Yijun Ruan and colleagues report the draft genome of sweet orange, Citrus sinensis. Their data suggests orange originated from a cross between pummelo mandarin. Oranges are an important nutritional source for human health have immense economic value. Here we present comprehensive analysis (Citrus sinensis). The assembled sequence covers 87.3% estimated genome, which is relatively compact, as 20% composed repetitive elements. We predicted 29,445 protein-coding genes, half in heterozygous...
Abstract Significantly improved crop varieties are urgently needed to feed the rapidly growing human population under changing climates. While genome sequence information and excellent genomic tools in place for major species, systematic quantification of phenotypic traits or components thereof a high-throughput fashion remains an enormous challenge. In order help bridge genotype phenotype gap, we developed comprehensive framework data analysis plants, which enables extraction extensive list...
High-throughput phenotyping is emerging as an important technology to dissect phenotypic components in plants. Efficient image processing and feature extraction are prerequisites quantify plant growth performance based on traits. Issues include data management, analysis, result visualization of large-scale sets. Here, we present Integrated Analysis Platform (IAP), open-source framework for high-throughput phenotyping. IAP provides user-friendly interfaces, its core functions highly...
Abstract Floral homeotic transcription factors (TFs) act in a combinatorial manner to specify the organ identities flower. However, architecture and function of gene regulatory network (GRN) controlling floral specification is still poorly understood. In particular, interconnections TFs, microRNAs (miRNAs) other initiation growth have not been studied systematically so far. Here, using combination genome-wide TF binding, mRNA miRNA expression data, we reconstruct dynamic GRN meristem...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly metastatic disease refractory to all targeted and immune therapies. However, our understanding of PDAC microenvironment especially the very limited partly due inaccessibility tumor tissues. Here, we present single-cell transcriptomic landscape synchronously resected primary tumors matched liver metastases. We perform comparative analysis on both cellular composition functional phenotype between tumors. Tumor cells exhibit distinct profile...
Homoeologs are defined as homologous genes resulting from allopolyploidy. Bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, is an allohexaploid species with many homoeologs. Homoeolog expression bias, referring to the relative contribution of homoeologs transcriptome, critical for determining traits that influence wheat growth and development. Asymmetric transcription has been so far investigated in a tissue or organ-specific manner, which could be misleading due mixture cell types.
Recent methodological developments in plant phenotyping, as well the growing importance of its applications science and breeding, are resulting a fast accumulation multidimensional data. There is great potential for expediting both discovery application if these data made publicly available analysis. However, collection storage phenotypic observations not yet sufficiently governed by standards that would ensure interoperability among providers precisely link specific phenotypes associated...
Increasing grain yield is still the main target of wheat breeding; yet today's plants utilize less than half their potential. Owing to difficulty determining potential in a large population, few genetic factors regulating floret fertility (i.e. difference between and number) have been reported date. In this study, we conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) by quantifying 54 traits (16 38 for assimilate partitioning spike morphology) 210 European winter accessions. The results GWAS...
A laser phase and frequency noise measurement method by an unbalanced Michelson interferometer composed of a 3 × optical fiber coupler is proposed.

Plant phenotypic data shrouds a wealth of information which, when accurately analysed and linked to other types, brings light the knowledge about mechanisms life. As phenotyping is field research comprising manifold, diverse time-consuming experiments, findings can be fostered by reusing combining existing datasets. Their correct interpretation, thus replicability, comparability interoperability, possible provided that collected observations are equipped with an adequate set metadata. So far...
We propose a scheme for obtaining an electromagnetically induced grating in asymmetric semiconductor quantum well (QW) structure via Fano interference. In our structure, owing to interference, the diffraction intensity of grating, especially first-order diffraction, can be significantly enhanced. The efficiency controlled efficiently by tuning control field intensity, interaction length, coupling strength tunneling, etc. This investigation may used develop novel photonic devices QW systems.
Abstract Enhancers are critical for developmental stage-specific gene expression, but their dynamic regulation in plants remains poorly understood. Here we compare genome-wide localization of H3K27ac, chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic changes during flower development Arabidopsis . H3K27ac prevalently marks promoter-proximal regions, suggesting that is not a hallmark enhancers We provide computational experimental evidence to confirm distal DNase І hypersensitive sites predictive...
