Phylogenomic Analyses Indicate that Early Fungi Evolved Digesting Cell Walls of Algal Ancestors of Land Plants

Creator:: Chang, Ying, Wang, Sishuo, Sekimoto, Satoshi, Aerts, Andrea L., Choi, Cindy, Clum, Alicia, LaButti, Kurt M., Lindquist, Erika A., Ngan, Chew Yee, Ohm, Robin A., Salamov, Asaf A., Grigoriev, Igor V., Spatafora, Joseph W., and Berbee, Mary L.
Abstract:: As decomposers, fungi are key players in recycling plant material in global carbon cycles. We hypothesized that genomes of early diverging fungi may have inherited pectinases from an ancestral species that had been able to extract nutrients from pectin-containing land plants and their algal allies (Streptophytes). We aimed to infer,...

Latent homology and convergent regulatory evolution underlies the repeated emergence of yeasts

Creator:: Nagy, László G., Ohm, Robin A., Kovács, Gábor M., Floudas, Dimitrios, Riley, Robert, Gácser, Attila, Sipiczki, Mátyás, Davis, John M., Doty, Sharon L., de Hoog, G Sybren, Lang, B. Franz, Spatafora, Joseph W., Martin, Francis M., Grigoriev, Igor V., and Hibbett, David S.
Abstract:: Convergent evolution is common throughout the tree of life, but the molecular mechanisms causing similar phenotypes to appear repeatedly are obscure. Yeasts have arisen in multiple fungal clades, but the genetic causes and consequences of their evolutionary origins are unknown. Here we show that the potential to develop yeast forms...

Influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on life history expression in steelhead and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Ohms, Haley A., Sloat, Matthew R., Reeves, Gordon H., Jordan, Chris E., and Dunham, Jason B.
Abstract:: In partially migratory species, such as Oncorhynchus mykiss, the emergence of life history phenotypes is often attributed to fitness trade-offs associated with growth and survival. Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O....

Creator:: Filotas, Elise, Parrott, Lael, Burton, Philip J., Chazdon, Robin L., Coates, K. David, Coll, Lluis, Haeussler, Sybille, Martin, Kathy, Nocentini, Susanna, Puettmann, Klaus J., Putz, Francis E., Simard, Suzanne W., and Messier, Christian
Abstract:: Complex systems science provides a transdisciplinary framework to study systems characterized by (1) heterogeneity, (2) hierarchy, (3) self‐organization, (4) openness, (5) adaptation, (6) memory, (7) non‐linearity, and (8) uncertainty. Complex systems thinking has inspired both theory and applied strategies for improving ecosystem resilience and adaptability, but applications in forest ecology...

Nomenclature report on rice WRKY’s - Conflict regarding gene names and its solution

Creator:: Shen, Qingxi J., Yu, Diqiu, Jeon, Jong-Seong, Piffanelli, Pietro, Abbruscato, Pamela, Guo, Ze-Jian, Zhang, Yuanji, Itoh, Takeshi, Lee, Sung S., Buell, C. Robin, Nagato, Yasuo, McCouch, Susan, Yano, Masahiro, Wang, Guo-liang, Jena, Kshirod K., Xiong, Lizhong, Meyers, Blake, Jaiswal, Pankaj, and Yamazaki, Yukiko
Abstract:: Background: Since whole genome sequences of rice were made publically accessible, the number of articles on new rice genes has increased remarkably. The Committee on Gene Symbolization, Nomenclature and Linkage (CGSNL) of the Rice Genetics Cooperative published the gene nomenclature system for rice and encouraged researchers to follow the rules...

Gramene 2013: comparative plant genomics resources

Creator:: Monaco, Marcela K., Stein, Joshua, Naithani, Sushma, Wei, Sharon, Dharmawardhana, Palitha, Kumari, Sunita, Amarasinghe, Vindhya, Youens-Clark, Ken, Thomason, James, Preece, Justin, Pasternak, Shiran, Olson, Andrew, Jiao, Yinping, Lu, Zhenyuan, Bolser, Dan, Kerhornou, Arnaud, Staines, Dan, Walts, Brandon, Wu, Guanming, D'Eustachio, Peter, Haw, Robin, Croft, David, Kersey, Paul J., Stein, Lincoln, Jaiswal, Pankaj, and Ware, Doreen
Abstract:: Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is a curated online resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species, currently hosting 27 fully and 10 partially sequenced reference genomes in its build number 38. Its strength derives from the application of a phylogenetic framework for genome comparison and the use of ontologies...

Abstract:: The Clouds, Aerosol, and Precipitation in the Marine Boundary Layer (CAP-MBL) deployment at Graciosa Island in the Azores generated a 21-month (April 2009–December 2010) comprehensive dataset documenting clouds, aerosols, and precipitation using the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) Mobile Facility (AMF). The scientific aim of the deployment is to gain...

Elliptic-Parabolic Equations with Hysteresis Boundary Conditions

Creator:: Hornung, Ulrich and Showalter, R. E.
Abstract:: A general porous-medium equation is uniquely solved subject to a pair of boundary conditions for the trace of the solution and a second function on the boundary. The use of maximal monotone graphs for the three nonlinearities permits not only the inclusion of the usual boundary conditions of Dirichlet, Neumann,...

The development of pH and pCO2 microelectrodes for studying the carbonate chemistry of pore waters near the sediment-water interface

Creator:: Cai, Wei-Jun and Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: We made stable and rapid-responding pH and pCO2 microelectrodes. The pH microelectrode has a ~100-μm-diameter half-sphere bulb tip of pH glass, and the pCO2 sensor has a 200–300-μm-diameter silicone-membrane covered tip. Because the pH microelectrodes have electrical resistances that arc > 1O[to the tenth] ohms, all electrical connections are kept...
