One widespread adaptation to limit self-fertilization is self-incompatibility (SI), where self-pollen fails to fertilize ovules.(1,2) In homomorphic SI, many morphologically indistinguishable mating types are found, although in heteromorphic SI, the two or three mating types are associated with different floral morphologies.(3-6) In heterostylous Primula, a hemizygous supergene determines a short-styled S-morph and a long-styled L-morph, corresponding to two different mating types, and full seed set only results from inter morph crosses.(7-9) Style length is controlled by the brassinosteroid (BR)-inactivating cytochrome P450 CYP734A50,(10) yet it remains unclear what defines the male and female incompatibility types. Here, we show that CYP734A50 also determines the female incompatibility type. Inactivating CYP734A50 converts short S-morph styles into long styles with the same incompatibility behavior as L-morph styles, and this effect can be mimicked by exogenous BR treatment. In vitro responses of S-and L-morph pollen grains and pollen tubes to increasing BR levels could only partly explain their different in vivo behavior, suggesting both direct and indirect effects of the different BR levels in S-versus L-morph stigmas and styles in controlling pollen performance. This BR-mediated SI provides a novel mechanism for preventing self-fertilization. The joint control of morphology and SI by CYP734A50 has important implications for the evolutionary buildup of the heterostylous syndrome and provides a straightforward explanation for why essentially all of the derived self-compatible homostylous Primula species are long homostyles.(11)}, subject = {heteromorphic self-incompatibility}, language = {en} } @misc{JeltschGrimm2020, author = {Jeltsch, Florian and Grimm, Volker}, title = {Editorial}, series = {Movement Ecology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Movement Ecology}, number = {1}, publisher = {BioMed Central}, address = {London}, issn = {2051-3933}, doi = {10.1186/s40462-020-00210-0}, pages = {4}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @misc{XenikoudakisAhmedHarrisetal.2020, author = {Xenikoudakis, Georgios and Ahmed, Mayeesha and Harris, Jacob Colt and Wadleigh, Rachel and Paijmans, Johanna L.

For this purpose, knowledge on absorption and disposition of aluminium in plasma and tissues is essential. Pharmacokinetic data after vaccination in humans, however, are not available, and for methodological and ethical reasons difficult to obtain. To overcome these limitations, we discuss the possibility of an in vitro-in silico approach combining a toxicokinetic model for aluminium disposition with biorelevant kinetic absorption parameters from adjuvants. We critically review available kinetic aluminium-26 data for model building and, on the basis of a reparameterized toxicokinetic model (Nolte et al., 2001), we identify main modelling gaps. The potential of in vitro dissolution experiments for the prediction of intramuscular absorption kinetics of aluminium after vaccination is explored. It becomes apparent that there is need for detailed in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption data to establish an in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) for aluminium adjuvants. We conclude that a combination of new experimental data and further refinement of the Nolte model has the potential to fill a gap in aluminium risk assessment. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

At the beginning of 2016, a total of 30 male sperm whales stranded in five different countries bordering the southern North Sea. It has been postulated that these individuals were on a migration route from the north to warmer temperate and tropical waters where females live in social groups. By including samples from four countries (n = 27), this event provided a unique chance to genetically investigate the maternal relatedness and the putative origin of these temporally and spatially co-occuring male sperm whales. To utilize existing genetic resources, we sequenced 422 bp of the mitochondrial control region, a molecular marker for which sperm whale data are readily available from the entire distribution range. Based on four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the mitochondrial control region, five matrilines could be distinguished within the stranded specimens, four of which matched published haplotypes previously described in the Atlantic. Among these male sperm whales, multiple matrilineal lineages co-occur. We analyzed the population differentiation and could show that the genetic diversity of these male sperm whales is comparable to the genetic diversity in sperm whales from the entire Atlantic Ocean. We confirm that within this stranding event, males do not comprise maternally related individuals and apparently include assemblages of individuals from different geographic regions.

Measurements included readings of apparent electrical conductivity of soil (ECa), stem water potential, canopy temperature obtained by infrared camera, and canopy volume estimated by LiDAR and RGB colour imaging. Laboratory analyses of 6 trees per treatment were done on fruit considering the pigment contents and quality parameters. Midday stem water potential (SWP), normalized crop water stress index (CWSI) calculated from thermal data, and fruit yield and quality at harvest were analysed. Spatial patterns of the variability of tree water status were estimated by CWSI imaging supported by SWP readings. CWSI ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 indicating high variability due to irrigation and precipitation. Canopy volume data were less variable. Soil ECa appeared homogeneous in the range of 0 to 4 mS m-1.

Past investigations indicated that APLP1 is involved in the formation of protein-protein complexes that bridge the junctions between neighboring cells. Nevertheless, APLP1-APLP1 trans interactions have never been directly observed in higher eukaryotic cells. Here, we investigate APLP1 interactions and dynamics directly in living human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, using fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy techniques, namely cross-correlation scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (sFCS) and Number\&Brightness (N\&B). Our results show that APLP1 forms homotypic trans complexes at cell-cell contacts. In the presence of zinc ions, the protein forms macroscopic clusters, exhibiting an even higher degree of trans binding and strongly reduced dynamics. Further evidence from Giant Plasma Membrane Vesicles and live cell actin staining suggests that the presence of an intact cortical cytoskeleton is required for zinc-induced cis multimerization. Subsequently, large adhesion platforms bridging interacting cells are formed through APLP1-APLP1 direct trans interactions. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that APLP1 functions as a neuronal zinc-dependent adhesion protein and provide a more detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving the formation of APLP1 adhesion platforms. Further, they show that fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy techniques are useful tools for the investigation of protein-protein interactions at cell-cell adhesion sites.}, language = {en} } @misc{LucknerDunsingChiantiaetal.2018, author = {Luckner, Madlen and Dunsing, Valentin and Chiantia, Salvatore and Hermann, Andreas}, title = {Oligomerization and nuclear shuttling dynamics of viral proteins studied by quantitative molecular brightness analysis using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy}, series = {Biophysical journal}, volume = {114}, journal = {Biophysical journal}, number = {3}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0006-3495}, doi = {10.1016/j.bpj.2017.11.1951}, pages = {350A -- 350A}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @misc{DammhahnDingemanseNiemelaeetal.2018, author = {Dammhahn, Melanie and Dingemanse, Niels J. and Niemelae, Petri T. and Reale, Denis}, title = {Pace-of-life syndromes}, series = {Behavioral ecology and sociobiology}, volume = {72}, journal = {Behavioral ecology and sociobiology}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0340-5443}, doi = {10.1007/s00265-018-2473-y}, pages = {8}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This introduction to the topical collection on Pace-of-life syndromes: a framework for the adaptive integration of behaviour, physiology, and life history provides an overview of conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and empirical progress in research on pace-of-life syndromes (POLSs) over the last decade.

First, we briefly describe the history of POLS research and provide a refined definition of POLS that is applicable to various key levels of variation (genetic, individual, population, species). Second, we summarise the main lessons learned from current POLS research included in this topical collection. Based on an assessment of the current state of the theoretical foundations and the empirical support of the POLS hypothesis, we propose (i) conceptual refinements of theory, particularly with respect to the role of ecology in the evolution of (sexual dimorphism in) POLS, and (ii) methodological and statistical approaches to the study of POLS at all major levels of variation. This topical collection further holds (iii) key empirical examples demonstrating how POLS structures may be studied in wild populations of (non) human animals, and (iv) a modelling paper predicting POLS under various ecological conditions. Future POLS research will profit from the development of more explicit theoretical models and stringent empirical tests of model assumptions and predictions, increased focus on how ecology shapes (sex-specific) POLS structures at multiple hierarchical levels, and the usage of appropriate statistical tests and study designs.

To suppress plant immunity and cause disease P.syringae injects type-III effector proteins (T3Es) into the plant cell cytosol. In this study, we identified a novel target of the well characterized bacterial T3E HopZ1a. HopZ1a is an acetyltransferase that was shown to disrupt vesicle transport during innate immunity by acetylating tubulin. Using a yeast-two-hybrid screen approach, we identified a REMORIN (REM) protein from tobacco as a novel HopZ1a target. HopZ1a interacts with REM at the plasma membrane (PM) as shown by split-YFP experiments. Interestingly, we found that PBS1, a well-known kinase involved in plant immunity also interacts with REM in pull-down assays, and at the PM as shown by BiFC. Furthermore, we confirmed that REM is phosphorylated by PBS1 in vitro. Overexpression of REM provokes the upregulation of defense genes and leads to disease-like phenotypes pointing to a role of REM in plant immune signaling. Further protein-protein interaction studies reveal novel REM binding partners with a possible role in plant immune signaling. Thus, REM might act as an assembly hub for an immune signaling complex targeted by HopZ1a. Taken together, this is the first report describing that a REM protein is targeted by a bacterial effector.

The design of the multiuser facility supports-among others-the BIOMEX investigations into the stability and level of degradation of space-exposed biosignatures such as pigments, secondary metabolites, and cell surfaces in contact with a terrestrial and Mars analog mineral environment. In parallel, analysis on the viability of the investigated organisms has provided relevant data for evaluation of the habitability of Mars, for the limits of life, and for the likelihood of an interplanetary transfer of life (theory of lithopanspermia). In this project, lichens, archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria, snow/permafrost algae, meristematic black fungi, and bryophytes from alpine and polar habitats were embedded, grown, and cultured on a mixture of martian and lunar regolith analogs or other terrestrial minerals. The organisms and regolith analogs and terrestrial mineral mixtures were then exposed to space and to simulated Mars-like conditions by way of the EXPOSE-R2 facility. In this special issue, we present the first set of data obtained in reference to our investigation into the habitability of Mars and limits of life. This project was initiated and implemented by the BIOMEX group, an international and interdisciplinary consortium of 30 institutes in 12 countries on 3 continents. Preflight tests for sample selection, results from ground-based simulation experiments, and the space experiments themselves are presented and include a complete overview of the scientific processes required for this space experiment and postflight analysis.

It belongs to the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) family of proteins and is responsible for increased freezing tolerance in plants. COR15A is intrinsically disordered in dilute solutions and adopts a helical structure upon dehydration or in the presence of co-solutes such as TFE and ethylene glycol. This helical structure is thought to be important for protecting plants from dehydration induced by freezing. Multiple protein sequence alignments revealed the presence of several conserved glycine residues that we hypothesize keeps COR15A from becoming helical in dilute solutions. Using AGADIR, the change in helical content of COR15A when these conserved glycine residues were mutated to alanine residues was predicted. Based on the predictions, glycine to alanine mutants were made at position 68, and 54,68,81, and 84. Labeled samples of wildtype COR15A and mutant proteins were purified and NMR experiments were performed to examine any structural changes induced by the mutations. To test the effects of dehydration on the structure of COR15A, trifluoroethanol, an alcohol based co solvent that is proposed to induce/stabilize helical structure in peptides was added to the NMR samples, and the results of the experiment showed an increase in helical content, compared to the samples without TFE. To test the functional differences between wild type and the mutants, liposome leakage assays were performed. The results from these assays suggest the more helical mutants may augment membrane stability.}, language = {en} } @misc{Arnold2019, author = {Arnold, Patrick}, title = {The origin of morphological integration and modularity in the Mammalian Neck}, series = {Journal of morphology}, volume = {280}, journal = {Journal of morphology}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0362-2525}, doi = {10.1002/jmor.21003}, pages = {S13 -- S13}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{RadchukKramerSchadtGrimm2019, author = {Radchuk, Viktoriia and Kramer-Schadt, Stephanie and Grimm, Volker}, title = {Transferability of mechanistic ecological models is about emergence}, series = {Trends in ecology and evolution}, volume = {34}, journal = {Trends in ecology and evolution}, number = {6}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {London}, issn = {0169-5347}, doi = {10.1016/j.tree.2019.01.010}, pages = {487 -- 488}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{NumbergerDreierVullioudetal.2019, author = {Numberger, Daniela and Dreier, Carola and Vullioud, Colin and Gabriel, Guelsah and Greenwood, Alex D. and Grossart, Hans-Peter}, title = {Correction: Recovery of influenza A viruses from lake water and sediments by experimental inoculation (vol 14, e0216880, 2019)}, series = {PLoS one}, volume = {14}, journal = {PLoS one}, number = {6}, publisher = {PLoS}, address = {San Fransisco}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0218882}, pages = {1}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{MogaRobinsonLeimkuehler2019, author = {Moga, A. and Robinson, T. and Leimk{\"u}hler, Silke}, title = {Towards reconstituting a biosynthetic pathway within compartmentalized GUVs}, series = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, volume = {48}, journal = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0175-7571}, pages = {S218 -- S218}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{LucknerDunsingDruekeetal.2019, author = {Luckner, Madlen and Dunsing, Valentin and Dr{\"u}ke, Markus and Zuehlke, B. and Petazzi, Roberto Arturo and Chiantia, Salvatore and Herrmann, A.}, title = {Quantifying protein oligomerization directly in living cells}, series = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, volume = {48}, journal = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0175-7571}, pages = {S183 -- S183}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{DunsingIrmscherBarbirzetal.2019, author = {Dunsing, Valentin and Irmscher, Tobias and Barbirz, Stefanie and Chiantia, Salvatore}, title = {Microviscosity of bacterial biofilm matrix characterized by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and single particle tracking}, series = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, volume = {48}, journal = {European biophysics journal : with biophysics letters ; an international journal of biophysics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0175-7571}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00249-019-01373-4}, pages = {S115 -- S115}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{RodriguezSillkeSteinhoffBojarskietal.2019, author = {Rodriguez-Sillke, Yasmina and Steinhoff, U. and Bojarski, Christian and Lissner, Donata and Schumann, Michael and Branchi, F. and Siegmund, Britta and Glauben, Rainer}, title = {Deep immune profiling of human Peyer´s Patches in patients of inflammatory bowel diseases}, series = {European journal of immunology}, volume = {49}, journal = {European journal of immunology}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0014-2980}, doi = {10.1002/eji.201970300}, pages = {203 -- 204}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{BartholomaeusLenhard2019, author = {Bartholom{\"a}us, Lisa and Lenhard, Michael}, title = {Plant Biology: Learning to Love Yourself}, series = {Current biology}, volume = {29}, journal = {Current biology}, number = {14}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0960-9822}, doi = {10.1016/j.cub.2019.06.015}, pages = {R695 -- R697}, year = {2019}, abstract = {In self-incompatible plants the female style rejects self pollen, yet the extent to which the female style in the many self-compatible species can still select between different pollen genotypes and thus bias fertilization success is unclear.

Yet, it is not well understood how biochemistry of these initial interactions relates to subsequent events that orchestrate phage adsorption and tail rearrangements to initiate cell entry. For many phages, long O\&\#8208;antigen chains found on the LPS of smooth bacterial strains serve as essential receptor recognized by their tailspike proteins (TSP). Many TSP are depolymerases and O\&\#8208;antigen cleavage was described as necessary step for subsequent orientation towards a secondary receptor. However, O\&\#8208;antigen specific host attachment must not always come along with O\&\#8208;antigen degradation. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology Prokhorov et al. report that coliphage G7C carries a TSP that deacetylates O\&\#8208;antigen but does not degrade it, whereas rough strains or strains lacking O\&\#8208;antigen acetylation remain unaffected. Bacteriophage G7C specifically functionalizes its tail by attaching the deacetylase TSP directly to a second TSP that is nonfunctional on the host's O\&\#8208;antigen. This challenges the view that bacteriophages use their TSP only to clear their way to a secondary receptor. Rather, O\&\#8208;antigen specific phages may employ enzymatically active TSP as a tool for irreversible LPS membrane binding to initiate subsequent infection steps.}, language = {en} } @misc{BreuerNowakIvakovetal.2017, author = {Breuer, David and Nowak, Jacqueline and Ivakov, Alexander and Somssich, Marc and Persson, Staffan and Nikoloski, Zoran}, title = {System-wide organization of actin cytoskeleton determines organelle transport in hypocotyl plant cells}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {114}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1712371114}, pages = {E6732 -- E6732}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{BalkGrijpmaLendlein2017, author = {Balk, Maria and Grijpma, Dirk W. and Lendlein, Andreas}, title = {Design and processing of advanced functional polymers for medicine}, series = {Polymers for advanced technologies}, volume = {28}, journal = {Polymers for advanced technologies}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1042-7147}, doi = {10.1002/pat.3980}, pages = {1203 -- 1205}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{BrechunWoolleyArndt2017, author = {Brechun, Katherine E. and Woolley, Andrew and Arndt, Katja Maren}, title = {A Bacterial Bandpass Assay for Protein-Protein Interactions}, series = {Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society}, volume = {26}, journal = {Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0961-8368}, pages = {198 -- 198}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{Lenhard2017, author = {Lenhard, Michael}, title = {Plant Development: Keeping on the Straight and Narrow and Flat}, series = {Current biology}, volume = {27}, journal = {Current biology}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0960-9822}, doi = {10.1016/j.cub.2017.10.030}, pages = {R1277 -- R1280}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{SchellerSakarDasdan2016, author = {Scheller, Frieder W. and Sakar Dasdan, Dolunay}, title = {Selected papers presented on the 2nd International Conference on the New Trends in Chemistry, Zagreb, Croatia, April 19-22, 2016 Preface}, series = {Bulgarian chemical communications : journal of the Chemical Institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and of the Bulgarian Chemical Society = Izvestija po chimija}, volume = {48}, journal = {Bulgarian chemical communications : journal of the Chemical Institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and of the Bulgarian Chemical Society = Izvestija po chimija}, publisher = {Bulgarian Academy of Sciences}, address = {Sofia}, issn = {0324-1130}, pages = {4 -- 4}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{MaierHolzloehnerHoenowetal.2016, author = {Maier, Natalia and Holzl{\"o}hner, Pamela and Hoenow, Anja and Scheunemann, Astrid and Weschke, Daniel and Hanack, Katja}, title = {Characterization of monoclonal antibodies generated by in vitro immunization}, series = {The journal of immunology}, volume = {196}, journal = {The journal of immunology}, publisher = {American Assoc. of Immunologists}, address = {Bethesda}, issn = {0022-1767}, pages = {2}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Monoclonal antibodies are highly valuable tools in biomedicine but the generation by hybridoma technology is very time-consuming and elaborate.

After antigen loading the cells were co-cultivated with naive T and B lymphocytes for three days in order to obtain antigen-specific B lymphocytes in culture, followed by fusion with murine myeloma cells or human/murine heteromyeloma cells. Antigen-specific hybridomas were selected and the generated antibodies were purified and characterized in this study by ELISA, western blot, gene sequencing, affinity measurements. Further the characteristics were compared to a monoclonal antibody against the same target generated by conventional hybridoma technology. Isotype detection revealed a murine IgM and a human IgG4 antibody in comparison to an IgG1 for the conventionally generated antibody. The antibodies derived from in vitro immunization showed indeed a lower affinity for the antigen as compared to the conventionally generated one, which is probably based on the significantly shorter B cell maturation (3 days) during the immunization process. Nevertheless, they were suitable for building up a sandwich based detection system. Therefore, the in vitro immunization approach seems to be a good and particularly fast alternative to conventional hybridoma technology.}, language = {en} } @misc{HanackSchloerHolzloehneretal.2016, author = {Hanack, Katja and Schloer, Anja and Holzloehner, Pamela and Listek, Martin and Bauer, Cindy and Butze, Monique and Micheel, Burkhard and Hentschel, Christian and Sowa, Mandy and Roggenbuck, Dirk and Schierack, Peter and Fuener, Jonas and Schliebs, Erik and Goihl, Alexander and Reinhold, Dirk}, title = {Camelid nanobodies specific to human pancreatic glycoprotein 2}, series = {The journal of immunology}, volume = {196}, journal = {The journal of immunology}, publisher = {American Assoc. of Immunologists}, address = {Bethesda}, issn = {0022-1767}, pages = {313 -- 328}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Pancreatic secretory zymogen-granule membrane glycoprotein 2 (GP2) has been identified to be a major autoantigenic target in Crohn's disease patients.

In the outcome of inflammatory bowel diseases, these GP2-specific autoantibodies are discussed as new serological markers for diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. To investigate this further, camelid nanobodies were generated by phage display and selected against the short isoform of GP2 in order to isolate specific tools for the discrimination of both isoforms. Nanobodies are single domain antibodies derived from camelid heavy chain only antibodies and characterized by a high stability and solubility. The selected candidates were expressed, purified and validated regarding their binding properties in different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays formats, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Four different nanobodies could be selected whereof three recognize the short isoform of GP2 very specifically and one nanobody showed a high binding capacity for both isoforms. The KD values measured for all nanobodies were between 1.3 nM and 2.3 pM indicating highly specific binders suitable for the application as diagnostic tool in inflammatory bowel disease.}, language = {en} } @misc{LechonSanzPollmannetal.2016, author = {Lechon, Tamara and Sanz, Luis and Pollmann, Stephan and Sauer, Michael and Sandalio, Luisa and Lorenzo, Oscar}, title = {Nitric oxide modification of plant endocytosis and PIN1 localization}, series = {New biotechnology}, volume = {33}, journal = {New biotechnology}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1871-6784}, doi = {10.1016/j.nbt.2015.10.028}, pages = {424 -- 424}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{HermanussenIpsenMummetal.2016, author = {Hermanussen, Michael and Ipsen, Josefin and Mumm, Rebekka and Assmann, Christian and Quitmann, Julia and Gomula, Aleksandra and Lehmann, Andreas and Jasch, Isabelle and Tassenaar, Vincent and Bogin, Barry and Satake, Takashi and Scheffler, Christiane and Nunez, Javier and Godina, Elena and Hardeland, Ruediger and Boldsen, Jesper L. and El-Shabrawi, Mortada and Elhusseini, Mona and Barbu, Carmen Gabriela and Pop, Ralucca and Soederhaell, Jani and Merker, Andrea and Swanson, James and Groth, Detlef}, title = {Stunted Growth.

Over time, riding techniques and the style of riding improved. Therefore, horses with the ability to perform comfortable gaits (e.g. ambling or pacing), so-called 'gaited' horses, have been highly valued by humans, especially for long distance travel. Recently, the causative mutation for gaitedness in horses has been linked to a substitution causing a premature stop codon in the DMRT3 gene (DMRT3_Ser301STOP) [1]. In mice, Dmrt3 is expressed in spinal cord interneurons and plays an important role in the development of limb movement coordination [1]. Genotyping the position in 4396 modern horses from 141 breeds revealed that nowadays the mutated allele is distributed worldwide with an especially high frequency in gaited horses and breeds used for harness racing [2]. Here, we examine historic horse remains for the DMRT3 SNP, tracking the origin of gaitedness to Medieval England between 850 and 900 AD. The presence of the corresponding allele in Icelandic horses (9th-11th century) strongly suggests that ambling horses were brought from the British Isles to Iceland by Norse people. Considering the high frequency of the ambling allele in early Icelandic horses, we believe that Norse settlers selected for this comfortable mode of horse riding soon after arrival. The absence of the allele in samples from continental Europe (including Scandinavia) at this time implies that ambling horses may have spread from Iceland and maybe also the British Isles across the continent at a later date.}, language = {en} } @misc{XiangHofreiterZhao2015, author = {Xiang, Hai and Hofreiter, Michael and Zhao, Xingbo}, title = {Reply to Peng et al.: Archaeological contexts should not be ignored for early chicken domestication}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {112}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, number = {16}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1502207112}, pages = {E1972 -- E1973}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @misc{XiangGaoYuetal.2015, author = {Xiang, Hai and Gao, Jianqiang and Yu, Baoquan and Hofreiter, Michael and Zhao, Xingbo}, title = {Reply to Peters et al.: Further discussions confirm early Holocene chicken domestication in northern China}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {112}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, number = {19}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1503956112}, pages = {E2416 -- E2416}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @misc{Boernke2014, author = {Boernke, Frederik}, title = {The complex becomes more complex: protein-protein interactions of SnRK1 with DUF581 family proteins provide a framework for cell- and stimulus type-specific SnRK1 signaling in plants (vol 5, 54, 2014)}, series = {Frontiers in plant science}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in plant science}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1664-462X}, doi = {10.3389/fpls.2014.00693}, pages = {1}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @misc{NikoloskivanDongen2011, author = {Nikoloski, Zoran and van Dongen, Joost T.}, title = {Modeling alternatives for interpreting the change in oxygen-consumption rates during hypoxic conditions}, series = {New phytologist : international journal of plant science}, volume = {190}, journal = {New phytologist : international journal of plant science}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {0028-646X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1469-8137.2011.03674.x}, pages = {273 -- 276}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @misc{PokornySharmaGoyaletal.2011, author = {Pokorny, Ina and Sharma, Reeta and Goyal, Surendra Prakash and Mishra, Sudanshu and Tiedemann, Ralph}, title = {MHC class I and MHC class II DRB gene variability in wild and captive Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) (vol 10, pg 667, 2010)}, series = {Immunogenetics}, volume = {63}, journal = {Immunogenetics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0093-7711}, doi = {10.1007/s00251-010-0496-2}, pages = {121 -- 121}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @misc{NathanHorvitzHeetal.2011, author = {Nathan, Ran and Horvitz, Nir and He, Yanping and Kuparinen, Anna and Schurr, Frank Martin and Katul, Gabriel G.}, title = {Spread of North American wind-dispersed trees in future environments}, series = {Ecology letters}, volume = {14}, journal = {Ecology letters}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1461-023X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1461-0248.2010.01573.x}, pages = {211 -- 219}, year = {2011}, abstract = {P>Despite ample research, understanding plant spread and predicting their ability to track projected climate changes remain a formidable challenge to be confronted.

Predicted spread rates vary substantially among 12 study species, primarily due to inter-specific variation in maturation age, fecundity and seed terminal velocity. Future spread is predicted to be faster if atmospheric CO2 enrichment would increase fecundity and advance maturation, irrespective of the projected changes in mean surface windspeed. Yet, for only a few species, predicted wind-driven spread will match future climate changes, conditioned on seed abscission occurring only in strong winds and environmental conditions favouring high survival of the farthest-dispersed seeds.

The alpha-type PI4Ks (similar to 220 kDa) contain a PH domain, which is lacking in beta-type PI4Ks (similar to 120 kDa). beta-Type PI4Ks, exemplified by Arabidopsis AtPI4K beta and rice OsPI4K2, contain a highly charged repetitive segment designated PPC (Plant PI4K Charged) region, which is an unique domain only found in plant beta-type PI4Ks at present. The PPC region has a length of similar to 300 amino acids and harboring 11 (AtPI4K beta) and 14 (OsPI4K2) repeats, respectively, of a 20-aa motif. Studies employing a modified yeast-based "Sequence of Membrane- Targeting Detection'' system demonstrate that the PPC(OsPI4K2) region, as well as the former 8 and latter 6 repetitive motifs within the PPC region, are able to target fusion proteins to the plasma membrane. Further detection on the transiently expressed GFP fusion proteins in onion epidermal cells showed that the PPC(OsPI4K2) region alone, as well as the region containing repetitive motifs 1-8, was able to direct GFP to the plasma membrane, while the regions containing less repetitive motifs, i.e. 6, 4, 2 or single motif(s) led to predominantly intracellular localization. Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression of PPC-GFP fusion protein further confirms the membrane-targeting capacities of PPC region. In addition, the predominant plasma membrane localization of AtPI4Kb was mediated by the PPC region. Recombinant PPC peptide, expressed in E. coli, strongly binds phosphatidic acid, PI and PI4P, but not phosphatidylcholine, PI5P, or PI(4,5) P-2 in vitro, providing insights into potential mechanisms for regulating sub- cellular localization and lipid binding for the plant beta-type PI4Ks}, language = {en} } @misc{Gzik1997, author = {Gzik, Axel}, title = {Gef{\"a}ßversuche zur Beurteilung von Korrelation zwischen Standortfaktoren und vitalit{\"a}tsbestimmenden Stoffwechselparametern in charakteristischen Pflanzenarten typischer Feuchtwiesengesellschaften.}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @misc{Kehr2005, author = {Kehr, Julia}, title = {Untersuchungen der Proteine in den Langstreckentransportsystemen h{\"o}herer Pflanzen}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {45 Bl. ; graph.
