Researchers have synthesized a new allohexaploid wheat, Triticum kiharae, and demonstrated a feasible route to simultaneously introgress standing genetic variations from both the Timopheevii wheat (T. timopheevii) and goat-grass (Aegilops tauschii), as well as heritable de novo variations that have arisen in T. kiharae, into common wheat.
Researchers from The University of Osaka found that Oxr1 and Ncoa7 regulate the vacuolar-type proton pump ATPase on the membrane of the Golgi apparatus and trans-Golgi network to maintain their luminal pH. Inhibition of Oxr1 and Ncoa7 function disrupts glycosylation, a key enzymatic process that takes place in these organelles, providing new insight into the mechanisms underlying congenital disorders of glycosylation.
Brain networks responsible for sensing, understanding, and responding emotionally to pain develop at different rates in infants, with the conscious understanding of pain not fully developed until after birth, finds a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers.
