RESUMO
Plant growth must be regulated throughout the plant life cycle. The myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factor (TF) family is one of the largest TF families and is involved in metabolism, lignin biosynthesis, and developmental processes. Here, we showed that OsMYB14, a rice R2R3-MYB TF, was expressed in leaves and roots, especially in rice culm and panicles, and that it localized to the nucleus. Overexpression of OsMYB14 (OsMYB14-ox) in rice resulted in a 30% reduction in plant height compared to that of the wild type (WT), while the height of the osmyb14-knockout (osmyb14-ko) mutant generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system was not significantly different. Microscopic observations of the first internode revealed that the cell size did not differ significantly among the lines. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that genes associated with plant development, regulation, lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and gibberellin (GA) and auxin metabolic processes were downregulated in the OsMYB14-ox line. Hormone quantitation revealed that inactive GA19 accumulated in OsMYB14-ox but not in the WT or knockout plants, suggesting that GA20 generation was repressed. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and IAA-aspartate accumulated in OsMYB14-ox and osmyb14-ko, respectively. Indeed, real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression of OsGA20ox1, encoding GA20 oxidase 1, and OsGH3-2, encoding IAA-amido synthetase, was downregulated in OsMYB14-ox and upregulated in osmyb14-ko. A protein-binding microarray revealed the presence of a consensus DNA-binding sequence, the ACCTACC-like motif, in the promoters of the OsGA20ox1 and GA20ox2 genes. These results suggest that OsMYB14 may act as a negative regulator of biological processes affecting plant height in rice by regulating GA biosynthesis and auxin metabolism.
RESUMO
Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., commonly known as milk thistle, is a medicinal plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. This plant has been recognized for its medicinal properties for over 2,000 years. However, the genome of this plant remains largely undiscovered, having no reference genome at a chromosomal level. Here, we assembled the chromosome-level genome of S. marianum, allowing for the annotation of 53,552 genes and the identification of transposable elements comprising 58% of the genome. The genome assembly from this study showed 99.1% completeness as determined by BUSCO assessment, while the previous assembly (ASM154182v1) showed 36.7%. Functional annotation of the predicted genes showed 50,329 genes (94% of total genes) with known protein functions in public databases. Comparative genome analysis among Asteraceae plants revealed a striking conservation of collinearity between S. marianum and C. cardunculus. The genomic information generated from this study will be a valuable resource for milk thistle breeding and for use by the larger research community.

Nanodevice oscillators (nano-oscillators) have received considerable attention to implement in neuromorphic computing as hardware because they can significantly improve the device integration density and energy efficiency compared to complementary metal oxide semiconductor circuit-based oscillators. This work demonstrates vertically stackable nano-oscillators using an ovonic threshold switch (OTS) for high-density neuromorphic hardware. A vertically stackable Ge0.6Se0.4 OTS-oscillator (VOTS-OSC) is fabricated with a vertical crossbar array structure by growing Ge0.6Se0.4 film conformally on a contact hole structure using atomic layer deposition. The VOTS-OSC can be vertically integrated onto peripheral circuits without causing thermal damage because the fabrication temperature is <400 °C. The fabricated device exhibits oscillation characteristics, which can serve as leaky integrate-and-fire neurons in spiking neural networks (SNNs) and coupled oscillators in oscillatory neural networks (ONNs). For practical applications, pattern recognition and vertex coloring are demonstrated with SNNs and ONNs, respectively, using semiempirical simulations. This structure increases the oscillator integration density significantly, enabling complex tasks with a large number of oscillators. Moreover, it can enhance the computational speed of neural networks due to its rapid switching speed.
RESUMO
This work investigates the impact of the magnitude of cycling voltage on the fatigue characteristics of 40 nm-thick AlScN ferroelectric thin film. The fatigue rate and the rejuvenation of remanent polarization vary with the cycling voltage. The primary fatigue mechanism is identified to be the interfacial layer formation and domain wall pinning at high and low cycling voltages, respectively. Additionally, annealing the film under the NH3 atmosphere decreases the fatigue rate and improves endurance by eliminating impurities in the film. The amount of trapped charges at the interface also decreases after NH3 annealing, leading to a reduction in leakage current. Furthermore, the ferroelectric performance of the AlScN film is not degraded after the thermal annealing at 900 °C under the NH3 environment, suggesting its robustness against the severe thermal budget. It is concluded that NH3 annealing is a promising method to address the reliability issue of the AlScN film.
RESUMO
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.), 2n = 22) is a tropical crop grown in arid and semiarid regions that is tolerant to abiotic stresses such as heat and drought. However, in these regions, salt in the soil is generally not eluted by rainwater, leading to salt stress for a variety of plant species. This study was conducted to identify genes related to salt stress using the comparative transcriptome analysis of cowpea germplasms with contrasting salt tolerance. Using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform, 1.1 billion high-quality short reads, with a total length of over 98.6 billion bp, were obtained from four cowpea germplasms. Of the differentially expressed genes identified for each salt tolerance type following RNA sequencing, 27 were shown to exhibit significant expression levels. These candidate genes were subsequently narrowed down using reference-sequencing analysis, and two salt stress-related genes (Vigun_02G076100 and Vigun_08G125100) with single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation were selected. Of the five SNPs identified in Vigun_02G076100, one that caused significant amino acid variation was identified, while all nucleotide variations in Vigun_08G125100 was classified as missing in the salt-resistant germplasms. The candidate genes and their variation, identified in this study provide, useful information for the development of molecular markers for cowpea breeding programs.

BACKGROUND: The epigenetic mechanisms play critical roles in a vast diversity of biological processes of plants, including development and response to environmental challenges. Particularly, DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic signature that supplements the genetics-based view of complex life phenomena. In crop breeding, the decrease in genetic diversity due to artificial selection of conventional breeding methods has been a long-standing concern. Therefore, the epigenetic diversity has been proposed as a new resource for future crop breeding, which will be hereinafter referred to as epibreeding. DISCUSSION: The induction of methylome changes has been performed in plants by several methods including chemical drugs treatment and tissue culture. Target-specific epigenetic engineering has been also attempted by exogenous RNAi mediated by virus-induced gene silencing and grafting. Importantly, the new and innovative techniques including the CRISPR-Cas9 system have recently been adopted in epigenetic engineering of plant genomes, facilitating the efforts for epibreeding. CONCLUSION: In this review, we introduce several examples of natural and induced epigenetic changes impacting on agronomic traits and discuss the methods for generating epigenomic diversity and site-specific epigenetic engineering.

Low temperature is a critical environmental factor restricting the physiology of organisms across kingdoms. In prokaryotes, cold shock induces the expression of various genes and proteins involved in cellular processes. Here, a cold-shock protein (ArCspA) from the South Pole-dwelling soil bacterium Arthrobacter sp. A2-5 was introduced into rice, a monocot model plant species. Four-week-old 35S:ArCspA transgenic rice plants grown in a cold chamber at 4 °C survived for 6 days. Cold stress significantly decreased the chlorophyll content in WT plants after 4 days compared with that in 35S:ArCspA transgenic plants. RNA-seq analysis was performed on WT and 35S:ArCspA transgenic rice with/without cold stress. GO terms such as "response to stress (GO:0006950)", "response to cold (GO:0009409)", and "response to heat (GO:0009408)" were significantly enriched among the upregulated genes in the 35S:ArCspA transgenic rice under normal conditions, even without cold-stress treatment. The expression of five cold stress-related genes, Rab16B (Os11g0454200), Rab21 (Os11g0454300), LEA22 (Os01g0702500), ABI5 (Os01 g0859300), and MAPK5 (Os03g0285800), was significantly upregulated in the transgenic rice compared with the WT rice. These results indicate that the ArCspA gene might be involved in the induction of cold-responsive genes and provide cold tolerance.

The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer is a major environmental issue and has increased the dosage of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Organisms are negatively affected by enhanced UV-B radiation, and especially in crop plants this may lead to severe yield losses. Soybean (Glycine max L.), a major legume crop, is sensitive to UV-B radiation, and therefore, it is required to breed the UV-B-resistant soybean cultivar. In this study, 688 soybean germplasms were phenotyped for two categories, Damage of Leaf Chlorosis (DLC) and Damage of Leaf Shape (DLS), after supplementary UV-B irradiation for 14 days. About 5% of the germplasms showed strong UV-B resistance, and GCS731 was the most resistant genotype. Their phenotypic distributions showed similar patterns to the normal, suggesting UV-B resistance as a quantitative trait governed by polygenes. A total of 688 soybean germplasms were genotyped using the Axiom® Soya 180K SNP array, and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify SNPs significantly associated with the two traits, DLC and DLS. Five peaks on chromosomes 2, 6, 10, and 11 were significantly associated with either DLC or DLS, and the five adjacent genes were selected as candidate genes responsible for UV-B resistance. Among those candidate genes, Glyma.02g017500 and Glyma.06g103200 encode cryptochrome (CRY) and cryptochrome 1 (CRY1), respectively, and are known to play a role in DNA repair during photoreactivation. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) results revealed that CRY1 was expressed significantly higher in the UV-B-resistant soybean compared to the susceptible soybean after 6 h of UV-B irradiation. This study is the first GWAS report on UV-B resistance in soybean, and the results will provide valuable information for breeding UV-B-resistant soybeans in preparation for climate change.
RESUMO
MAIN CONCLUSION: The present study showed that a rice (Oryza sativa)-specific protein-binding microarray (RPBM) can be applied to analyze DNA-binding motifs with a TF where binding is evaluated in extended natural promoter regions. The analysis may facilitate identifying TFs and their downstream genes and constructing gene networks through cis-elements. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression at the transcriptional level by binding a specific DNA sequence. Thus, predicting the DNA-binding motifs of TFs is one of the most important areas in the functional analysis of TFs in the postgenomic era. Although many methods have been developed to address this challenge, many TFs still have unknown DNA-binding motifs. In this study, we designed RPBM with 40-bp probes and 20-bp of overlap, yielding 49 probes spanning the 1-kb upstream region before the translation start site of each gene in the entire genome. To confirm the efficiency of RPBM technology, we selected two previously studied TFs, OsWOX13 and OsSMF1, and an uncharacterized TF, OsWRKY34. We identified the ATTGATTG and CCACGTCA DNA-binding sequences of OsWOX13 and OsSMF1, respectively. In total, 635 and 932 putative feature genes were identified for OsWOX13 and OsSMF1, respectively. We discovered the CGTTGACTTT DNA-binding sequence and 195 putative feature genes of OsWRKY34. RPBM could be applicable in the analysis of DNA-binding motifs for TFs where binding is evaluated in the promoter and 5' upstream CDS regions. The analysis may facilitate identifying TFs and their downstream genes and constructing gene networks through cis-elements.

Plant breeding has a long history of developing new varieties that have ensured the food security of the human population. During this long journey together with humanity, plant breeders have successfully integrated the latest innovations in science and technologies to accelerate the increase in crop production and quality. For the past two decades, since the completion of human genome sequencing, genomic tools and sequencing technologies have advanced remarkably, and adopting these innovations has enabled us to cost down and/or speed up the plant breeding process. Currently, with the growing mass of genomic data and digitalized biological data, interdisciplinary approaches using new technologies could lead to a new paradigm of plant breeding. In this review, we summarize the overall history and advances of plant breeding, which have been aided by plant genomic research. We highlight the key advances in the field of plant genomics that have impacted plant breeding over the past decades and introduce the current status of innovative approaches such as genomic selection, which could overcome limitations of conventional breeding and enhance the rate of genetic gain.
RESUMO
Background: A juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT), or a reninoma, is a rare renal tumor that can cause secondary hypertension. This is the first reported JGCT that was resected through robotic surgery. Case: We present a case of a 27-year-old female patient with 1.35-cm-sized JGCT in the lower pole of the right kidney. We effectively removed a JGCT through robot-assisted partial nephrectomy without any complications. Conclusion: The robot-assisted partial nephrectomy procedure could be a suitable choice for JGCT resection.
RESUMO
Hybrids are extensively used in agriculture to deliver an increase in yield, yet the molecular basis of heterosis is not well understood. Global DNA methylation analysis, transcriptome analysis and small RNA profiling were aimed to understand the epigenetic effect of the changes in gene expression level in the two hybrids and their parental lines. Increased DNA methylation was observed in both the hybrids as compared to their parents. This increased DNA methylation in hybrids showed that majority of the 24-nt siRNA clusters had higher expression in hybrids than the parents. Transcriptome analysis revealed that various phytohormones (auxin and salicylic acid) responsive hybrid-MPV DEGs were significantly altered in both the hybrids in comparison to MPV. DEGs associated with plant immunity and growth were overexpressed whereas DEGs associated with basal defence level were repressed. This antagonistic patterns of gene expression might contribute to the greater growth of the hybrids. It was also noticed that some common as well as unique changes in the regulatory pathways were associated with heterotic growth in both the hybrids. Approximately 70% and 67% of down-regulated hybrid-MPV DEGs were found to be differentially methylated in ICPH 2671 and ICPH 2740 hybrid, respectively. This reflected the association of epigenetic regulation in altered gene expressions. Our findings also revealed that miRNAs might play important roles in hybrid vigour in both the hybrids by regulating their target genes, especially in controlling plant growth and development, defence and stress response pathways. The above finding provides an insight into the molecular mechanism of pigeonpea heterosis.

High-intensity ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation is a complex abiotic stressor resulting in excessive light exposure, heat, and dehydration, thereby affecting crop yields. In the present study, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to high-intensity UV-B irradiation in soybean (Glycine max [L.]). We used a genotyping-by-sequencing approach using an F6 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between Cheongja 3 (UV-B sensitive) and Buseok (UV-B resistant). We evaluated the degree of leaf damage by high-intensity UV-B radiation in the RIL population and identified four QTLs, UVBR12-1, 6-1, 10-1, and 14-1, for UV-B stress resistance, together explaining 20% of the observed phenotypic variation. The genomic regions containing UVBR12-1 and UVBR6-1 and their syntenic blocks included other known biotic and abiotic stress-related QTLs. The QTL with the highest logarithm of odds (LOD) score of 3.76 was UVBR12-1 on Chromosome 12, containing two genes encoding spectrin beta chain, brain (SPTBN, Glyma.12g088600) and bZIP transcription factor21/TGACG motif-binding 9 (bZIP TF21/TGA9, Glyma.12g088700). Their amino acid sequences did not differ between the mapping parents, but both genes were significantly upregulated by UV-B stress in Buseok but not in Cheongja 3. Among five genes in UVBR6-1 on Chromosome 6, Glyma.06g319700 (encoding a leucine-rich repeat family protein) had two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms differentiating the parental lines. Our findings offer powerful genetic resources for efficient and precise breeding programs aimed at developing resistant soybean cultivars to multiple stresses. Furthermore, functional validation of the candidate genes will improve our understanding of UV-B stress defense mechanisms.

Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets of chromosomes from two ancestral species. Here we report the genome sequence of peanut and show that after its polyploid origin, the genome has evolved through mobile-element activity, deletions and by the flow of genetic information between corresponding ancestral chromosomes (that is, homeologous recombination). Uniformity of patterns of homeologous recombination at the ends of chromosomes favors a single origin for cultivated peanut and its wild counterpart A. monticola. However, through much of the genome, homeologous recombination has created diversity. Using new polyploid hybrids made from the ancestral species, we show how this can generate phenotypic changes such as spontaneous changes in the color of the flowers. We suggest that diversity generated by these genetic mechanisms helped to favor the domestication of the polyploid A. hypogaea over other diploid Arachis species cultivated by humans.

BACKGROUND: This prospective cohort study used nationwide claims data to investigate the incidence of fall and fragility fractures in association with urinary incontinence (UI) in the elderly, and to compare mortality after fragility fractures in elderly patients with or without incontinence. METHODS: A total of 39,854 Korean adults (age, 66-80 years) who participated in health examinations between 2007 and 2012 and were followed up until 2015 were analyzed. Patient and comparison groups were classified according to the presence or absence of UI. The cumulative incidence of osteoporotic fragility fractures and falls in the 2 groups was assessed and compared. Hazard ratios for fragility fractures were calculated for the risk of UI in association with falls using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: Of 39,854 elderly participants, 5,703 were classified in the UI group, while 34,151 were placed in the comparison group. Fall rates were significantly higher (20.8%) in the incontinence group than in the comparison group (4.7%) (P<0.001). Women in the incontinence group (13.9%) showed a significantly higher incidence of all types of fragility fractures than those in the comparison group (11.8%) (P=0.005). After adjustment for confounders, UI was not a significant risk factor for fragility fractures in men (P=0.878) or women (P=0.324). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that elderly women with UI have a significantly higher incidence of osteoporotic fragility fractures. In addition, elderly women are at higher risk for falls.
RESUMO
Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate a method to easily assess bladder capacity using knowledge of day-time voided volumes, which can be obtained even from patients with nocturnal enuresis where the first morning void cannot accurately predict the bladder capacity due to bladder emptying overnight. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 177 healthy children from 7 Korean medical centres entered the study between January 2008 and January 2009. Voided volumes measured for more than 48 hours were recorded in the frequency volume chart (FVC). Results: Most voided volumes during day-time were showed between 30% and 80% of the maximal voided volume (MVV). The maximal voided volume during day-time (MVVDT) was significantly less than the MVV (179.5±71.1 mL vs. 227.0±79.2 mL, p<0.001). The correlation coefficients with the MVV were 0.801 for the estimated MVV using the MVVDT (MVVDT×1.25), which suggested a fairly strong relationship between the MVVDT×1.25 and the MVV. Conclusions: The MVV derived from the FVC excluding the FMV was less than if the FMV had been included. When an accurate first morning voided volume cannot be obtained, as in patients with nocturnal enuresis, calculating MVVDT×1.25 allows estimation of the bladder capacity in place of the MVV.

PURPOSE: To study the clinical application of low-dose unenhanced computed tomography with iterative reconstruction technique (LDCT-IR) on renal colic in the emergency department. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective, single-blinded, randomized, and non-inferiority study. From March 2014 to August 2015, 112 patients with renal colic were included, and were randomized to either LDCT-IR (n=46) or standard-dose unenhanced CT (SDCT) (n=66) groups. The accuracy of urolithiasis diagnosis was the primary endpoint of this study. Radiation dose, size and location of the stone, hydronephrosis, other diseases except urolithiasis, and results of treatment were analyzed between the two groups. RESULTS: The average effective dose radiation of SDCT was approximately four times higher than that of LDCT-IR (6.52 mSv vs. 1.63 mSv, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the accuracy of ureteral stone diagnosis between the two groups (LDCT-IR group: 96.97% vs. SDCT group: 98.96%, p=0.392). No significant difference was observed regarding the size and location of a stone, hydronephrosis, and diagnosis of other diseases, except urolithiasis. False negative results were found in two LDCT-IR patients and in one SDCT patient. In these patients, stones were misread as vascular calcification, and were difficult to diagnose because evidence of hydronephrosis and ureteral dilatation was not found. CONCLUSION: LDCT-IR, as a first-line imaging test, was non-inferior to SDCT with respect to diagnosis of ureter stones, and was clinically available for the evaluation of renal colic.

Most plants are polyploid due to whole-genome duplications (WGD) and can thus have duplicated genes. Following a WGD, paralogs are often fractionated (lost) and few duplicate pairs remain. Little attention has been paid to the role of DNA methylation in the functional divergence of paralogous genes. Using high-resolution methylation maps of accessions of domesticated and wild soybean, we show that in soybean, a recent paleopolyploid with many paralogs, DNA methylation likely contributed to the elimination of genetic redundancy of polyploidy-derived gene paralogs. Transcriptionally silenced paralogs exhibit particular genomic features as they are often associated with proximal transposable elements (TEs) and are preferentially located in pericentromeres, likely due to gene movement during evolution. Additionally, we provide evidence that gene methylation associated with proximal TEs is implicated in the divergence of expression profiles between orthologous genes of wild and domesticated soybean, and within populations.

Soybean (Glycine max) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) share a polyploidy event ~59 MYA, followed by a Glycine-specific whole genome duplication (WGD) ~8-13 MYA. Duplicated genes were classified into five categories: singletons, dispersed, proximal, tandem, or WGD/segmental and found strong correlations between gene category and functional annotation. Photosynthesis and transcriptional regulation-related Gene Ontology terms were significantly over-represented in singletons and WGD genes, respectively, aligning with the gene balance hypothesis. We found that the divergence of gene expression and DNA methylation between WGD-derived paralogs increased with age and that WGD genes, initially retained via dosage constraints, subsequently underwent expression divergence, associated with other factors such as DNA methylation. Genes derived from different modes of duplication differed in breadth, level, and specificity of expression in both species. Orthologous genes and ungrouped genes (genes not in an ortholog group) differed in expression patterns. The protein divergence rates of WGD paralog pairs containing an ungrouped gene were higher than those for which both copies had orthologs. We propose that many ungrouped genes are derived from divergent and redundant gene copies, concordant with the neofunctionalization hypothesis. Tandemly duplicated genes were distinct from WGD-derived genes, indicating that mode of duplication contributes to the evolutionary fate of duplicated genes.
