A double-negative prostate cancer subtype is vulnerable to SWI/SNF-targeting degrader molecules

This study identifies a SWI/SNF-targeting therapy effective against a double-negative prostate cancer subtype, showing it reduces viability in both AR-dependent and WNT-dependent models.

The 2023 wildfire season in Quebec: an overview of extreme conditions, impacts, lessons learned and considerations for the future.

The paper reviews the 2023 Quebec wildfire season, its extreme conditions, impacts on ecosystems and communities, and proposes strategies for future wildfire risk management.

Intermittent water stress favors microbial generalists that better help wheat under drought

The paper shows that intermittent water stress history in soil selects for microbial generalists that enhance wheat's drought resistance.

Mixotrophic microalgal mixed cultures for cheese whey valorization

This study explores using acetate from cheese whey fermentation to support microalgal growth in mixotrophic conditions, showing acetate's effectiveness as a carbon source and the benefits of coupling fermentation with microalgae cultivation.

Thermal and alkaline pre-treatments of inoculum halt methanogenesis and enables cheese whey valorization by batch acidogenic fermentation

The paper shows that thermal and alkaline pre-treatments of inoculum in batch acidogenic fermentation of cheese whey increase volatile fatty acid production while inhibiting methanogenesis.

The effect of wheat genotype on its microbiome is more evident in roots than rhizosphere and is strongly influenced by time

This study shows that wheat genotype affects root microbiome more than rhizosphere or soil, and this effect varies with time and plant compartment.

Structural variations in the phytoene synthase 1 gene affect carotenoid accumulation in tomato fruits and result in bicolor and yellow phenotypes

This study identifies structural variations in the PSY1 gene that cause yellow and bicolor phenotypes in tomato fruits by affecting carotenoid accumulation.

Metatranscriptomic response of the wheat holobiont to decreasing soil water content

The paper examines how wheat and its associated microorganisms respond to decreasing soil water content through metatranscriptomic analysis of roots and rhizosphere samples under different precipitation treatments.

Rhizospheric miRNAs affect the plant microbiota

This study shows plant miRNAs are present in the rhizosphere and influence bacterial gene expression, altering microbial community composition.

Hidden potential of the supporting scaffold as a structural module for plant cystatin design

The paper designs hybrid cystatins by grafting inhibitory elements onto different scaffolds, showing improved inhibitory activity against Cys proteases.

Animal soil food web complexity triggers shifts in microbial communities, including PAH degraders, but without clear effects on phenanthrene phytoremediation

This study examines how soil food web complexity affects microbial communities and willow growth in phytoremediation of phenanthrene, finding no significant impact on degradation rates despite changes in microbial composition.

Harnessing the functional diversity of plant cystatins to design inhibitor variants highly active against herbivorous arthropod digestive proteases

The paper designs improved cystatin inhibitors against herbivorous arthropod proteases by swapping structural elements between plant cystatins.

Relative and quantitative rhizosphere microbiome profiling result in distinct abundance patterns

The paper compares relative and quantitative abundance methods for rhizosphere microbiome profiling, finding that absolute abundance provides complementary insights to relative abundance.

Soil characteristics constrain the response of bacterial and fungal communities and hydrocarbon degradation genes to phenanthrene soil contamination and phytoremediation with poplars

Field assessment of precocious maturation in salmon parr using ultrasound imaging

The paper compares traditional phenotypic examination with ultrasound imaging to assess precocious maturation in Atlantic salmon parr and provides handling and interpretation recommendations.

Nitrogen- and phosphorus-starved Triticum aestivum show distinct belowground microbiome profiles

The paper examines microbiome profiles of nitrogen- and phosphorus-starved wheat plants and identifies distinct microbial communities associated with nutrient starvation.
