Recent breakthroughs in transcriptome analysis and gene characterization have provided
valuable resources and information about the maize endosperm developmental program …

Seed development is a crucial phase in the life cycle of seed-propagated plants. As the only
group of angiosperms that evolved from terrestrial plants to complete their life cycle …

Honey is a natural sweetener composed mostly of sugars, but it contains also pollen grains,
proteins, free amino acids, and minerals. The amounts and proportions of these components …

Endosperm transfer cells (ETC) are one of four main types of cells in endosperm. A
characteristic feature of ETC is the presence of cell wall in-growths that create an enlarged …

Two large-scale Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) mortality episodes were
reported on separate coasts of Florida in 2013. The east coast mortality episode was …

Glucosinolates present in Brassicales are important for human health and plant defense
against insects and pathogens. Here we investigate the proteomes and metabolomes of …

In maize developing seeds, transfer cells are prominently located at the basal endosperm
transfer layer (BETL). As the first filial cell layer, BETL is a gateway to sugars, nutrients and …

Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of 12 exogenous fibrolytic enzyme products
(EFE) on ruminal in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) and preingestive …

Background Transfer cells are characterized by intricate ingrowth walls, comprising an
uniform wall upon which wall ingrowths are deposited. The ingrowth wall forms a scaffold to …

JAMM/MPN+ metalloproteases cleave (iso) peptide bonds C-terminal to ubiquitin (Ub) and
ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl) domains and typically require association with protein partners for …
