DIFFERENTIAL PHYLOGENETIC EXPANSIONS IN BAHD ACYLTRANSFERASES ACROSS FIVE ANGIOSPERM TAXA AND EVIDENCE OF DIVERGENT EXPRESSION AMONG POPULUS PARALOGUES

Differential phylogenetic expansions in BAHD acyltransferases across five angiosperm taxa and evidence of divergent expression among Populus paralogues

Abstract Background BAHD acyltransferases are involved in the synthesis and elaboration of a wide variety of secondary metabolites.Previous research has shown that characterized proteins from this family fall broadly into five crimson tint dunks major clades and contain two conserved protein motifs.Here, we aimed to expand the understanding of BAHD

Single-Cell Profiling Shows Murine Forebrain Neural Stem Cells Reacquire a Developmental State when Activated for Adult Neurogenesis

Summary: The transitions from developing to adult quiescent and activated neural 15-1 shampoo stem cells (NSCs) are not well understood.Here, we use single-cell transcriptional profiling and lineage tracing to characterize these transitions in the murine forebrain.We show that the two forebrain NSC parental populations, embryonic cortex and ganglio

How displaced migratory birds could use volatile atmospheric compounds to find their migratory corridor? A test using a particle dispersion model.

Olfaction represents an important sensory modality for navigation of both homing pigeons and wild birds.Experimental evidence in homing pigeons showed that airborne volatile compounds carried by the winds at the home area are learned in association with wind directions.When displaced, pigeons obtain information on the direction of their displacemen

A UAV-Enabled Wireless Powered Sensor Network Based on NOMA and Cooperative Relaying With Altitude Optimization

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is envisioned as a promising technology that enhances the spectrum efficiency for future cellular networks.On the other hand, there is a growing interest in wireless powered sensor networks toward the sustainable realization of Internet of Things (IoT), as they may not require any battery replacement in princip
