript abundance increases pre-climacterically, suggesting a novel role in ripening competency.

Concomitant phytonutrient and transcriptome analysis of mature fruit and leaf tissues of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Oregon Spring) grown using organic and conventional fertilizer

The paper compares phytonutrient and transcriptome profiles of tomato tissues under organic and conventional fertilizers, finding differential gene expression and metabolic shifts in organic conditions.

Peroxisome turnover and diurnal modulation of antioxidant activity in retinal pigment epithelia utilizes microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B

The paper investigates peroxisome activity and turnover in RPE cells, finding that catalase activity peaks in the morning and is regulated by LC3B, which affects autophagic organelle turnover.

Human Cytomegalovirus Genomes Sequenced Directly from Clinical Material: Variation, Multiple-Strain Infection, Recombination and Mutation

The paper sequences HCMV genomes from clinical samples to study variation, multiple-strain infection, recombination, and mutation, finding that recombinant strains and pseudogenes can persist and cause congenital infections.
