Monocarpic plants have a single reproductive phase, in which their longevity is developmentally programmed by molecular networks. In the reproductive phase of Arabidopsis thaliana, the inflorescence meristem (IM) maintains ...
Plants monitor seasonal cues to optimize reproductive success by tuning onset of reproduction and inflorescence architecture. TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and their orthologs antagonistically regulate ...
We recently reported that an RNA binding protein called Cugbp Elav-like family member 1 (Celf1) regulates somite symmetry and left-right patterning in zebrafish. In this report, we show additional roles of Celf1 in zebrafish ...
During vertebrate development, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is activated by growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and it regulates the formation of tissues/organs including eyes, brains, ...

The reproducibility of embryonic development is remarkable, although molecular processes are intrinsically stochastic at the single-cell level. How the multicellular system resists the inevitable noise to acquire developmental ...
During somite segmentation, clock genes oscillate within the posterior presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The temporal information ties up with the posteriorly moving FGF gradient, leading to the formation of a presumptive somite ...
The realization of three-dimensional (3D)-architected nanostructures, that is, the transformation from novel two-dimensional (2D) film-based devices to 3D complex nanodevices, is of crucial importance with the progress of ...
The toxic alkaloid nicotine is produced in the roots of Nicotiana species and primarily accumulates in leaves as a specialized metabolite. A series of metabolic and transport genes involved in the nicotine pathway are ...

The Aurora B kinase, encoded by the AURORA 3 (AUR3) gene in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), is a key regulator of cell
division in all eukaryotes. Aurora B has at least two central functions during cell division; it ...
Measurements of the deep brain area of rodents has been one of the most important methods to study deep brain activities, in part due to limited access of this region. In order to address this problem, we have designed and ...
Extraction of complex temporal patterns, such as human behaviors, from time series data is a challenging yet important problem. The double articulation analyzer has been previously proposed by Taniguchi et al. to discover ...
Microtubules are cytoskeletal structures involved in stability, transport and
organization in the cell. The building blocks, the a- and b-tubulin heterodimers, form protofilaments
that associate laterally into the hollow ...

Cilia or flagella of eukaryotes are small micro-hair like structures that are indispensable to
single-cell motility and play an important role in mammalian biological processes. Cilia or flagella
are composed of nine ...
Self-admitted technical debt refers to situations where a software developer knows that their current implementation is not optimal and indicates this using a source code comment. In this work, we hypothesize that it is ...
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physical and noninvasive index of the autonomic nervous system and has been used in a wide range of fields such as human medicine, veterinary and animal behavior. Measuring devices have ...
Defect prediction models are proposed to help a team prioritize source code areas files that need Software Quality Assurance (SQA) based on the likelihood of having defects. However, developers may waste their unnecessary ...
Context As a novel coronavirus swept the world in early 2020, thousands of software developers
began working from home. Many did so on short notice, under difficult and stressful
conditions.
Objective This study ...
The local structure around the dopant atom in Nd(8 mol%):LaF3 single‐crystal scintillator is analyzed by X‐ray fluorescence holography experiments in combination with a sparse modeling algorithm. The average local environment ...
