Drought stress is a threat to #plant growth, #crop productivity and global #agriculture systems.
Here, Ma et al. identify and characterize the TR ZmDNL1 as a negative modulator of drought tolerance in #maize.

Diagram illustrating that, in maize, the kinase ZmSnRK2.10 phosphorylates the regulator ZmDNL1, disrupting its enhancement of the drought-suppressing transcription factor ZmYAB15, thus minimizing water loss and improving survival during drought.

We have a #PhD available!! Are you interested in #cryoEM 🔬and #RNAstructure🧬? Then this might be for you: tinyurl.com/4uecm38r It's a 4-year funded position through @BBSRCWhiteRose; DM or email me for more details. #RNA #CryoEM #molecularbio #generegulation #Structbio #structuralbiology

`Furthermore, we show that 5′-FAD capping protects RNA from RIG-I mediated innate #immune recognition but does not stabilize the HCV #RNA. These results establish #capping with cellular metabolites as a novel #viral RNA-capping strategy, which could be used by other viruses and affect anti-viral treatment outcomes and persistence of #infection.`

When Chronic Stress Activates These Neurons, Behavioral Problems Like Loss of Pleasure, Depression Result:
It's clear that chronic stress can impact our behavior, leading to problems like depression, reduced interest in things that previously brought us pleasure, even PTSD

The post below reminded me of a visit to the HQ of IonTorrent, then in beta stage
The building was RIGHT on Long Island sound, with a spectacular view
The road crossed a bridge that was slanted and underwater at high tide
