GmERF57 negatively regulates root development and phosphate absorption in soybean by Hongqing Zhu, Dandan Hu, Yifei Yang, Xuhao Zhai, Shanshan Zhang, Mengshi He, Huifang Zuo, Lina Zhang, Mengjun Xu, Shanshan Chu, Haiyan Lü, Hengyou Zhang, Yu Zhang, Dan Zhang

“…Silencing GmERF57 expression promoted root development and enhanced plant Pi uptake; conversely, overexpression of GmERF57 yielded contrasting phenotypes compared to silenced roots. We further uncovered that GmERF57 physically interacts with GmTUB1 (β-tubulin protein) and modulates soybean root architecture and Pi uptake capacity by downregulating GmTUB1 and other Pi starvation response genes. …”

Comparative evaluation of cell-based assay technologies for scoring drug-induced condensation of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein by Rui Tong Quek, Cyna R. Shirazinejad, Christina L. Young, Kierra S. Hardy, Samuel Lim, Phillip J. Elms, David T. McSwiggen, Timothy J. Mitchison, Pamela A. Silver

“…These approaches lack information on protein dynamics, are limited by microscope resolution, and are insensitive to subtle condensation phenotypes missed by overfit analysis pipelines. Here, we evaluate two alternative cell-based assays: high-throughput single molecule tracking (htSMT) and proximity-based condensate biosensors using NanoBIT (split luciferase) and NanoBRET (bioluminescence resonance energy transfer) technologies. …”

The use of molecular-genetic and phytopathological methods to identify genes for effective leaf rust resistance in Aegilops accessions by L. G. Tyryshkin, M. A. Kolesova

“…From a theoretical viewpoint, the presence of a certain amplification fragment can hardly be interpreted as a definite proof of the presence of a resistance gene: during the species evolution, recombinations and mutations could occur, resulting in disturbance of the fragment’s presence and phenotypic expression of its connection with resistance. …”

Expanding the clinical spectrum of 19p13.3 microduplication syndrome: a case report highlighting nephrotic syndrome and literature review by Wenjie Sun, Hong Yan, Mengxin Sun, Jie Wang, Kunxia Li

“…Conclusion Microduplication in the 19p13.3 region could be one of the genetic factors contributing to the observed clinical phenotypes. However, patients with developmental delay, microcephaly, distinctive facial features, congenital heart defects, and urogenital system disorders may exhibit these manifestations due to various genetic syndromes; therefore, simply considering the possibility of 19p13.3 microduplication syndrome based on these non-specific features is not sufficient. …”
