TL;DR: Constant evidence suggests a critical role played by the low‐activity‐dimeric PKM2 in tumor progression, supported by the identification of mutations which result in the down‐regulation of its activity and tumorigenesis in a nude mouse model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the focus is shifting away from professionals in specific occupations, like doctors, engineers, scientists, architects, bankers, to information technology (IT) professionals embodying, in a way, more generic skills.
Abstract: Globalization of human capital through international migration is no longer about global physical presence only; it is also about global applicability of skills across various fields of specialization. This marks the main characteristics of skilled migration from India to developed countries in the twenty-first century. The focus is shifting away from professionals in specific occupations, like doctors, engineers, scientists, architects, bankers, to information technology (IT) professionals embodying, in a way, more generic skills. In other words, it is the generic applicability of information and communications technology (ICT) which has led to large-scale migration of Indians skilled in IT. Moreover, the exodus comprises not only the fully trained and educated workers going abroad for employment, but also students - the semi-finished human capital - pursuing higher education in onshore as well as offshore universities of the developed countries. The new emigration is directed towards traditional host countries in the West such as the UK, Canada, and the US, but also towards newly emerging destinations in continental Europe (Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Denmark), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand), East Asia (Japan, Republic of Korea), and South-East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia). By using mainly current information and informal data as reported in the media, this article perceives emerging trends and changes in the context of the global labour market for skills, and suggests a possible framework towards evolving strategies of remedial development.

TL;DR: It seems likely thatlipids are required for sustaining the photosynthetic activity under environmental stress, and a loss in activity is observed as the lipids are degraded either by high light or high temperature stress.
Abstract: Effects of high light and temperature stress on the structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus of wheat (Triticum aestivum) were studied. There was a decrease in the electron transport activity of chloroplasts isolated from photoinhibited and heat-stressed leaves. Chlorophyll fluorescence was measured in photoinhibited and heat-stressed leaves and the decrease in variable fluorescence and variable to maximum fluorescence ratio of the stressed leaves indicated a loss in the quantum yield of photosynthesis. The decrease in electron transport activity was accompanied by an increase in peroxidation of thylakoid lipids. Lipid peroxidation indicated the oxidative degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acyl residues of the thylakoid lipids. A negative correlation was observed between electron transport activity and lipid peroxidation. The electron transport activity was completely lost as the peroxidation level reached a threshold equivalent to 0.6 micromoles malondialdehyde. The threshold of lipid peroxidation for complete loss of activity was the same for both photoinhibition and heat treatment, suggesting that the nature of the environmental stress may be less important with respect to the relationship between electron transport and lipid peroxidation. Thus, it seems likely that lipids are required for sustaining the photosynthetic activity under environmental stress, and a loss in activity is observed as the lipids are degraded either by high light or high temperature stress.

TL;DR: Various attributes of sweet sorghum that make it an ideal candidate for biofuel feedstock are discussed, and an overview of genetic diversity, tools, and resources available for engineering and/or marker-assisting breeding of sweet Sorghum are provided.
Abstract: Sweet sorghum is a promising target for biofuel production. It is a C4 crop with low input requirements and accumulates high levels of sugars in its stalks. However, large-scale planting on marginal lands would require improved varieties with optimized biofuel-related traits and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Considering this, many studies have been carried out to generate genetic and genomic resources for sweet sorghum. In this review, we discuss various attributes of sweet sorghum that make it an ideal candidate for biofuel feedstock, and provide an overview of genetic diversity, tools, and resources available for engineering and/or marker-assisting breeding of sweet sorghum. Finally, the progress made so far, in identification of genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) important for agronomic traits and ongoing molecular breeding efforts to generate improved varieties, has been discussed.
