Shedding light on photoperiodism [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 In mammals, photoreception is restricted to the eye. By contrast, nonmammalian vertebrates possess photoreceptors in a wide array of extraocular tissues, including the pineal complex and brain (1). The identity of the deep brain photoreceptors has remained elusive.

Histone Modification Complex JMJ704‐HDA709 Negatively Regulates Salinity Tolerance in Rice
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that the rice histone demethylase JMJ704 interacts with HDA709―a H3K9ac deacetylase characterized herein―to form a chromatin‐modifying complex. Under salt stress, OsWRKY72 recruits this complex through interaction with JMJ704 to target loci, repressing the expression of oxidative stress and salt‐responsive genes via removal of ...

Effects of photoperiod on somatic growth and gonadal development in male nile tilapia
Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2015 Rotation and translation of the Earth subject the living organisms to cyclic changes of environmental factors. This study evaluated the effects of photoperiod on growth and gonadal development in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Advanced Science, EarlyView.To explore the impact of nanosizing on pesticide biointeractions, a 7‐nm (average) emamectin benzoate nanopesticide without nanocarriers or surfactants is fabricated via HOAc‐mediated disaggregation. Nanosizing enhances bioactivity against Megalurothrips usitatus and Meloidogyne enterolobii and improves plant penetration.

The Spatiotemporal Genetic Architecture of Seed Vigor in Upland Cotton
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Leveraging the semi‐automated SeedRanger platform, we profiled the germination kinetics of 356 cotton accessions at a 30‐min interval. This high‐throughput phenomic approach delineated a temporal genetic network comprising 541 stage‐specific loci. Crucially, functional validation identified FLA2 as a pivotal, auxin‐modulated regulator that orchestrates

Adaptive responses to temperature and photoperiod in neuromuscular transmissionin carcinus maenas (l) [PDF]
, 2004 Neuromuscular synaptic transmission in the ectothermal crab Carcinus maenas was used to assess the extent to which photoperiod affected the attainment of temperature acclimation.
