Application of plant specialized metabolites to modulate soil microbiota

Clinical application of gut microbiota metabolites: A novel opportunity in personalized medicine

Nowadays, metabolomics studies are performed with different approaches to identify biomarkers, clarify the underlying mechanisms of diseases and achieve novel treatment strategies. In this context, gut microbiota-derived metabolites are known as one of the most important mediators of gut microbiota effects on human health and various diseases. Due to the inefficiency of conventional therapies i...

Relative mass defect filtering of mass spectra: a path to discovery of plant specialized metabolites.

The rapid identification of novel plant metabolites and assignments of newly discovered substances to natural product classes present the main bottlenecks to defining plant specialized phenotypes. Although mass spectrometry provides powerful support for metabolite discovery by measuring molecular masses, ambiguities in elemental formulas often fail to reveal the biosynthetic origins of speciali...

Methods to Identify Plant Metabolites

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Biotic context and soil properties modulate native plant responses to enhanced rainfall.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The environmental and biotic context within which plants grow have a great potential to modify responses to climatic changes, yet few studies have addressed both the direct effects of climate and the modulating roles played by variation in the biotic (e.g. competitors) and abiotic (e.g. soils) environment. METHODS In a grassland with highly heterogeneous soils and communit...
