Open AccessInheritance of perturbed methylation and metabolism caused by uterine malnutrition via oocytes
Undernourishment in utero has deleterious effects on the metabolism of offspring, but the mechanism of the transgenerational transmission of metabolic disorders is not well known. In the present study, we foun...

Reduction of mtDNA heteroplasmy in mitochondrial replacement therapy by inducing forced mitophagy
Mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) has been used to prevent maternal transmission of disease-causing mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). However, because MRT requires nuclear transfer, it carries the ...

Allelopathic potential of Rhus chinensis on seedling growth of radish, semen cassiae and black soyabean
The allelopathic potential of Rhus chinensis Mill on seedling growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L.), semen cassiae (seed of Cassia obtusifolia L.) and black soyabean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was investigated und...

Molecular, biochemical and bioassay based evidence of lower allelopathic potential in genetically modified rice
This study examines allelopathic potential of genetically modified rice. The experiment was conducted on two isogenic lines Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and non-Bacillus thuringiensis (non-Bt). Both isogenic lines...

Open AccessHijacking common mycorrhizal networks for herbivore-induced defence signal transfer between tomato plants
Common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) link multiple plants together. We hypothesized that CMNs can serve as an underground conduit for transferring herbivore-induced defence signals. We established CMN between tw...

Open AccessDiabetic uterus environment may play a key role in alterations of DNA methylation of several imprinted genes at mid-gestation in mice
Maternal diabetes mellitus not only has severe deleterious effects on fetal development, but also it affects transmission to the next generation. However, the underlying mechanisms for these effects are still ...

UV-irradiation enhances rice allelopathic potential in rhizosphere soil
Ultraviolet-B radiation is rising continuously due to stratospheric ozone depletion over temperate latitudes. This study investigated effects of UV exposure on rice allelopathic potentials. For this purpose, t...

Priming of Anti-Herbivore Defense in Tomato by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus and Involvement of the Jasmonate Pathway
Mycorrhizas play a vital role in soil fertility, plant nutrition, and resistance to environmental stresses. However, mycorrhizal effects on plant resistance to herbivorous insects and the related mechanisms ar...

Induction of DIMBOA accumulation and systemic defense responses as a mechanism of enhanced resistance of mycorrhizal corn (Zea mays L.) to sheath blight
Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most important symbioses in terrestrial ecosystems and they enhance the plant defense against numerous soil-borne pathogenic fungi and nematodes. Two corn (Zea mays) varieties, Gaoy...

Estimation of water dynamics in a vertical-flow constructed wetland with a growing plant species
Vertical-flow constructed wetland (VFCW) is a promising technique for wastewater treatment comparable to conventional wastewater treatment plants. The physical, chemical, and biological processes and interacti...

Autotoxicity in Agriculture and Forestry
Plant allelochemicals might interfere with growth of conspecific individuals (known as autotoxicity) when high concentrations are accumulated in soil. Autotoxicity is ubiquitous in both natural and manipulated...

Rice Allelopathy Induced by Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Salicylate
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA) are important signaling molecules that induce plant defense against insect herbivores and microbial pathogens. We tested the hypothesis that allelopathy is ...
