The impacts of wavelengths in 500-600 nm on plant response and their underlying mechanisms remain elusive and required further investigation. Here, we investigated the effect of light quality on leaf area growth, biomass, pigments content, and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) across three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, along with changes in transcription, photosynthates content, and antioxidative enzyme activity. Eleven-leaves plants were treated with BL; 450 nm, AL; 595 nm, RL; 650 nm, and FL; 400-700 nm as control. Read More

Non-geniculate coralline algae are difficult to identify based solely on morpho-anatomy. To address the systematics of several taxonomically challenging taxa, we analyzed DNA sequences of a short portion (118-296 base pairs) of the 3' end of the rbcL gene from three type specimens. The analyses revealed that Harveylithon munitum (basionym: Lithophyllum munitum), described in 1906 from Cave Cays, Exuma Chain, Bahamas, is conspecific with both Goniolithon accretum and Goniolithon affine, described in 1906 from Sand Key, Florida and in 1907 from Culebra Island, Puerto Rico, respectively.

Jasmonic acid (JA) is regarded as an endogenous regulator which plays an important role in regulating plant growth, development and stress response. Using the seedlings of ecotype Col-0 (wild-type, WT), phospholipase Dδ (PLDδ) deficient mutant (), the G protein α subunit (GPA1) deficient mutant (), 9-Lipoxygenase (9-LOX) deficient mutants ( and ) as materials, the effects of JA responding to osmotic stress and the functions of G protein and PLDδ in this response were investigated. Exogenous MeJA reduced the EL and MDA in WT, but increased the EL and MDA in and , indicating that GPA1 and PLDδ were involved in the protection of JA on the membrane. Read More

During immune responses, B cells home to lymph nodes (LNs), where they encounter antigens. Homing starts with capture and L-selectin-dependent rolling on the activated endothelium of high endothelial venules (HEV). After recognition of chemokines presented on HEV, activation of B cell integrins occurs mediating firm arrest. Read More
