Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important economic crop, and to date, there has been no genome-wide identification analysis of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGC) gene family in eggplant. In this study, we identified CNGC eggplant, results showed that 29 SmCNGC genes were classified into five groups, unevenly distributed across 12 chromosomes The structure motif indicated proteins ...

Plant growth is severely affected by toxic concentrations of the non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Comprehensive transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq following cadmium exposure is required to further understand plant responses to Cd and facilitate future systems-based analyses of the underlying regulatory networks. In this study, rice plants were hydroponically treated with 50 µM Cd for 24 h...

Bacterial stress responses provide them the opportunity to survive hostile environments, proliferate and potentially cause diseases in humans and animals. The way in which pathogenic bacteria interact with host immune cells triggers a complicated series of events that include rapid genetic re-programming in response to the various host conditions encountered. Viewed in this light, the bacterial...

Research made possible through the use of the wealth of genomic information and genetic resources available for model plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana has led to a substantial increase in our knowledge about how plants respond to stressful environmental conditions. This leap in understanding provides the basis for many new strategies for optimization of stress tolerance in crop plants...

Aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as gentamicin and kanamycin, directly target the ribosome, yet the mechanisms by which these bactericidal drugs induce cell death are not fully understood. Recently, oxidative stress has been implicated as one of the mechanisms whereby bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria. Here, we use systems-level approaches and phenotypic analyses to provide insight into th...

In unicellular organisms like yeasts, which do not have specialized tissues for protection against environmental challenges, the presence of cellular mechanisms to respond and adapt stress conditions is fundamental. this work, we aimed investigate response light in Kluyveromyces lactis . Yeast lacks light-sensing proteins; however, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been reported by increasing hydrog...

Through the exponential development in the specification of sequences and structures of proteins by genome sequencing and structural genomics approaches, there is a growing demand for valid bioinformatics methods to define these proteins function. In this study, our objective is to identify the function of unknown proteins from UCB-1 pistachio rootstock and specify their class...

Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in ...
