The present study aims to elucidate the physiological role of plant DJ-1 homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana under various abiotic stress conditions. It seeks to provide deeper insights into the diverse functions of plant ...

Extracellular field potentials across brain regions exhibit distinct signatures that depend on several region-specific attributes, including spatiotemporal patterns of afferent inputs, anatomical and physiological properties ...

The genome in prokaryotes is restricted to a membrane-less compartment termed nucleoid. The genome is maintained in the compacted state within the nucleoid with the help of three key cellular factors viz, macromolecular ...

Named after their founding members TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, and PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs, the TCP transcription factors have been investigated for their diverse role in plant growth and development. The five ...

RNA splicing is a ubiquitous process during eukaryotic gene expression, where non-coding introns are removed from primary transcripts to form functional mRNA. This vital process is carried out by the spliceosome, a large ...

The ability of hosts to rapidly sense invading pathogens and mount an appropriate response is paramount for host survival. Pathogens, pervasive in the natural world, present a perpetual threat to host organisms. Examining ...

Over the last decade, several studies have shown the importance of individual variation in natural populations. Theoretical ecological studies are beginning to incorporate trait variations in models, but they continue to ...

Pattern formation, a fundamental concept in developmental biology, describes how living systems organise complex structures from initially undifferentiated cells. This process, influenced by genetic information, underpins ...

Regulation of organ shape and size is an important area of research in developmental biology in both plants and animals. The shape of a leaf is determined primarily by endogenous factors such as gene function. Only a ...

DNA encounters topological constraints during essential cellular processes such as replication, transcription, and chromosome segregation. To ensure facile execution of these processes, a ubiquitous class of enzymes known ...
