Researchers at Purdue University have identified the molecular mechanisms responsible for shutting down floral scent after pollination, which may help improve floral scent in unscented flowers. The study found that fertilization triggers a decline in scent production and that plant hormones play a role in regulating this process.
Researchers at UNC have identified a protein that directly regulates lysine methylation on core histone protein H3, leading to gene repression. This discovery sheds light on the mechanisms of epigenetic signals and their role in regulating gene expression.
Researchers identified a green tea compound that may block a key cell receptor involved in allergic responses, potentially providing an anti-allergenic effect. The study found that the compound, methylated EGCG, is more potent than previously discovered compounds and may work against various allergens.
