A dynamic regulome of shoot-apical-meristem-related homeobox transcription factors modulates plant architecture in maize.

Background: The shoot apical meristem (SAM), from which all above-ground tissues of plants are derived, is critical to plant morphology and development. In maize (Zea mays), loss-of-function mutant studies have identified several SAM-related genes, most encoding homeobox transcription factors (TFs), located upstream of hierarchical networks of hundreds of genes.

Results: Here, we collect 46 transcriptome and 16 translatome datasets across 62 different tissues or stages from the maize inbred line B73.

evaluation of sialylation with a dual-color imaging strategy.

This work designs a functional dendrimer probe to conveniently identify newly generated sialic acid groups with a dual-color imaging strategy, which achieves semiquantitative evaluation of the sialylation difference between tumor and normal tissues to reveal sialylation-related biological events and promote clinical tumor diagnosis.

-GlcNAcylation mapping of single living cells by quantitative SERS imaging.

-GlcNAcylation is involved in many biological processes including cancerization. Nevertheless, its quantification in single living cells is still a bottleneck. Here we develop a quantitative SERS imaging strategy for mapping the -GlcNAcylation distribution of single living cells.

Industrial polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions embodied in domestic trade in China in 2012.

Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions cause non-negligible damage to human health and well-being. Effective regional cooperation is urgently required to mitigate PAHs emissions to maintain satisfactory air quality. This study quantified and tracked China's PAHs emissions flows embodied in interprovincial trade.
