Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on subtilisin-like proteases (SBTs), a unique family of serine peptidases found in plants, specifically analyzing them in cotton for the first time.
- Through bioinformatics, the study identified 120 SBTs in upland cotton (G. hirsutum) and grouped them into five subfamilies, while also noting SBT counts in other cotton species.
- The gene GhSBT27A was identified and studied, revealing its role in the plant's response to drought stress, setting the stage for further exploration of drought mechanisms in cotton.
Spatial Variation of Leaf Chlorophyll in Northern Hemisphere Grasslands.
Front Plant Sci
August 2020
Chlorophyll is the molecular basis for the function of photosystems and is also a promising tool for ecological prediction. However, the large-scale patterns of chlorophyll variation in grasslands remain poorly understood. We performed consistent measurements of chlorophyll , , +, and the : ratio (chlorophyll ) for 421 species across northern hemisphere grassland transects, recorded their distributions, variations, and influencing factors, and examined their relationships with leaf nitrogen.

In this work, we propose to use the statistical internal cluster validation indexes to determine the optimal number of CG sites that are optimized based on the essential dynamics coarse-graining method. The calculated curves of Calinski-Harabasz and Silhouette Coefficient indexes exhibit the extrema corresponding to the similar CG numbers.
