This study aimed to study the role of rapamycin (RAPA) in modulating the interaction between gδ T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury mouse model. Mice were injected with LPS to establish the acute lung injury model or LPS + RAPA to assess the role of RAPA in modulating cell interactions. Mice were injected with PBS or RAPA alone as ... more
Fermentation is an important industrial process for microbial metabolite development and has wide applications in various fields. Aspergillus is the most important genus of fungi used for the production of microbial enzymes such as cellulase. The Aspergillus genome encodes various cellulolytic enzymes. In this study, we assayed the gene expression ... more
The quality of RNA is crucial when performing microarray experiments. This is particularly important when dealing with preimplantation embryos, from which a minimum yield of RNA of good quality can be produced. We report the optimization of several RNA extraction methods applied to preimplantation embryos at different stages of development. The quality of the samples was confirmed using a ... more
The identification of genes related to heat tolerance is fundamental for the development of high-quality seeds that are tolerant to heat stress condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate maize lineages and the gene expression involved in high temperature tolerance during germination using physiological tests, proteomics, and transcriptome analysis. Seeds from six maize ... more
In contrast to climacteric fruits, in which ethylene is known to be pivotal, the regulation of ripening in non-climacteric fruits is not well understood. The strawberry is a typical example of a non-climacteric fruit, which has been used as a model system of these types of fruit. In this study, the effect of exogenous ethephon on the expression of ethylene biosynthesis and signaling genes ... more
Theobroma cacao is a species of great economic importance with its beans used for chocolate production. The tree has been a target of various molecular studies. It contains many polyphenols, which complicate the extraction of nucleic acids with the extraction protocols requiring a large amount of plant material. These issues, therefore, necessitate the optimization of the ... more
Considering the great economic and social importance of sweet potato and the few transcriptome studies carried out on this species so far, which can potentially lead to significant improvements in its production system at both productivity and quality levels, this study aimed to determine the most suitable methodology for extracting high-quality RNA from sweet ... more
