Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the most important micronutrient
disorders affecting human health. Wheat is the staple food for 35% of the world's population …

Salinity stress (SS) is a serious abiotic stress and a major constraint to agricultural
productivity across the globe. High SS negatively affects plant growth and yield by altering …

Nutritional deficiency is associated with impaired immunity and increased susceptibility to
infections. The complex interactions of trace elements with the macromolecules trigger the …

Salinity is a worldwide issue of intimidating land productivity and the production of food.
Seed priming can be an effective approach to enhance the performance of seedlings …

Chromosomal translocations are a major cause of cancer. At the same time, the
mechanisms that lead to specific chromosomal translocations that associate different gene …

The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an architectural protein that governs chromatin
organization and gene expression in somatic cells. Here, we show that CTCF regulates …

We introduce a new measure for assessing similarity among chemical structures, based on
well-established computational-topology algorithms. We argue that although the method …

The spatial configuration of chromatin is fundamental to ensure any given cell can fulfil its
functional duties, from gene expression to specialised cellular division. Significant …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the main micronutrient disorders in rice and it may inflict its
deficiency in the people feeding on it. Selection of rice genotypes with higher potential of Zn …

Abstract The multi-Cys 2 His 2 (mC 2 H 2) zinc finger protein, like CTCF, plays a central role
in the three-dimensional organization of chromatin and gene regulation. The interaction …
