Aquaculture has grown rapidly to play a crucial economic and social role meet the increasing global demand for seafood. As aquaculture intensifies, there is pressure find more sustainable practices that save resources reduce waste. Major wastes by-products from were quantified across full range of farming types. Key opportunities wastewater treatment by-product recovery include nutrient recycling through combination biofilters, bioaccumulation multitrophic systems. To support intensification...
Chromatin provides a tunable platform for gene expression control. Besides the well-studied core nucleosome, H1 linker histones are abundant chromatin components with intrinsic potential to influence function. Well studied in animals, little is known about evolution of function other eukaryotic lineages instance plants. Notably, model plant Arabidopsis, while heterochromatin and DNA methylation, its contribution transcription, molecular, cytological organization remains elusive. We provide...
In flowering plants, the transition from somatic to reproductive cell fate is marked by differentiation of spore mother cells (SMCs), functional equivalent animal primordial germ (PGCs). Like their counterparts, SMCs undergo extensive structural and compositional changes in chromatin, initiated loss linker histones, a stepwise process. To investigate role mechanism H1 eviction, we focused on two candidate pathways. Our findings show that specific point mutations, affecting either putative...
Elucidating the genetic and molecular control of plant reproduction often requires deployment functional approaches based on reverse or forward screens. The loss-of-function essential genes, however, may lead to lethality prior reproductive development formation sterile structures before organ-of-interest can be analyzed. In these cases, inducible that enable a spatial temporal perturbation are extremely valuable. Genetic induction in organs, such as ovule, deeply embedded flower, is...
Abstract Chromatin in eukaryotes provides a tunable platform to control gene expression and convey an epigenetic memory throughout cell divisions. H1 linker histones are abundant components with intrinsic potential influencing chromatin structure function. We detail the impact of depletion Arabidopsis on fine-scale organization, transcription development. While required for chromocenter assembly, H1s dispensable transposable element (TE) silencing peripheral positioning heterochromatin. In...
Abstract Background: Elucidating the genetic and molecular control of plant reproduction requires deployment functional approaches based, for instance, on reverse or forward screens. The loss-of-function essential genes, however, may lead to lethality prior reproductive developmentt formation sterile structures before organ-of-interest can be analysed. In these cases, inducible that enable a spatial temporal perturbation are extremely valuable. Genetic induction in organs, such as ovule,...
