Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically in the early Eocene with diversification of oak family (Fagaceae). Cooling climates over next 20 million years fostered spread temperate biomes that became increasingly dominated by oaks and their chestnut relatives. Here we use phylogenomic analyses nuclear plastid genomes to investigate timing pattern major macroevolutionary events ancient genome-wide signatures hybridization across Fagaceae. Innovation related seed dispersal is implicated...
Methylation is a prevalent posttranscriptional modification of RNAs. However, whether mammalian microRNAs are methylated unknown. Here, we show that the tRNA methyltransferase NSun2 methylates primary (pri-miR-125b), precursor (pre-miR-125b), and mature microRNA 125b (miR-125b) in vitro vivo. by inhibits processing pri-miR-125b2 into pre-miR-125b2, decreases cleavage pre-miR-125b2 miR-125, attenuates recruitment RISC thereby repressing function miR-125b silencing gene expression. Our results...
Acetylcholine (ACh) is believed to improve plant growth. However, regulation at biochemical and molecular levels largely unknown. The present study investigated the impact of exogenously applied ACh (10 µm) on growth chlorophyll metabolism in hydroponically grown Nicotiana benthamiana under salt stress (150 mm NaCl). Salinity reduced root hydraulic conductivity while ACh-treated seedlings exhibited a significant increase, resulting increased relative water content. induced reduction...
Understanding the evolutionary processes that shape landscape of genetic variation and influence response species to future climate change is critical for biodiversity conservation. Here, we sampled 27 populations across distribution range a dominant forest tree, Quercus acutissima, in East Asia, applied genome-wide analyses track history predict fate under climate. We found two groups (East West) Q. acutissima diverged during Pliocene. also heterogeneous genomic this species, which may have...
The outbreeding floral polymorphism heterostyly frequently breaks down, resulting in the evolution of self-fertilization as a result homostyle formation. Here, loss distylous Primula oreodoxa, sub-alpine species restricted to western Sichuan, China, was examined by investigating ecological correlates and genetic consequences mating system transitions. Several key questions were addressed. (1) What are frequencies, geographical distribution reproductive characteristics morphs homostylous...
EGFR is required for animal development, and dysregulation of critically implicated in malignant transformation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying regulation expression remains poorly explored. Here we report that zinc-finger protein ZNF516 a transcription repressor. physically associated with CtBP/LSD1/CoREST complex transcriptionally represses cohort genes including are involved cell proliferation motility. We demonstrate ZNF516-CtBP/LSD1/CoREST inhibits invasion breast cancer...
Auxin regulates plant growth and development, as well helps plants to survive abiotic stresses, but the effects of auxin on alkaline-stressed rice underlying molecular physiological mechanisms remain unknown. Through exogenous application IAA/TIBA, this study explored alkaline stress tolerance enhancement using two genotypes. Alkaline was observed damage growth, while IAA mitigates alkaline-stress-induce inhibition growth. After rice, dry shoot biomass, foliar chlorophyll content,...
SU4312, a potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), has been designed to treat cancer. Recent studies have suggested that SU4312 can also be useful in treating neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we assessed neuroprotection by against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+) )-induced neurotoxicity further explored the underlying mechanisms.MPP(+) -treated neurons 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated zebrafish were used study SU4312. NOS...
Faithful transmission or restoration of epigenetic information such as repressive histone modifications through generations is critical for the maintenance cell identity. We report here that chromodomain Y-like protein (CDYL), a chromodomain-containing transcription corepressor, physically associated with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) and replicative helicase MCM complex. showed CDYL bridges CAF-1 MCM, facilitating transfer deposition during DNA replication. demonstrated recruits...
Insect pollination in basal angiosperms is assumed to mostly involve ‘generalized' insects looking for food, but direct observations of ANITA grade (283 species) pollinators are sparse. We present new data numerous Schisandraceae, the largest family, from fieldwork, nocturnal filming, electron microscopy, barcoding and molecular clocks infer pollinator/plant interactions over multiple years at sites throughout China test extent pollinator specificity. Schisandraceae pollinated by gall midges...
Abstract As one of the major concerns climate change, identifying a proper eco‐friendly insulation gas for replacing sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) becomes prominent research topic in recent years. c‐C 4 F 8 , CF 3 I, C 5 10 O, 12 O and 7 N are some potential alternatives that proved to have excellent characteristics, including high strengths low Global Warming Potentials (GWPs). Beyond these key factors, decomposition products closely related gases' performance, as well safety operators...
Heterostyly, a plant sexual polymorphism controlled by the S-locus supergene, has evolved numerous times among angiosperm lineages and represents classic example of convergent evolution in form function. Determining whether underlying molecular convergence occurs could provide insights on constraints to floral evolution. Here, we investigated genes distylous Gelsemium (Gelsemiaceae) determine there is evidence with unrelated species. We used several approaches, including anatomical...
Reproductive systems of flowering plants are evolutionarily fluid, with mating patterns changing in response to shifts abiotic conditions, pollination systems, and population characteristics. Changes should be particularly evident species sexual polymorphisms that become ecologically destabilized, promoting transitions alternative reproductive systems. Here, we decompose female portfolios (incidence selfing, outcross mate number, intermorph mating) eight populations Primula oreodoxa, a...
In irrigated agriculture, the combination of multiple regulation measures is an effective method to improve saline soil and promote crop growth. Magnetized ionized water irrigation considered a promising activation technique, while use Bacillus subtilis for amelioration environmentally friendly. this study, magnetized B. were used cotton growth under film-mulched drip (FMDI) in soil. A two-year field experiment was conducted investigate effects differing amounts two types...
