RNA-Seq Based Transcriptome Analysis of the Type I Interferon Host Response upon Vaccinia Virus Infection of Mouse Cells by Bruno Hernáez, Graciela Alonso, Juan Manuel Alonso-Lobo, Alberto Rastrojo, Cornelius Fischer, Sascha Sauer, Begoña Aguado, Antonio Alcamí

“…Transcriptome profiling of L929 cells after incubation with purified recombinant B18 protein showed that attachment of B18 to the cell surface does not trigger cell signalling leading to transcriptional activation. Consistent with its ability to bind type I IFN, B18 completely inhibited the IFN-mediated modulation of host gene expression. …”

Determining the germinative qualities of red clover seed samples with varying biological status by Lesia Levytska, Lesia Baistruk-Hlodan, Oleh Stasiv, Halyna Bilovus, Maria Khomiak

“…Temperature influences both the timing and rate of seed germination, which in turn ensures uniform seedling emergence, compatibility of red clover with other crops, and the ability to exploit optimal sowing conditions. This study aimed to determine the temperature and time required to achieve maximum germination, as well as the range within which germination occurred, for four red clover samples of varying biological status (cultivars, wild and local populations). …”
