A companion to the philosophy of biology

There are many different ways to do the philosophy of biology. At one end of a spectrum of possibilities would be works of general philosophical interest drawing on biological examples for illustration and support. At the other end would be works that deal only with conceptual and methodological issues that arise within the practice of biology. The strategy of this book is closer to the second …

The Gene Ontology Handbook

The Gene Ontology (GO) is the leading project to organize biological knowledge on genes and their products in a formal and consistent way across genomic resources. This has had a profound impact at several levels. First, such standardization has made possible the integration of multiple resources and sources of knowledge, thereby increasing their discoverability and simplifying their usage.…

Determination of tropical deforestation rates and related carbon losses from …

Abstract We estimate changes in forest cover (deforestation and forest regrowth) in the tropics for the two last decades (1990–2000 and 2000–2010) based on a sample of 4000 units of 10 910 km size. Forest cover is interpreted from satellite imagery at 30 9 30 m resolution. Forest cover changes are then combined with pan-tropical biomass maps to estimate carbon losses. We show that there wa…

They also represent a conceptual shift, away fro…

THF1 mutations lead to increased basal and wound‐induced levels of oxylipin…

Mutants defective in chloroplast development or photosynthesis are liable to accumulate higher levels of anthocyanin in photo‐oxidative stress. However, regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the mutants remain unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which the deletion of thylakoid formation1 (THF1) leads to an increased level of anthocyanin in Arabidopsis thaliana L. Ph…

Diversity, ecology and evolution of groundwater copepods

SUMMARY: 1. With few exceptions, copepods dominate over other crustacean and non-crustacean invertebrate groups in ground water. They have colonised a vast array of habitats in continental ground waters, where they are represented by over 1000 species in six orders: Platycopioida, Misophrioida, Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Harpacticoida, Gelyelloida. However, members of only the last four orders ent…

A general method for assaying homo- and hetero-transglycanase activities that…

Abstract: Transglycanases (endotransglycosylases) cleave a polysaccharide (donor-substrate) in mid-chain, and then transfer a portion onto another poly- or oligosaccharide (acceptor-substrate). Such enzymes contribute to plant cellwall assembly and/or re-structuring. We sought a general method for revealing novel homo- and hetero-transglycanases, applicable to diverse polysaccharides and oligos…

Multiple stressors in north temperate streams: lessons from linked forest–s…

SUMMARY 1. Streams are highly connected to their landscapes and so are easily altered by multiple stressors that affect both uplands and riparian zones, and the streams themselves. These include dams and diversions, channelisation, deforestation, water pollution, biological invasions and climate change. 2. We review research conducted in Hokkaido Island, northern Japan, which measured the eff…

Distribution, structure and biosynthetic gene families of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan …

Abstract In cereals, the presence of soluble polysaccharides including (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan has downstream implications for human health, animal feed and biofuel applications. Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a versatile crop, but there are limited reports regarding the content of such soluble polysaccharides. Here, the amount of (1,3;1,4)-b-glucan present in sorghum tissues was measured using a Me…

A primer on mathematical models in biology

It was on a placid canoe trip at a Gordon Conference in 2002 that Lee Segel told me that he was writing a new book in mathematical biology. In the prime of his health and at the peak of his mathematical career, Lee asked me to agree to act as shepherd to this book “in case” anything happened to prevent his completion of the project. The request was purely “academic” at that time, an…

Thermodynamic Post-Processing versus GC-Content Pre-Processing for DNA Codes …

Stochastic, meta-heuristic and linear construction algorithms for the design of DNA strands satisfying Hamming distance and reverse-complement constraints often use a GC-content constraint to pre-process the DNA strands. Since GC-content is a poor predictor of DNA strand hybridization strength the strands can be filtered by post-processing using thermodynamic calculations. An alternative approa…

Hierarchical Probabilistic Interaction Modeling for Multiple Gene Expression …

Microarray technology allows for the collection of multiple replicates of gene expression time course data for hundreds of genes at a handful of time points. Developing hypotheses about a gene transcriptional network, based on time course gene expression data is an important and very challenging problem. In many situations there are similarities which suggest a hierarchical structure between t…

Fast Entropic Profiler: An Information Theoretic Approach for the Discovery o…

Information theory has been used for quite some time in the area of computational biology. In this paper we present a pattern discovery method, named Fast Entropic Profiler, that is based on a local entropy function that captures the importance of a region with respect to the whole genome. The local entropy function has been introduced by Vinga and Almeida in [29], here we discuss and improve t…

Effect of Incomplete Lineage Sorting On Tree-Reconciliation-Based Inference o…

In the tree reconciliation approach to infer the duplication history of a gene family, the gene (family) tree is compared to the corresponding species tree. Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) gives rise to stochastic variation in the topology of a gene tree and hence likely introduces false duplication events when a tree reconciliation method is used. We quantify the effect of ILS on gene duplica…

Detecting Differentially Coexpressed Genes from Labeled Expression Data: A Br…

We review methods for capturing differential coexpression, which can be divided into two cases by the size of gene sets: 1) two paired genes and 2) multiple genes. In the first case, two genes are positively and negatively correlated with each other under one and the other conditions, respectively. In the second case, multiple genes are coexpressed and randomly expressed under one and the other…

Biogeochemistry of Marine Systems

Marine biogeochemistry is a broad, interdisciplinary subject overlapping a range of other disciplines such as marine chemistry, geochemistry, ecology, physiology and oceanography, but in its own right it has become pivotal to progress in marine research in recent years. As a key component of the ‘earth system’, marine biogeochemistry interfaces directly with terrestrial, atmospheric and…

Soybean biology, agronomy, and utilization

In a relatively brief period the soybean has become a major crop plant in the United States. Based on the utilization of the bean, or products therefrom, a substantial soybean industry has also developed. Its uses, agricultural and industrial, primarily depend on the high content of both protein (ca. 40%) and oil (ca. 20%) in the bean. Soybeans are a cash crop and provide a significant par…

The Asian rice gall midge (Orseolia oryzae Wood‐Mason) is a serious pest of rice that causes huge loss in yield. While feeding inside the susceptible host, maggots secrete substances that facilitate the formation of a hollow tube‐like structure called gall and prevent panicle formation. The present investigation was carried out to get an account of biochemical changes occurring in the rice …

Transport, signaling, and homeostasis of potassium and sodium in plants

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of K+ significantly reduces the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium (Na+), while beneficial to some extent, at high concentrations it disturbs and inhibits various physiological processes and plant growth. Due to their chemical similarities, some functions of K+ can be undertaken by Na+ but K+ homeost…

Using nuclear gene data for plant phylogenetics: Progress and prospects II. N…

Single and low copy nuclear genes offer a larger number of, and more rapidly evolving, characters than the chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal gene sequences that have dominated plant phylogenetic studies to date. Until recently, only one or a few low copy nuclear gene markers were included in such studies. Now, the rapid adoption of “next generation sequencing” (NGS) techniques offers sim…

Expression patterns of AP1, FUL, FT and LEAFY orthologs in Vitaceae support t…

The leaf-opposed tendril, a characteristic organ in Vitaceae (grape family), is likely a morphological key innovation for the family. It has been considered as the homologous organ of the inflorescence. Expression of floral related genes has been studied extensively in the model species, grapevine (Vitis vinifera), to uncover molecular mechanisms that determine the development of a common un…

What became of Hystrix?

Hystrix Moench was a perennial genus of the Triticeae. Its members differed from those of other genera in the tribe in lacking glumes. The type species is H. patula Moench, a North American taxon. When it became accepted that H. patula should be included in Elymus, Hystrix could not be used as a generic name. The problem became how to treat the other species that had been included in Hystrix…

Better than nothing: Evolution of autonomous selfing under strong inbreeding …

In plants with infrequent pollinator services, the benefits of reproductive assurance could be eroded by severe ovule discounting and inbreeding depression (ID). However, it remains unclear how selfing evolves under complete pollinator failure and strong ID. We examined the mating system and ID under netting and robbing conditions in Comastoma pulmonarium (Turcz.) Toyok. (Gentianaceae), an a…

Museomics illuminate the history of an extinct,paleoendemic plant lineage (He…

Museum collections are essential for understanding biodiversity and next-generation sequencing methods (NGS) offer new opportunities to generate genomic data on specimens of extinct species for phylogenetic and other studies. Hesperelaea is a monotypic Oleaceae genus that was collected only once, 140 years ago on Guadalupe Island, Mexico. This lineage is almost certainly extinct, and has bee…

Significant differences are observed in the FA profiles of lipids isolated from paras…

Novel JAZ co-operativity and unexpected JA dynamics underpin Arabidopsis defe…

Pathogens target phytohormone signalling pathways to promote disease. Plants deploy salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defences against biotrophs. Pathogens antagonize SA immunity by activating jasmonate signalling, for example Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 produces coronatine (COR), a jasmonic acid (JA) mimic. This study found unexpected dynamics between SA, JA and COR and co-operation be…

Montane refugia isolation and plateau population expansion:Phylogeography of …

Climate oscillations and landscape heterogeneity make the historical population processes of organisms of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau quite complex. We used chloroplast DNA sequences and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLPs) to study the phylogeography and genetic variation of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau endemic Spenceria ramalana Trimen. The parsimony network contains two star‐li…

Silencing Nicotiana attenuata LHY and ZTL alters circadian rhythms in flowers

The rhythmic opening/closing and volatile emissions of flowers are known to attract pollinators at specific times. That these rhythms are maintained under constant light or dark conditions suggests a circadian clock involvement. Although a forward and reverse genetic approach has led to the identification of core circadian clock components in Arabidopsis thaliana, the involvement of these clo…

A simple method for estimating species abundance from occurrencemaps

1. The issue of how to estimate species abundance from presence/absence maps has attracted much attention. Several methods have been developed to address this problem. However, those methods either overlook the structure of spatial autocorrelation of species distribution, thus leading to underestimation, or they demand extra information besides presence/absencemaps. 2. This study first deve…
