Arabidopsis OXIDATIVE STRESS 3 enhances stress tolerance in Schizosaccharomyces pombe by promoting histone subunit replacement that upregulates drug-resistant genes.

Histone replacement in chromatin-remodeling plays an important role in eukaryotic gene expression. New histone variants replacing their canonical counterparts often lead to a change in transcription, including responses to stresses caused by temperature, drought, salinity, and heavy metals. In this study, we describe a chromatin-remodeling process triggered by eviction of Rad3/Tel1-phosphorylated H2Aα, in which a heterologous plant protein AtOXS3 can subsequently bind fission yeast HA2.

Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification to rapidly detect .

(RRSV) is a very important virus that infects rice and causes serious yield losses in Asian countries and other major rice planting areas. Thus, it is urgent to establish an efficient and practical approach for identification and diagnosis in the field. Our results indicated that reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) reactions are more efficient and sensitive than RT-PCR for RRSV detection.
