Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

Biochemical Changes throughout Grape Berry Development and Fruit and Wine Quality

Carlos Conde, +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the key control points in grape ripening and concluded that optimal grape maturity is essential for wine quality, but is difficult to assess because it is under multifactorial control, involving grapevine cultivar variety and environmental parameters such as soil, temperature, exposure to sun, and hormonal regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saccharomyces cerevisiae commits to a programmed cell death process in response to acetic acid

Paula Ludovico, +5 more
- 01 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: Results show that a programmed cell death process sharing common features with an apoptotic phenotype can be induced by acetic acid in S. cerevisiae, raising the possibility of this mode of cell death being more generalized in yeasts than previously considered and extended to cell death induced by other stress agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

ADP/ATP carrier is required for mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and cytochrome c release in yeast apoptosis.

Clara Pereira, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: expression of a mutated form of Aac2p (op1) exhibiting very low ADP/ATP translocase activity indicates that AAC's pro‐death role does not require transloc enzyme activity, which points to a crucial role of AAC in yeast apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines and recommendations on yeast cell death nomenclature

Didac Carmona-Gutierrez, +93 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Unified criteria for the definition of accidental, regulated, and programmed forms of cell death in yeast based on a series of morphological and biochemical criteria are proposed.
