Evidence for a common toolbox based on necrotrophy in a fungal lineage spanning necrotrophs, biotrophs, endophytes, host generalists and specialists.

The Sclerotiniaceae (Ascomycotina, Leotiomycetes) is a relatively recently evolved lineage of necrotrophic host generalists, and necrotrophic or biotrophic host specialists, some latent or symptomless.We hypothesized that they inherited a basic MENS SNOW toolbox of genes for plant symbiosis from their common ancestor.Maintenance and evolutionary di

Influence of roasting on the thermal degradation pathway in the glucosinolates of fragrant rapeseed oil: Implications to flavour profiles

Purified desulphated glucosinolates (GSLs) were subjected to thermal treatment in model systems without interference to investigate the formation Folding Tables of volatile components derived from GSLs only.Desulphated progoitrin (PRO), desulphated gluconapin (GNA), and desulphated glucobrassicanapin (GBN) were isolated from rapeseed (Brassica napu

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Modulates the Dependence on Age of the Variability of Synchronous Neural Interactions

Recent evidence documented a protective effect of Class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1*13 on brain health across the lifespan including evidence of reduced neural network variability relative to non-carriers.Here, in an extension of those findings, we evaluated the influence of a large number of Class I and Class II HLA alleles on aging-rela
