Local Application of Acibenzolar--Methyl Treatment Induces Antiviral Responses in Distal Leaves of .

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense mechanism that provides protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens in distal tissues. Recent studies have revealed a concerted function of salicylic acid (SA) and -hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) in the establishment of SAR against bacterial pathogens, but it remains unknown whether NHP is also involved in SAR against viruses. We found that the local application of acibenzolar--methyl (ASM), a synthetic analog of SA, suppressed plantago asiatica mosaic virus (PlAMV) infection in the distal leaves of .

Visualization of mitophagy using LysoKK, a 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-(arylpropyl)benzylamine derivative.

7-Nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) is an environmentally responsive fluorophore. We have reported that GIF2114 and GIF2115, anti-ferroptotic N,N-dimethylaniline-compounds, localize to lysosome when they are visualized by NBD. Here we show that the NBD fluorescence of GIF2259, a hybrid derivative of GIF2114 and GIF2115, was quenched in aqueous buffer.

Latent 3D Volume for Joint Depth Estimation and Semantic Segmentation from a Single Image.

This paper proposes a novel 3D representation, namely, a latent 3D volume, for joint depth estimation and semantic segmentation. Most previous studies encoded an input scene (typically given as a 2D image) into a set of feature vectors arranged over a 2D plane. However, considering the real world is three-dimensional, this 2D arrangement reduces one dimension and may limit the capacity of feature representation.
