The development of triploid apple cultivars is a priority in breeding by E. N. Sedov, G. A. Sedysheva, M. A. Makarkina, Z. M. Serova

“…During 1970–2015, the following work was done in apple breeding using polyploidy: 455 crossing combinations were performed; 660000 flowers were artificially pollinated; 124700 hybrid seeds were obtained and 47900 one-year-old seedlings were grown, from which after multiple rejections 13200 seedlings were planted in breeding orchards. For the first time in Russia ten apple cultivars (Avgusta, Aleksandr Boiko, Bezhin Lug, Vavilovskoye, Dariona, Maslovskoye, Orlovsky Partizan, Osipovskoye, Patriot and Yablochny Spas) have been developed from intervalence crossings and regionalized. …”

Decreased SynMuv B gene activity in response to viral infection leads to activation of the antiviral RNAi pathway in C. elegans. by Ashwin Seetharaman, Himani Galagali, Elizabeth Linarte, Mona H X Liu, Jennifer D Cohen, Kashish Chetal, Ruslan Sadreyev, Alex J Tate, Taiowa A Montgomery, Gary Ruvkun

“…Many synMuv B genes encode dREAM complex chromatin-regulatory proteins found in nearly all animals and plants. We show that mRNAs which are highly induced in synMuv B mutants are congruent with those induced by Orsay RNA virus infection, suggesting that the enhanced RNAi of synMuv B mutants may also be triggered by down-regulation of synMuvB gene activity in an Orsay virus infection of wild type. …”

Revealing novel protein interaction partners of glyphosate in Escherichia coli by Alix Sarah Aldehoff, Dominique Türkowsky, Patrick Lohmann, Masun Nabhan Homsi, Ulrike Rolle–Kampczyk, Elke Ueberham, Jörg Lehmann, Martin von Bergen, Nico Jehmlich, Sven–Bastiaan Haange

“…Glyphosate displays structural similarity to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), thereby competitively inhibiting the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), crucial for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea. Most microbes, including the gut bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), possess a glyphosate-sensitive class I EPSPS, making them vulnerable to glyphosate’s effects. …”
