Dsg2 truncation causes a lethal barrier breakdown in mice

This study shows that a DSG2 mutation causing Dsg2 truncation leads to a lethal intestinal barrier defect and a skewed IL17 response in mice, similar to Crohn's disease.

C4-like Sesuvium sesuvioides (Aizoaceae) exhibits CAM in cotyledons and putative C4+CAM metabolism in adult leaves as revealed by transcriptome analysis

This study identifies C4-like and putative C4+CAM metabolism in Sesuvium sesuvioides through transcriptome analysis, revealing gene expression patterns and regulatory elements.

Insights into regulation of C2 and C4 photosynthesis in Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae using RNA-Seq

The paper uses RNA-Seq to compare transcriptomes of C3, C2, and C4 species in Amaranthaceae, finding distinct gene expression patterns suggesting C2 photosynthesis is an independent evolutionary stable state.

Transcriptome sequence reveals candidate genes involving in the post-harvest hardening of trifoliate yam Dioscorea dumetorum

The paper identifies candidate genes associated with post-harvest hardening in D. dumetorum tubers through transcriptome analysis and functional gene expression profiling.
