Somatic polyploidy caused by endoreplication is observed in arthropods, molluscs, and vertebrates but especially prominent higher plants, where it has been postulated to be essential for cell growth fate maintenance. However, a comprehensive understanding of the physiological significance plant endopolyploidy remained elusive. Here, we modeled experimentally verified high-resolution DNA endoploidy map developing Arabidopsis thaliana root, revealing remarkable spatiotemporal control levels...
Domestic sheep and their wild relatives harbor substantial genetic variants that can form the backbone of molecular breeding, but genome landscapes remain understudied. Here, we present a comprehensive resource for ovine species, landraces improved breeds domestic sheep, comprising high-coverage (∼16.10×) whole genomes 810 samples from 7 species 158 diverse populations. We detected, in total, ∼121.2 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, ∼61 which are novel. Some display significant (P <...
Abstract Plant roots possess remarkable regenerative potential owing to their ability replenish damaged or lost stem cells. ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 115 (ERF115), one of the key molecular elements linked this potential, plays a predominant role in activation cell divisions. However, downstream operating machinery driving wound-activated division is largely unknown. Here, we biochemically and genetically identified GRAS-domain transcription factor SCARECROW-LIKE 5 (SCL5) as an interaction...
Regeneration serves as a self-protective mechanism that allows tissue or organ to recover its entire form and function after suffering damage. However, the regenerative capacity varies greatly within plant kingdom. Primitive plants frequently display an amazing ability they have developed complex system strategy for long-term survival under extreme stress conditions. The of dicot species is highly variable, but monocots often exhibits recalcitrance replenishment. Recent studies revealed key...
The phloem, located within the vascular system, is critical for delivery of nutrients and signaling molecules throughout plant body. Although morphological process several factors regulating phloem differentiation have been reported, molecular mechanism underlying its initiation remains largely unknown. Here, we report that small peptide-coding gene, CLAVATA 3 (CLV3)/EMBEYO SURROUNDING REGION 25 (CLE25), expression which begins in provascular initial cells 64-cell-staged embryos, continues...
Abstract Background Sheep and goats have undergone domestication improvement to produce similar phenotypes, which been greatly impacted by structural variants (SVs). Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of Asiatic mouflon, implement comprehensive analysis SVs in 897 genomes worldwide wild domestic populations sheep reveal genetic signatures underlying convergent evolution. Results We characterize the SV landscapes terms diversity, chromosomal distribution their...
Abstract Quiescent centre (QC) cells represent an integral part of the root stem cell niche. They typically display a low division frequency that has been reported to be controlled by hormone signaling and different regulators, including ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 115 (ERF115) transcription factor D-type cyclins. Here, we applied three-dimensional (3D) imaging visualize Arabidopsis QC number, volume patterns, visualization anticlinal divisions cannot deduced from longitudinal 2D imaging. We...
The Mycotrim-GU (Hana Biologics, Berkeley, Calif.) biphasic culture system and a conventional were compared for their ability to detect Ureaplasma urealyticum Mycoplasma species in 100 clinical specimens. Both systems detected 18 spp. isolates. average colony detection time was 1.9 days with the 2.3 system. agar all 33 U. isolates recovered study, 31. In addition from agar, there several specimens that, although they did not grow colonies on gave an alkaline broth change. Of these specimens,...
