Next-generation sequencing was exploited to gain deeper insight into the response to infection by Candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas), especially the immune disregulation and metabolic dysfunction caused by source-sink disruption. Previous fruit transcriptome data were compared with additional RNA-Seq data in three tissues: immature fruit, and young and mature leaves. Four categories of o...

Sumutwtary. The effect of metabolic inhibition of the sink tisslues oni translocation of 14C-labeled photosynthate was studied by cooling part or all of the sink region in a translocating sugar beet plant (Beta vuilgaris L. var Klein Wanzleben). W\hen the sinlk region was cooled, 4 phases were observed: a temporary declille, a perio(d of translocationi at the pre-treatment rate, a period of dec...

Metabolite transport between organelles, cells and source and sink tissues not only enables pathway co-ordination but it also facilitates whole plant communication, particularly in the transmission of information concerning resource availability. Carbon assimilation is co-ordinated with nitrogen assimilation to ensure that the building blocks of biomass production, amino acids and carbon skelet...

Developmental senescence is a coordinated physiological process in plants and is critical for nutrient redistribution from senescing leaves to newly formed sink organs, including young leaves and developing seeds. Progress has been made concerning the genes involved and the regulatory networks controlling senescence. The resulting complex metabolome changes during senescence have not been inves...

Upwelling, a common oceanographic event, can make great contributions, directly or indirectly, to deep ocean carbon sequestration. However, the extent of its contribution indirectly depends on composition microbial communities and interactions between bacterioplankton other microorganisms. This study provides insights into influence upwelling at whole community level predicts their potential fu...

Five recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), previously selected from the Bay-0 x Shahdara RIL population on the basis of differential leaf senescence phenotypes (from early senescing to late senescing) when cultivated under nitrogen (N)-limiting conditions, were analyzed to monitor metabolic markers related to N assimilation and N remobilization pathways. In each...

Abstract. Metabolic activities in estuaries, especially these of large rivers, profoundly affect the downstream coastal biogeochemistry. Here, we unravel impacts industrial port facilities, showing that elevated metabolic activity Hamburg (Germany) increases total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) runoff to North Sea. The imports particulate carbon, organic nitrogen (PIC, POC...

BACKGROUND In vitro observations support the lipid sink theory of therapeutic action by confirming the capacity of lipid emulsions to successfully uptake bupivacaine from aqueous media. However, competing hypotheses and some in/ex vivo small animal studies suggest that a metabolic or positive inotropic effect underlies the dramatic effects of lipid therapy. Controlled clinical tests to establis...
