Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, poses a significant zoonotic threat. This study defines the antibacterial activity and mechanism of the natural alkaloid isocorydine (ICD) against M. bovis using an integrated multi-omics approach. Phenotypic analyses demonstrated t...
BACKGROUND: Protein undernutrition is prevalent mainly among elderly people, and it could develop diseases such as sarcopenia. Urinary metabolites may become biomarkers reflecting protein undernutrition, but this has been insufficiently investigated.
OBJECTIVE:
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...
Tobacco is a significant industrial crop, serving as a model for plant science and a promising specie for the production of proteins and small molecules. However, system biology studies of tobacco under natural field cultivation conditions remain scarce. Here, we construct a genome-scale metaboli...
