Genome-wide identification and systematic characterization of MATH family genes and expression analysis of response to abiotic stresses in Brassica napus L

Abstract Background Meprin and TRAF-C homology (MATH) proteins function as adaptor molecules and components of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. They link receptor-like kinase signalling to downstream regulatory pathways in plants. MATH proteins coordinate growth, hormone signalling...

Comprehensive molecular characterization and biosafety assessment of TaDOF7.6 transgenic and gene-edited wheat

Wheat is one of the major staple food crops worldwide, and stable wheat yield is crucial for ensuring global food security. Transgenic and gene-editing technologies serve as important approaches for wheat genetic improvement, yet further application of related materials requires...

Structural insights into a substrate translocation pathway revealed by the RND efflux pump complex MexJK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Resistance–nodulation–cell division (RND) efflux pumps are the major cause of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The inner membrane protein MexK from P. aeruginosa is a narrow-spectrum RND transporter. It assembles with membrane fusion protein MexJ and outer membran...

Comparative evaluation of Bacillus and Lactobacillus in cottonseed hull fermentation

Abstract Microbial fermentation is an effective approach to improving the nutritional value of cottonseed hulls and alleviating feed resource shortages. However, the interaction mechanisms between Bacillus and Lactobacillus within fermentation systems remain unclear. In this stud...
