Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) plants produce economically important fruits containing abundant, balanced phytonutrients with extraordinarily high vitamin C contents. Since the release of first kiwifruit reference genome sequence in 2013, large volumes and transcriptome data have been rapidly accumulated for a handful species. To efficiently store, analyze, integrate, disseminate these large-scale datasets to research community, we constructed Genome Database (KGD; http://kiwifruitgenome.org/)....
Controlled stability of proteins is a highly efficient mechanism to direct diverse processes in plants. A key regulatory system for protein given by the CULLIN-RING E3 ligases (CRLs).

Its depends on presence PRL1, WD40-containing functioning substrate receptor CRL4 ligases. Genetic studies have indicated that negative regulator cadmium (Cd) tolerance Arabidopsis...
BackgroundFor patients with early-stage breast cancers, neoadjuvant treatment is recommended for non-luminal tumors instead of luminal tumors. Preoperative distinguish between and cancers at early stages will facilitate decisions making. However, the molecular immunohistochemical subtypes based on biopsy specimens are not always consistent final results surgical due to high intra-tumoral heterogeneity. Given that, we aimed develop validate a deep learning radiopathomics (DLRP) model...
CULLIN4-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRL4s) as well their targets are fundamental regulators functioning in many key developmental and stress responses eukaryotes.
