摘要:Promoting asymmetric division through microtubule dynamics establishes cell fate In multicellular organisms, cell division contributes to the generation of specialized cells. In walled organisms such as plants, the orientation of the division plane by which two daughter cells separate is of special importance because cells are embedded in a matrix and cannot relocate. To define the future cell division zone before mitosis, plants have evolved a specific structure called the preprophase band (P...

摘要:Resource allocation affects the structure of microbiomes, including those associated with living hosts. Understanding the degree to which this dependency determines interspecies interactions may advance efforts to control host-microbiome relationships. We combined synthetic community experiments with computational models to predict interaction outcomes between plant-associated bacteria. We mapped the metabolic capabilities of 224 leaf isolates from Arabidopsis thaliana by assessing the growth ...

摘要:Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace's Line is one of the most recognizable patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and geoclimatic history in biotic interchanges. Here, analysis of more than 20,000 vertebrate species with a model of geoclimate and biological diversification shows that broad precipitation tolerance and dispersal ability were key for exchange across the deep-time precipitation gradient spanning the region. Sundanian (Southeas...

摘要:Asymmetric cell divisions specify differential cell fates across kingdoms. In metazoans, preferential inheritance of fate determinants into one daughter cell frequently depends on polarity-cytoskeleton interactions. Despite the prevalence of asymmetric divisions throughout plant development, evidence for analogous mechanisms that segregate fate determinants remains elusive. Here, we describe a mechanism in the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis that ensures unequal inheritance of a fate-enforcing pola...

摘要:Breast milk is a complex biofluid crafted over millions of years of evolution to provide optimal nutrition along with other bioactive compounds to the infant. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex sugars that represent the fourth most abundant component of breast milk, which makes them more numerous than proteins and other vital nutrients, yet they provide no direct nutritional benefit to the infant (1). Human evolution does not favor wasteful processes, which suggests that HMOs play ...

摘要:Skeletal ring enlargement is gaining renewed interest in synthetic chemistry and has recently focused on insertion of one or two atoms. Strategies for heterocyclic expansion through small-ring insertion remain elusive, although they would lead to the efficient formation of bicyclic products. Here, we report a photoinduced dearomative ring enlargement of thiophenes by insertion of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes to produce eight-membered bicyclic rings under mild conditions. The synthetic value, broad fu...
