Gene Expression Analysis of Deduced Protein Sequence from the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) Homolog during Vegetative and Reproductive Phases in Lepidium sativum L. by Parissa Jonoubi, Farkhondeh Rezanejad, Fatemeh Mahyapoor

“…Results showed that LsFLC expression levels were very high in the root and relatively high in leaves and stems, whereas no expression was allowed in flowers. Indeed, the mRNA levels were much higher during the vegetative phase compared to the transition to flowering, therefore agreeing with the known role of FLC as a promoter of vegetative growth and an inhibitor of flowering. …”

Arabidopsis apoplast TET8 positively correlates to leaf senescence, and tet3tet8 double mutants are delayed in leaf senescence by Jayde A. Zimmerman, Benjamin Verboonen, Andrew P. Harrison Hanson, Luis R. Arballo, Judy A. Brusslan

“…The increase in apoplast TET8 in the pen1 mutant did not correspond to increased TET8 mRNA levels. In addition, apoplast TET8 was more abundant in the early leaf senescence myb59 mutant, meaning the increase in apoplast TET8 protein during leaf senescence is not dependent on pen1 or pen3. …”

Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics data revealed role of insulin resistant SNW1 gene in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes by Ravi Bhushan, Rimjhim Trivedi, Ritu Raj, Anjali Rani, Sangeeta Rai, Anima Tripathi, Shiv Govind Rawat, Ajay Kumar, Dinesh Kumar, Pawan K. Dubey

“…Metabolomic studies indicated significantly elevated gluconeogenesis in GDM, evidenced by decreased levels of alanine and increased levels of pyruvate and glucose compared to controls. siRNA-mediated knockdown of SNW1 in PANC1 cells resulted in significant down-regulation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS1), while glucose transporters (GLUT2/GLUT4) and insulin (INS) were significantly up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels. This study identified SNW1 as a novel insulin-resistant gene that induces hyperglycemia by elevating gluconeogenesis and decreasing glucose uptake. …”
