Title: The basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor Crf1 is required for development and pathogenicity of the rice blast fungus by regulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism SummaryPyricularia oryzae is a plant pathogen causing rice blast, a serious disease spreading in cultivated rice globally. Transcription factors play important regulatory roles in fungal development and pathogen...

Title: The importance of accounting for imperfect detection when estimating functional and phylogenetic community structure Abstract: Incorporating imperfect detection when estimating species richness has become commonplace in the past decade. However, the question of how imperfect detection of species affects estimates of functional and phylogenetic community structure remains unte...

Title: Larger fragments have more late-successional species of woody plants than smaller fragments after 50 years of secondary succession Summary1. Most fragmentation research focuses on the effects of carving up old‐growth forests, but less is known about influences of habitat fragmentation on secondary succession in patches of regenerating forests.2. Working with forest dynamics on isl...

Title: LncRNACamK-A Regulates Ca2+ Signaling-Mediated Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling SummaryCancer cells entail metabolic adaptation and microenvironmental remodeling to survive and progress. Both calcium (Ca2+) flux and Ca2+-dependent signaling play a crucial role in this process, although the underlying mechanism has yet to be elucidated. Through RNA screening, we identified one lon...

Title: Inferring spatial patterns and drivers of population divergence of Neolitsea sericea (Lauraceae), based on molecular phylogeography and landscape genomics AbstractThe relative roles of geography, climate and ecology in driving population divergence and (incipient) speciation has so far been largely neglected in studies addressing the evolution of East Asia’s island flora. Here, w...

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 ...
