Summary Flowering time is a major determinant of the local adaptation plants. Although numerous loci affecting flowering have been mapped in maize, their underlying molecular mechanisms and roles remain largely unknown. Here, we report identification characterization MADS ‐box transcription factor Zm 69 that functions as activator through ZmRap2.7‐ ZCN 8 regulatory module contributes to adaptation. We show underlies quantitative trait locus controlling difference between maize its wild...
Determining the genetic control of root system architecture (RSA) in plants via large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) requires high-throughput pipelines for phenotyping. We developed Core Root Excavation using Compressed-air (CREAMD), a pipeline cleaning field-grown roots, and Feature Extraction (COFE), semiautomated extraction RSA traits from images. CREAMD-COFE was applied to diversity panels maize (Zea mays) sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), which consisted 369 294 genotypes,...
Only little is known about target genes of auxin signalling downstream the Aux/IAA-ARF module. In present study, it has been demonstrated that maize lateral root primordia 1 (lrp1) encodes a transcriptional activator directly regulated by Aux/IAA protein ROOTLESS WITH UNDETECTABLE MERISTEM (RUM1). Expression lrp1 confined to early and meristems auxin-inducible. Based on its primary structure, LRP1 predicted be transcription factor. This notion supported exclusive localization in nucleus...
Regularly conducted exercise programs effectively influence affective states. Studies suggest that this is also true for short bouts of physical activity (PA) 10 min or less. Accordingly, everyday life activities duration might be used to regulate However, association has rarely been studied in reference unstructured ongoing real-life situations. The current study examined the various on three dimensions mood (valence, calmness, energetic arousal) a predominantly inactive sample. Ambulatory...
Limitations in physical activity are considered as a key problem patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Contemporary methods to assess the level of PwMS regular clinical observation. However, these either rely on high recall and accurate reporting from (e.g. self-report questionnaires), or they conducted during particular assessment predefined activities. Therefore, main aim this pilot study was develop an objective method gather information about real type intensity daily activities...

Acute and regular exercise as well physical activity (PA) is related to well-being positive affect. Recent studies have shown that even daily, unstructured activities increase However, the attempt achieve adherence PA or in inactive people through public health interventions has often been unsuccessful. Most analyzing activity-affect association daily life, did not report participants' habitual behavior. Thus, samples included active people, but they necessarily exhibit same affective...
Regular exercise and physical activity are among the most important factors influencing quality of life make a significant contribution to maintenance health well-being. The assessment via accelerometry has become promising technique often used as means objectively measure activity. This work proposes simple reliable method assess human calculate energy expenditure (EE) by using an acceleration air pressure sensor. Our proposed algorithm differentiates between 7 activities with average...
Stress is one of the most common reasons for a number serious diseases. For prevention and treatment stress, psycho-physiological monitoring system stress measurement needed. Because multifarious influences on physiological response body, has to take into account as many parameters possible. The pulse transit time (PTT), which determined by measuring ECG wave at example finger, gives comprehensive information about cardiovascular system. In study we investigate correlation between PTT...

The maize (Zea mays L.) Aux/IAA protein RUM1 (ROOTLESS WITH UNDETECTABLE MERISTEM 1) is a key regulator of lateral and seminal root formation. An ancient genome duplication resulted in the emergence its homeolog rum1-like1 (rul1), which displays 92% amino acid sequence identity with RUM1. Both, RUL1 exhibit canonical four domain structure proteins. Moreover, both are localized to nucleus, instable have similar short half-lives ~23min. can be stabilized by specific mutations five degron II....
Root hairs are tubular extensions of epidermis cells. Transcriptome profiling demonstrated that the single cell-type root hair transcriptome was less complex than multiple primary roots without hairs. In total, 831 genes were exclusively and 5585 preferentially expressed in [false discovery rate (FDR) ≤1%]. Among those, most significantly enriched Gene Ontology (GO) functional terms related to energy metabolism, highlighting high demand for development function Subsequently, maize homologs...

We propose algorithm, which predicts gait based body accelerations measured right side hip tri-axial accelerometer. Based classified energy estimated. After...
Abstract Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has reduced the energy consumption for sensor nodes drastically. One major reason this improvement is a non-continuous connection between nodes. But causes also nondeterministic data transmission time. Most synchronization protocols are influenced by characteristic, with result of less accuracy. In wireless body networks accuracy often vital importance. Therefore paper evaluates different principles customized BLE. For evaluation measurements we used two...
