FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO CLASS II DITERPENE SYNTHASES INDICATES ADDITIONAL SPECIALIZED DITERPENOID PATHWAYS IN MAIZE (ZEA MAYS)

Functional Characterization of Two Class II Diterpene Synthases Indicates Additional Specialized Diterpenoid Pathways in Maize (Zea mays)

As a major staple food, maize (Zea mays) is critical to food security.Shifting environmental pressures increasingly hamper crop defense capacities, causing expanded harvest loss.Specialized labdane-type diterpenoids are key components of maize chemical defense and ecological adaptation.Labdane diterpenoid biosynthesis most commonly requires the pai

A challenging upper digestive tract continuity restoration after recurrent esophago-colonic anastomosis complications

Abstract Background Acute and chronic complications in esophago-colonic anastomosis have a significant impact in the postoperative course of patients with colonic transposition.Evidence about their management is poor and surgical treatment is mostly based on tailored approaches, so each new experience could be useful to improve knowledge about this
