Article Abstract
The shoot organ boundaries have important roles in plant growth and morphogenesis. It has been reported that a gene encoding a cysteine-rich secreted peptide of the EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-LIKE (EPFL) family, , is expressed in the boundary domain between the two cotyledon primordia of embryo. However, its developmental functions remain unknown. This study aimed to analyze the role of during embryogenesis. We found that cotyledon growth was reduced in its loss-of-function mutants, and this phenotype was associated with the reduction of auxin response peaks at the tips of the primordia. The reduced cotyledon size of the mutant embryo recovered in germinating seedlings, indicating the presence of a factor that acted redundantly with to promote cotyledon growth in late embryogenesis. Our analysis suggests that the boundary domain between the cotyledon primordia acts as a signaling center that organizes auxin response peaks and promotes cotyledon growth.

Recurrent cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma of the uterus: A case report.

Rationale: Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is an exceptionally rare and morphologically unusual benign uterine leiomyoma. Its malignant-mimicking radiographic and intraoperative features pose a significant diagnostic challenge, often leading to misinterpretation and potentially overtreatment. This case is reported for its rarity and to highlight the critical importance of pathological recognition.

DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification that is stably inherited across both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions in plants. It is regulated by multiple epigenetic pathways, and alterations in methylation can lead to phenotypic variation independent of changes in the DNA sequence. In this study, changes in DNA methylation triggered by the chromatin remodeler DDM1 (DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION 1) were found to influence leaf phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Cell wall modification alters plant resistance to aluminum (Al), although the mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identified the No Apical Meristem (NAM), Arabidopsis Transcription Factor 1/2 (ATAF1/2) and Cup-shaped Cotyledon 2 (CUC2) (NAC) transcription factor (TF) ANAC053 as crucial for Al resistance in Arabidopsis. (Arabidopsis thaliana) Al caused a concurrent increase in ANAC053 transcript and protein accumulation, and anac053 mutants were sensitive to Al, whereas transgenic lines overexpressing ANAC053 exhibited reduced Al sensitivity.

RNA polymerase II (Pol II) has been shown to participate in various biological processes in plants, but its function in response to abiotic stress in cotton remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of the third-largest subunit of Pol II (NRPB3) in the response of cotton to drought and salt stress through molecular biology and physiological methods. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression pattern of in roots, stems, leaves, and cotyledons and to detect changes in its expression under drought, NaCl, and ABA treatments.

Heat stress reduces fetal growth in late gestation in cattle, driven by shifts in placental form and function. Sheep are short-day breeders, but they are also bred off-season, allowing late summer lambing, which is associated with heat stress exposure in late pregnancy. Citrulline is known to induce nitric oxide release and vasodilatation and may not be degraded by the rumen, but its impacts on placental function are unknown.
