Terminal drought effect on sugar partitioning and metabolism is modulated by leaf stay-green and panicle size in the stem of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) by Thierry Klanvi Tovignan, Hubert Adoukonou-Sagbadja, Cyril Diatta, Anne Clément-Vidal, Armelle Soutiras, Ndiaga Cisse, Delphine Luquet

“…Conclusions This ability to better maintain green leaf area and high hexoses in the stem under post-flowering drought could be an osmoregulation mechanism to adapt to drought. Therefore, stay-green is an important trait to consider for sweet sorghum breeding and particularly in the objective of developing dual purpose varieties in drought prone environments.…”

3,5,6,7,8,3’,4’- Heptamethoxyflavonoid inhibits TGF-β1-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition by regulating oxidative stress and autophagy through MEK/ERK/PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalin... by Yiting Wang, Zhiheng Ma, Weiwen Peng, Qinglian Yu, Wenjie Liang, Liu Cao, Zhuqiang Wang

“…The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of HMF on TGF-β1-induced EMT in human alveolar Type II epithelial cells (A549) and its underlying mechanism. In vitro culture of TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 cells revealed that HMF reduced cell viability and migration, inhibited collagen deposition, decreased expression levels of mesenchymal cell markers and fibrosis markers α-SMA, MMP2, TIMP1, β-catenin, and Snail. …”

Metabolome profiling dissects the oat (Avena sativa L.) innate immune response to Pseudomonas syringae pathovars. by Chanel J Pretorius, Paul A Steenkamp, Ian A Dubery

“…The metabolome acts as a metabolic fingerprint of the biochemical activities of a biological system under particular conditions, and therefore provides a functional readout of the cellular mechanisms involved. Untargeted metabolomics was applied to decipher the biochemical processes related to defence responses of oat plants inoculated with pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae (pathogenic and non-pathogenic on oat) and thereby identify signatory markers that are involved in host or nonhost defence responses. …”
