Histone demethylase JMJ713 interaction with JMJ708 modulating H3K36me2, enhances rice heat tolerance through promoting hydrogen peroxide scavenging.

The Earth is currently undergoing rapid warming cause of the accumulation in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and the consequent rise in global temperatures. High temperatures can bring the effects on rice development and growth and thereby decrease rice yield. In this study, we have identified that both JMJ713 and JMJ708 possess distinct histone demethylase activities.

Grazing and precipitation addition reduces the temporal stability of aboveground biomass in a typical steppe of Chinese Loess Plateau.

Few studies on the effects of human activities and global climate change on temporal stability have considered either grazing or precipitation addition (PA). How community stability responds to the interaction between PA and grazing in a single experiment remains unknown. We studied the impact of grazing and PA on the temporal stability of communities in four years field experiment conducted in a typical steppe, adopting a randomized complete block design with grazing was the main block factor and PA was the split block factor.
