Wood formation is controlled by transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) involving homeostasis determined combinations of transcription factor (TF)-DNA and TF-TF interactions. Functions interactions in wood are still the early stages identification. PtrMYB074 a woody dicot-specific TF TRN for Populus trichocarpa. Here, using yeast two-hybrid bimolecular fluorescence complementation, we conducted genome-wide screening interactors identified 54 PtrMYB074-TF pairs. Of these pairs, 53 novel....
A diffraction grating is proposed by periodically defining the liquid-crystal director distribution to form alternate parallel aligned and twist nematic regions in a cell placed between two crossed polarizers. Based on combined phase amplitude modulation, both 1D 2D tunable gratings are demonstrated.

The self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles into ordered structures induced by liquid crystals (LCs) shows great promise for innovative electric–optic devices. However, the large size is a challenge realizing highly assemblies. In this work, micrometer-long silver nanowires (AgNWs) are dispersed in nematic LC host, leading to nanowire orientation that orthogonal director. align inside an cell with rubbed alignment layers, achieving order parameter exceeding 0.9. addition, AgNWs micro...
A small subgroup of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) exhibit molecular features similar to those two-cell embryos (2C). However, it remains elusive whether 2C-like and 2C share epigenetic features. Here, we map the genome-wide profiles histone H3K4me3 H3K27me3 in cells. We found that majority genes inherit their status from ESCs. Among showing a switch methylation during transitions, only number acquire 2C-embryo signatures. In contrast, broad domains display extensive loss Most differentially...
Zinc absorption in intestinal system could be strongly affected by the gastrointestinal digestion and of zinc-chelating peptides serving as zinc carriers. In this study, a novel sea cucumber synthetic peptide (SCSP) was synthesized to estimate its promotive effect vitro.Analysis isothermal titration calorimetry suggested that binding SCSP (N ≈ 1) exothermic, with relatively weak affinity (K = 1.0 × 10-3 mol L-1 ). The formation SCSP-Zn complexes brought morphological changes confirmed...

It is very difficult to make a liquid crystal display (LCD) that flexible. However, for an optically re-writable LCD (ORWLCD), only the spacers and substrates need be flexible because driving unit are separate there no electronics in part of ORWLCD. In this paper, three flexible-spacer methods proposed achieve goal. A cholesteric colored mirror with polarizer behind it used as reflective backboard Polyethersulfone cell insensitive mechanical force.

Abundantly expressed factors in the oocyte cytoplasm can remarkably reprogram terminally differentiated germ cells or somatic into totipotent state within a short time. However, mechanism of different underlying reprogramming process remains uncertain.On basis Yamanaka OSKM induction method, MEF were induced and reprogrammed iPSCs under conditions oocyte-derived factor Wdr82 overexpression and/or knockdown, so as to assess efficiency. Meanwhile, cellular metabolism was monitored evaluated...

The METTL3-METTL14 complex, the "writer" of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), plays an important role in many biological processes. Previous studies have shown that Mettl3 overexpression can increase level m6A and promote somatic cell reprogramming.
