Based on the concept types frequently involved in metabolic processes, we defined the curation task as the annotation of chemical compounds (CCs), genes or gene products (GGPs) and expressions signifying metabolic processes (triggers).
In contrast, our task was designed to include the annotations of all of the mentions of chemicals, genes or gene products and metabolic process triggers.
Figure 1B highlights the biological processes triggered in the host plant, at 10 DAI with rhizobia, where the most representative category was of the metabolic process, followed by response to stimulus.
Accumulation of β-carotene in the cauliflower org mutant is associated with a metabolic process that triggers the differentiation of plastids into chromoplasts rather than changes in expression of genes encoding carotenoid biosynthetic enzymes [ 63, 64].
Oxidative alterations of mitochondria result in compromised metabolic processes, such as oxidative phosphorylation, which can trigger endothelial dysfunction, a leading mechanism in atherosclerosis progression (Choksi et al. 2004).
The cascade of metabolic processes that takes place in bodies once food has triggered taste and olfaction, and the complex hormonal feedback mechanisms that follow, leads across a threshold of sorts.
These changes suggest that some lipid metabolic processes, such as using more fatty acids as fuel, could be triggered and enhanced.
Metabolism-related genes were subdivided into catabolic processes (4.91%), regulation of metabolic processes (9.31%), nitrogen compound metabolic process (10.49%), biosynthetic processes (10.66%), macromolecule metabolic processes (17.94%), cellular metabolic processes (20.14%) and primary metabolic processes (21.15%).
The heat-generating metabolic process in the inflorescence is triggered by a hormone, calorigen, originating in the male flower buds only under the right conditions.
What metabolic processes enable such a long, motionless, foodless existence for the mother?
