Abstract This article documents the addition of 83 microsatellite marker loci and 96 pairs single‐nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Bembidion lampros, Inimicus japonicus, Lymnaea stagnalis, Panopea abbreviata, Pentadesma butyracea, Sycoscapter hirticola Thanatephorus cucumeris anamorph : Rhizoctonia solani) . These cross‐tested on grandifolia reyndersii also primer 88 allele‐specific or...
Fig pollinating wasps form obligate symbioses with their fig hosts. This mutualism arose approximately 75 million years ago. Unlike many other intimate symbioses, which involve vertical transmission of symbionts to host offspring, female fly great distances transfer horizontally between In contrast, male are wingless and cannot disperse. Symbionts that keep contact hosts often show genome reduction, but it is not clear if the wide dispersal will counteract this general tendency. We sequenced...
The ways that plant-feeding insects have diversified are central to our understanding of terrestrial ecosystems. Obligate nursery pollination mutualisms provide highly relevant model systems how plants and their insect associates the over 800 species fig trees (Ficus) allow comparative studies. Fig can one or more pollinating wasp (Agaonidae) breed within figs, but factors influencing number remain be established. In some widely distributed trees, form populations isolated by large swathes...
Abstract Background Primula species are important early spring garden plants with a centre of diversity and speciation in the East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains Western China. Studies on population genetics, phylogeny have been impeded by lack genomic resources. In present study, we sequenced transcriptomes two closely related primrose species, poissonii wilsonii, using short reads Illumina Genome Analyzer platform. Results We obtained 55,284 55,011 contigs N50 values 938 1,085 for P. wilsonii...
The Arabidopsis ovate family proteins (AtOFPs) have been shown to function as transcriptional repressors and regulate multiple aspects of plant growth development. There are 31 genes that encode the full-length OVATE-domain containing in rice genome. In this study, gene structure analysis revealed OsOFPs intron poor. Phylogenetic suggested OVATE from rice, tomato can be divided into 4 groups (I-IV). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) identified with different...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent respiratory disease. Aiming at assessing the effect of total saponins from American ginseng on COPD, both chemical composition and anti-COPD activity wild-simulated (TSW) field-grown (TSF) were investigated in this study. Firstly, HPLC-ELSD chromatographic method was established to simultaneously determine contents 22 TSW TSF. Secondly, CS-induced COPD mouse model evaluate The results indicated that TSF had protective against by...
The obligate pollination mutualism between figs (Ficus, Moraceae) and pollinator wasps (Agaonidae, Hymenoptera) is a classic example of cospeciation. However, examples phylogenetic incongruencies their pollinators suggest that may speciate by host shifting. To investigate the mechanism speciation shifting, we examined relationships population genetic structures six closely related fig species from southern China Taiwan-Ryukyu islands using various molecular markers. results revealed 1) an...
In flying insects, there is frequently a lack of congruence between empirical estimates local demographic parameters and the prediction that differentiation populations should decrease with increasing dispersal, puzzling phenomenon known as Slatkin's Paradox. Here, we generalize Paradox to other taxa, drawing from available information on dispersal predict relative importance pollen vs. seed migration in structuring broad-scale patterns genetic variation Ficus hirta, dioecious fig whose...
Abstract Historical abiotic factors such as climatic oscillations and extreme events well biotic have shaped the structuring of species' genetic diversity. In obligate species‐specific mutualisms, biogeographic histories interacting species are tightly linked. This could be particularly true for nuclear genes in Ficus ‐pollinating wasp mutualistic association insects disperse pollen from their natal tree. this study, we compare spatial structure plant pollinator hirta – Valisia javana...
78% of the Three River Source Region (TRSR) is covered by grassland, understanding future variations in grassland growth fundamental to ecological barrier security. Many advanced land surface models have incorporated vegetation modules, but rarely current considered differential pasture and toxic weeds, which quite different roles altering energy water cycles. To represent for we performed a global parameter sensitivity analysis Community Land Model (CLM5) based on eFAST algorithm calibrated...
Summary The NIMA‐related kinases (NEKs) are a family of serine/threonine involved largely in cell cycle control fungi, mammals and other eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis, NEK6 is the regulation epidermal morphogenesis. However, roles plants less well understood. Here we report functions plant growth, development stress responses Arabidopsis. transcripts proteins induced by ethylene precursor ACC salt stress. Expression NEK genes except NEK5 also responsive to two treatments. Overexpression mutant...
This study uses a phylogeographic approach to investigate how interspecific interactions in an obligate pollination mutualism enhance or constrain dispersal and the range distributions of species through time. Fifteen populations Ficus hirta, bird-dispersed fig pollinated by species-specific wasp, were sampled from Thailand northern limits tropical forest China. These assayed for six nuclear microsatellite loci two intergenic chloroplast DNA sequences. Analyses expansion genetic clustering...
Abstract The transportation of plants and insects between countries often has negative consequences, but also provides opportunities to study community processes. Fig trees are a species‐rich group largely tropical subtropical plants, characterised by their unusual inflorescences (figs). Ficus microcarpa is native Asia Australasia frequently planted elsewhere. Widespread introductions its pollinator fig wasp, Eupristina verticillata , have allowed the tree reproduce become increasingly...
Severe asthenoteratozoospermia, a prevalent cause of male infertility, has increasingly been associated with ARMC2 variants that Multiple Morphological Abnormalities the Sperm Flagella (MMAF). Although is also expressed in other ciliary structures, no studies have yet reported link between gene and symptoms Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on Chinese subjects MMAF to identify potential genetic variants. Sanger was used validate candidate...
Transcription factors of the FoxO (forkhead box O) family regulate a wide range cellular physiological processes, including metabolic adaptation and myogenic differentiation. The transcriptional activity most members is inhibitory to differentiation overexpression FoxO1 inhibits development oxidative type I fibres in vivo. In this study, we found that FoxO6, last discovered member, expressed ubiquitously various tissues but with higher expression levels tissues, such as brain muscles. Both...
Figs are the inflorescences of fig trees (Ficus spp., Moraceae). They shaped like a hollow ball, lined on their inner surface by numerous tiny female flowers. Pollination is carried out host-specific wasps (Agaonidae). Female pollinators enter figs through narrow entrance gate and once inside can walk around platform generated stigmas lay eggs into ovules, via styles, also gall flowers, causing ovules to expand pedicels elongate. A single pollinator larva develops in each galled ovule....

Aim: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive triple-negative breast cancer recurrence via their properties of self-renewal, invasiveness and radio/chemotherapy resistance. This study examined how CSCs might sustain these properties. Materials & methods: Transcriptomes, DNA methylomes histone modifications were compared between non CSCs. Results: Transcriptome analysis revealed several pathways that activated in CSCs, whereas cell cycle regulation inhibited. Cell development signaling genes...

Host specificity among pollinator fig wasps (Agaonidae) depends on host plant specific volatile cues, but must also pass through a narrow physical barrier (the ostiole) if they are to pollinate and oviposit. Across South East Asia the dioecious shrub Ficus hirta is associated with at least ten species allied Valisia javana. triloba has single recorded pollinator, esquirolianae. Receptive figs of F. usually much smaller than those triloba, mainland site where atypically large we identified...
