Global Survey and Expressions of the Phosphate Transporter Gene Families in and Their Roles in Phosphorus Response.

Phosphate (Pi) transporters play critical roles in Pi acquisition and homeostasis. However, currently little is known about these genes in oil crops. In this study, we aimed to characterize the five Pi transporter gene families (PHT1-5) in allotetraploid .

Evolutionary and Comparative Expression Analyses of TCP Transcription Factor Gene Family in Land Plants.

The plant-specific Teosinte-branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating (TCP) transcription factor genes are involved in plants' development, hormonal pathways, and stress response but their evolutionary history is uncertain. The genome-wide analysis performed here for 47 plant species revealed 535 TCP candidates in terrestrial plants and none in aquatic plants, and that TCP family genes originated early in the history of land plants. Phylogenetic analysis divided the candidate genes into Classes I and II, and Class II was further divided into CYCLOIDEA (CYC) and CINCINNATA (CIN) clades; CYC is more recent and originated from CIN in angiosperms.

Global Analysis of Transcription Factor Gene Family in Reveals Their Stress- and Hormone-Responsive Patterns.

The plant-specific () transcription factor gene family is important for plant growth and development but little studied in oil crops. We identified and characterized 58 putative genes in (s), which were divided into three major clades and nine subclades based on the gene structure and conserved motifs. Collinearity analysis revealed that most s were the products of allopolyploidization and segmental duplication events.

[Module-based analysis: deciphering pathological and pharmacological mechanisms of complex diseases and multi-target drugs].

A complex disease is rarely a consequence of abnormality in a single gene. It is known that many drugs exhibit a therapeutic effect by acting on multiple targets, produce synergies to intervene the occurrence and development of diseases. Unlike the traditional methods which act on single molecule or pathway, this disease-drug target network constructed with high throughput data vividly showed the complex relationship between drugs, their targets and diseases.

[High resolution laser transient spectroscopic technology under two-stage light gas-gun loading condition and stability study of shocked benzene].

The present paper reports the high resolution transient Raman laser testing technology under two-stage light gas-gun loading experiment, and its application to studying the Raman spectroscopy of shocked benzene. In the experiments, the frequency shift of C-C stretching vibration (992 cm(-1)) and C-H stretching vibration peak (3 061 cm(-1)) in the low pressure section (less than 8 GPa) varies linearly with the pressure, and the results agree well with reported data in the literature. The structural changes in liquid benzene about 13 GPa were clarified firstly by the Raman spectral technique; the experimental results show that at a pressure of 9.

Model based control of a rehabilitation robot for lower extremities.

This paper mainly focuses on the trajectory tracking control of a lower extremity rehabilitation robot during passive training process of patients. Firstly, a mathematical model of the rehabilitation robot is introduced by using Lagrangian analysis. Then, a model based computed-torque control scheme is designed to control the constrained four-link robot (with patient's foot fixed on robot's end-effector) to track a predefined trajectory.

An FES cycling control system based on CPG.

This paper presents a scientific strategy for cycling induced by the functional electrical stimulation. In order to simulate the FES-cycling movement produced by human body, a neuro-musculo-skeletal model containing 16 segments and 186 muscles is developed, which can simulate human movements precisely. This model contains mathematical model of electrically stimulated skeletal muscles.
