CK2 kinase-PRC2 signalling regulates genome-wide H3K27 trimethylation and transduces prolonged cold exposure into epigenetic cold memory in plants.

Polycomb protein-mediated transcriptional repression plays a crucial role in the regulation of responses to environmental stimuli in multicellular eukaryotes, but the underlying signalling events remain elusive. During Arabidopsis vernalization, prolonged cold exposure results in the formation of a Polycomb-repressed domain at the potent floral repressor FLC to confer its stable silencing upon temperature rise or epigenetic 'memory of prolonged cold', enabling the plants to bloom in spring. Here we report that the evolutionarily conserved casein kinase CK2 phosphorylates and thus stabilizes histone 3 lysine-27 (H3K27) methyltransferases (PRC2 subunits) to promote H3K27 trimethylation throughout the Arabidopsis genome.

Ultrahigh Transmittance Biomimetic Fused Quartz Windows Enabled by Frequency-Doubling Femtosecond Laser Processing.

Owing to the intricate parameter design of antireflective subwavelength structures (ASS) and the stringent fabrication precision constraints associated with Gaussian beams, directly fabricating ultrahigh-transmittance ASS on the surfaces of fused silica (SiO) via femtosecond laser processing remains a considerable challenge. In this study, an analysis was first conducted on the characteristics of two representative types of ASS, through which hole-type microstructures were identified as exhibiting superior capability in enhancing the transmittance of infrared windows. Based on this observation, a dual-pulse femtosecond laser setup operating at a wavelength of 1030 nm was constructed and successfully employed to fabricate hole-type microstructures.

Recently, Hu et al. demonstrated through multispecies experiments that herbivory-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) enrich beneficial rhizosphere bacteria via jasmonate-dependent plant-soil feedback (PSF), significantly enhancing the growth and insect resistance of crops such as maize. This mechanism provides a cross-scale solution to crack the bottlenecks of sustainable production.

Electrolytes with Tailored Solvent-Solvent Interactions for Flame-Retardant Stable Sodium-Metal Batteries.

Sodium metal batteries (SMBs), which possess abundant sodium resources and high energy density, have attracted widespread attention. However, the continuous reaction between the electrolyte and the sodium metal anode, along with the formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), leads to rapid capacity decay and the safety hazard of potential ignition. In this work, designing a low-cost and flame-retardant electrolyte with solvent-solvent interactions is achieved by introducing sodium-difluoro(oxalato)borate (NaDFOB) as a single salt into the ester-based electrolyte on the basis of trimethyl phosphate.

Polydopamine/Montmorillonite-Based Brushite Calcium Phosphate Cements: Synergize Mechanical and Osteogenic Capacity for Bone Regeneration.

Although brushite calcium phosphate cements (Bru-CPCs) possess good bioactivity and biocompatibility, their low compressive strength hinders their effective application in osteoporotic bone defect treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to improve the compressive strength without sacrificing the osteogenesis properties of Bru-CPCs. Montmorillonite (MMT) was added into Bru-CPCs to get Bru-CPCs/1.

NRXN3-NLGN1 complex influences the development of depression induced by maternal separation in rats.

Early-life stress (ELS) increases the risk of major depressive disorder in children and adolescents. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of major depressive disorder (MDD) induced by ELS are poorly understood. Here, we establish a stress model in rats in which maternal separation stress (MS) during the postnatal period increases susceptibility to restraint stress (RS) later in life.

The subcortical maternal complex safeguards mouse oocyte-to-embryo transition by preventing nuclear entry of SPIN1.

How cytoplasmic regulators control nuclear events in mammalian oocytes and early embryos remains largely enigmatic. We previously identified a subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) that specifically resides in the cytoplasm of mammalian oocytes and early embryos but is also involved in nuclear events. Nevertheless, how the cytoplasmic SCMC exerts its role in nuclear processes remains unknown.

Exposure to thiazole pesticides disrupts pathogens and undermines keystone status of rare taxa within bacterial ecological networks.

Considering the sensitivity of rare microbial taxa to environmental disturbances and their critical roles in ecosystems, it is essential to investigate how soil microbial communities (particularly rare microbes) respond to pesticide exposure. In this study, we found that thiazole pesticides significantly reduced the severity of potato common scab and effectively disrupted the pathogen's cell membrane integrity. Notably, hierarchical partitioning analysis indicated that the rare microbial taxa in potato geocaulosphere soil constitute key clusters influencing disease incidence.

Cosupplementation with DHA and medium-chain triglycerides ameliorates NAFLD and reduces amyloid-β accumulation by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism in APP/PS1 mice.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases and is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) play essential roles in lipid metabolism and the inhibition of amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation. We aimed to explore the possible association between cerebral Aβ deposition and the development of NAFLD and to investigate the effect of DHA combined with MCTs on delaying NAFLD progression and Aβ accumulation.

Cavity oscillation drives pattern formation in early mammalian embryos.

During the second cell fate in mouse embryos, the inner cell mass (ICM) segregates into the spatially distinct epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PrE) layers. The mechanism driving this pattern formation, however, remains unresolved. Here, we report that, concomitant with the segregation process of EPI/PrE precursors starting from mid-blastocyst, the blastocyst cavity begins to oscillate cyclically with rapid contraction yet slow expansion, triggering a phase transition in the ICM to a fluid-like state.

Two Novel Protein-Truncating Variants in NLRP2 and Their Functional Impacts on the Subcortical Maternal Complex.

Female infertility is a prevalent reproductive disorder with high genetic heterogeneity. Previous reports have demonstrated the causal role of biallelic pathogenic variants in the Subcortical Maternal Complex (SCMC) genes in female reproductive failure with some leading to infertility, early embryonic loss, and molar pregnancies, while others are compatible with live birth with and without multilocus imprinting disorders (MLID). Here, we report two deleterious protein-truncating variants, c.
