Crosstalk between RTG and TOR pathways mediates adaptation to amino acid starvation during fermentative growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract In the presence of glucose, Saccharomyces cerevisiae prefers glycolysis followed by fermentation to generate ATP. One adaptation to this fermentative lifestyle is the retrograde pathway (RTG), which induces the transcription of genes, including several Krebs cycle genes,...

The MBW complex regulates floral volatiles in petunia: transcriptional repressor EOBV is a MYB component of the complex

Anthocyanin biosynthesis in Petunia is regulated by the bHLH AN1 and the WDR protein AN11, which together with interchangeable MYBs form the MYB-bHLH-WDR (MBW) complex. As they share the same biosynthetic pathway, anthocyanins are interlinked with phenylalanine-derived volatiles....

The Labrid Fishes of the Subgenus Julis Cuvier, 1814 (In CORIS Lacepede, 1802), from South and East Africa

Various subgenera have been proposed, among other features the absence of a canine in the angle of the mouth in the type species has been used to justify this, while the genus Julis Cuvier, 1814, generally assigned only sub-generic rank, covers a fairly well defined group with di...

Do individualists and collectivists cooperate differently?

Do cultural mindsets shape cooperation? Individualists, who view people as independent, and collectivists, who see them as interconnected, make different decisions that impact governance and economic outcomes. This study tests individualism and collectivism (I/C) in indefinitely...
