Biochemical and molecular-genetic characterization of SFD1’s involvement in lipid metabolism and defense signaling

Description: Article describes study which sought to to determine if the dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reductase activity and chloroplast localization are required for the Arabidopsis thaliana SFD1 (suppressor of fatty acid desaturase deficiency1) gene’s involvement in galactolipid metabolism and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signaling.

Cardiac and metabolic physiology of early larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reflects parental swimming stamina

Description: Article describes experiment in which mature adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were subjected to a swimming performance test that allowed separation into low swimming stamina or high swimming stamina groups in order to determine if inherited traits that support enhanced swimming stamina in offspring appear only in juveniles and/or adults, or if these traits actually appear earlier in the morphologically quite different larvae.

Geminivirus-Mediated Delivery of Florigen Promotes Determinate Growth in Aerial Organs and Uncouples Flowering from Photoperiod in Cotton

Description: This article discusses geminivirus-mediated delivery of florigen. Florigen acts as a general growth hormone, advancing determinate growth. The findings extend our understanding of florigen as a general growth hormone and could benefit crop management techniques.
