Allelic Variation of MYB10 is the Major Force Controlling Natural Variation of Skin and Flesh Color in Strawberry (Fragaria spp.) fruit
(2020-06-13)Anthocyanins are the principal color-producing compounds synthesized in developing fruits of strawberry (Fragaria spp.). Substantial natural variation in color have been observed in fruits of diploid and octoploid accessions, ... -
Ammonium regulates the development of pine roots through hormonal crosstalk and differential expression of transcription factors in the apex
(Wiley, 2021-11-01)Ammonium is a prominent source of inorganic nitrogen for plant nutrition, but excessive amounts can be toxic for many species. However, most conifers are tolerant to ammonium, a relevant physiological feature of this ancient ... -
Antioxidant responses related to temozolomide resistance in glioblastoma
(Elsevier, 2021)Glioblastoma remains one of the most challenging and devastating cancers, with only a very small proportion of patients achieving 5-year survival. The current standard of care consists of surgery, followed by radiation ... -
Autophagy is required for strawberry fruit ripening
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-08-27)Autophagy is a catabolic and recycling pathway that maintains cellular homeostasis under normal growth and stress conditions. Two major types of autophagy, microautophagy and macroautophagy, have been described in plants. ... -
Bringing Light to Science Undergraduate Students: A Successful Laboratory Experiment Illustrating the Principles and Applications of Bioluminescence
(ACS Publications, 2021)Although many laboratory experiments are available to illustrate spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods, few of them introduce the use of luminometry to students. Bioluminescence, a subtype of chemiluminescence, ... -
Characterizing the involvement of FaMADS9 in the regulation of strawberry fruit receptacle development
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-09-18)FaMADS9 is the strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) gene that exhibits the highest homology to the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) RIN gene. Transgenic lines were obtained in which FaMADS9 was silenced. The fruits of these lines ... -
A comparative study of the antiangiogenic activity of hydroxytyrosyl alkyl ethers
(2020-09-22)The phenolic compound hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives are responsible for some of the health benefits of the intake of virgin olive oil, having shown antiangiogenic properties. In this study, we explored the ... -
Comparison of the anti-angiogenic potential of hydroxytyrosol and five derivatives
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)Hydroxytyrosol is a phenolic compound present in extra virgin olive oil, either in free form or as derivatives, and related to some of the health benefits described for olive oil intake. We have demonstrated previously ... -
Control of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis through modulation of cell redox state
(2020-09-22)Redox reactions pervade all biology. The control of cellular redox state is essential for bioenergetics and for the proper functioning of many biological functions. This review traces a timeline of findings regarding the ... -
Copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass promotes angiogenesis in an in vivo zebrafish model
(2018-10-19)The osteogenic and angiogenic responses of organisms to the ionic products of degradation of bioactive glasses (BGs) are being intensively investigated. The promotion of angiogenesis by copper (Cu) has been known for more ... -
Exploring the ring-closing metathesis for the construction of the solomonamide macrocyclic core: identification of bioactive precursors
(2018-10-19)New synthetic strategies directed toward the novel cyclopeptides solomonamides have been explored utilizing an olefin metathesis as the key reaction. In the various strategies investigated, we worked on minimally oxidized ... -
Fishing anti(lymph)angiogenic drugs with zebrafish
(2018-10-19)Zebrafish, an amenable small teleost fish with a complex mammal-like circulatory system, is being increasingly used for drug screening and toxicity studies. It combines the biological complexity of in vivo models with a ... -
Functional Analysis of TM6 MADS-box gene in the Octoploid Strawberry by CRISPR/Cas9 directed mutagenesis
(bioRxiv, 2018-06-20)The B-class of MADS-box transcription factors has been studied in many plant species, but remain functionally uncharacterized in the Rosaceae family. APETALA3 (AP3), a member of this class, controls the identity of petals ... -
