Individuals vary widely in their drug responses, which can be dangerous and expensive due to treatment delays and adverse effects. Growing evidence implicates the gut microbiome in this variability, however the molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. We measured the ability of 76 diverse hum...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent challenges in public health, and the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drives its widespread global dissemination. Although integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) outnumber...
Free asparagine content is a key factor in acrylamide formation in wheat derivatives after high temperature processing. Therefore, the control of free asparagine levels is of interest in crop and food sciences. Our study aims to explore the natural variation in durum wheat to identify candidate g...
The European black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) is a conifer of high economic and ecological importance, and a potential alternative to several forest tree species in Central Europe in response to global climate warming. Unfortunately, the fungus Diplodia sapinea (Fr.) Fuckel is causing severe...
Background: Sex and genetic background have an impact on Parkinson’s disease (PD) insurgence, but the comprehension of how these factors affect the circulating profile of PD patients is still an aim of study.
Objectives: In this study we aimed to investigate whether genetic background and ...
Introduction: Muscle growth and development in Liaoning cashmere goats (a dual-purpose breed for cashmere and meat) and its regulation by intestinal flora are key to improving meat production, yet relevant molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Objectives: To reveal the molecular mechanism ...
Grapes are one of the major fruit crops and they are cultivated in many dry environments. This study comprehensively characterizes the metabolic response of grape berries exposed to water deficit at different developmental stages. Increases of proline, branched-chain amino acids, phenylpropanoids...
