Title: High beta diversity among small islands is due to environmental heterogeneity rather than ecological drift AbstractAimsBoth ecological drift and environmental heterogeneity can produce high beta diversity among communities, but only the effect of drift is expected to be enhanced in communities of small size. Few studies have explicitly tested the influence of community size on pat...

Title: Chromatin remodeling factor CHR18 interacts with replication protein RPA1A to regulate the DNA replication stress response in Arabidopsis SummaryDNA replication is a fundamental process for the faithful transmission of genetic information in all living organisms. Many endogenous and environmental signals impede fork progression during DNA synthesis, which induces replication error...

Title: Duplication of a Pks gene cluster and subsequent functional diversification facilitate environmental adaptation in Metarhizium species AbstractThe ecological importance of the duplication and diversification of gene clusters that synthesize secondary metabolites in fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the duplication and subsequent diversification of a gene ...

Title: Stress-induced pyruvate accumulation contributes to cross protection in a fungus SummaryIt is commonly observed that microorganisms subjected to a mild stress develop tolerance not only to higher doses of the same stress but also to other stresses – a phenomenon called cross protection. The mechanisms for cross protection have not been fully revealed. Here, we report that heat sho...

Title: JMJD1B Demethylates H4R3me2s and H3K9me2 to Facilitate Gene Expression for Development of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells SUMMARYThe arginine methylation status of histones dynamically changes during many cellular processes, including hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) development. The arginine methyltransferases and the readers that transduce the histone codes have...

Title: Aggravated gut inflammation in mice lacking the taste signaling protein α-gustducin AbstractInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a debilitating immune-related condition that affects over 1.4 million Americans. Recent studies indicate that taste receptor signaling is involved in much more than sensing food flavor, and taste receptors have been localized in a variety of extra-oral t...

Title: Active photosynthetic inhibition mediated by MPK3/MPK6 is critical to effector-triggered immunity AbstractExtensive research revealed tremendous details about how plants sense pathogen effectors during effector-triggered immunity (ETI). However, less is known about downstream signaling events. In this report, we demonstrate that prolonged activation of MPK3 and MPK6, two Arabidops...
