Developmental Restriction of Retrotransposition Activated in Arabidopsis by Environmental Stress.
Retrotransposons (RTs) can rapidly increase in copy number due to periodic bursts of transposition. Such bursts are mutagenic and thus potentially deleterious. However, certain transposition-induced gain-of-function or...

Mobilization of Pack-CACTA transposons in Arabidopsis suggests the mechanism of gene shuffling.
Pack-TYPE transposons are a unique class of potentially mobile non-autonomous elements that can capture, merge and relocate fragments of chromosomal DNA. It has been postulated that their activity accelerates the evolution of...

Environmental and epigenetic regulation of Rider retrotransposons in tomato.
Transposable elements in crop plants are the powerful drivers of phenotypic variation that has been selected during domestication and breeding programs. In tomato, transpositions of the LTR (long terminal repeat) retrotransposon...

Online or Offline Services for Urban Neighbourhoods?
Services originally developed as natural concentrations of human activity, reflecting the Christallerian hierarchy of central places. Today, those natural mechanisms are challenged by strong competition from online facilities....
Are antimicrobial defences in bird eggs related to climatic conditions associated with risk of trans-shell microbial infection?
INTRODUCTION: All bird eggs are exposed to microbes in the environment, which if transmitted to the developing embryo, could cause hatching failure. However, the risk of trans-shell infection varies with environmental conditions...

High-frequency recombination between members of an LTR retrotransposon family during transposition bursts.
Retrotransposons containing long terminal repeats (LTRs) form a substantial fraction of eukaryotic genomes. The timing of past transposition can be estimated by quantifying the accumulation of mutations in initially identical...

Implications of Oxidative Stress in Glioblastoma Multiforme Following Treatment with Purine Derivatives.
Recently, small compound-based therapies have provided new insights into the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) by inducing oxidative impairment. Kinetin riboside (KR) and newly designed derivatives (8-azaKR, 7-deazaKR)...

Discovery of biomarkers for glycaemic deterioration before and after the onset of type 2 diabetes
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Here, we describe the characteristics of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) Diabetes Research on Patient Stratification (DIRECT) epidemiological cohorts at baseline and follow-up examinations (18, 36 and...
