Previous studies have suggested that Dense and Erect Panicle 1 (DEP1) interacts with Lose Plant Architecture 1 (LPA1) to regulate auxin transport by which DEP1-LPA1 modulates rice sheath blight (ShB) resistance. In this study, we identified that dep1 and lpa1 exhibited semi-dwarfism and dep1/lpa1 was shorter than the single mutant. LPA1 OX displayed higher height, whereas DEP1 OX exhibited similar height with wild-type. The gibberellic acid (GA)-dependent shoot growth was inhibited in dep1 and lpa1 while activated in LPA1 OX, suggesting that LPA1 may play a role in GA signaling transduction. Yeast two-hybrid screening revealed that slender rice 1 (SLR1), a GA signaling negative regulator, interacted with LPA1. Additionally, slr1 was less susceptible to ShB, whereas the GA signaling positive regulator DWARF1 mutant d1 was more susceptible to ShB. This suggested that GA signaling positively regulates rice resistance to ShB. Furthermore, slr1 was similar to LPA1 OX in terms of reduced lamina joint angle, whereas d1 did not show any difference. This implied that SLR1 may regulate LPA1 dependent signaling to control the lamina joint angle via a mechanism that was independent of GA signaling. Transcriptome data indicated that GA signaling and catabolic genes were regulated by LPA1. Transient and ChIP assays suggested that LPA1 bound to the promoter of gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase, a GA catabolic gene, to activate its expression. These findings indicated that LPA1 modulated GA homeostasis and SLR1 interacted with and inhibited LPA1 to regulate ShB resistance and lamina joint angle in rice.

Immune profiling of the macroenvironment in colorectal cancer unveils systemic dysfunction and plasticity of immune cells.

Background: Tumour immune macroenvironment is comprised of tumour and surrounding organs responding to tumourigenesis and immunotherapy. The lack of comprehensive analytical methods hinders its application for prediction of survival and treatment response in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

Methods: Cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and RNA-seq was applied to characterise immune cell heterogeneity in a discovery cohort including tumour, blood and intestinal architecture comprising epithelium, lamina propria, submucosa, muscularis propria of normal bowel and tumour-adjacent bowel tissues.

Introduction: The brainstem vestibular nuclei neurons receive synaptic inputs from inner ear acceleration-sensing hair cells, cerebellar output neurons, and ascending signals from spinal proprioceptive-related neurons. The lateral (LVST) and medial (MVST) vestibulospinal (VS) tracts convey their coded signals to the spinal circuits to rapidly counter externally imposed perturbations to facilitate stability and provide a framework for self-generated head movements.

Methods: The present study describes the morphological characteristics of intraaxonally recorded and labeled VS neurons monosynaptically connected to the 8th nerve.

Articular malalignment and ulnocarpal impaction can progress to osteoarthritis in the wrist. This may be triggered by tears of the scapholunate ligament (rarely the lunotriquetral ligament) or the foveal lamina of the triangular fibrocartilage complex. In the pre-degenerative stages, radiographic findings are inconclusive, and symptoms may be absent or discrete.

Leaf angle is a major agronomic trait that determines plant architecture, which directly affects rice planting density, photosynthetic efficiency, and yield. The plant phytohormones brassinosteroids (BRs) and the MAPK signaling cascade are known to play crucial roles in regulating leaf angle, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we report a rice WRKY family transcription factor gene, OsWRKY72, which positively regulates leaf angle by affecting lamina joint development and BR signaling.
