title: A revision of the syntaxonomy of the Apennine-Balkan <i>Quercus cerris</i> and <i>Q. frainetto</i> forests and correct application of the name <i>Melittio-Quercion frainetto</i>.

description: <i>Melittio-Quercion frainetto</i> and <i>Melittio-Quercion confertae</i> are two alliances, which were proposed about simultaneously 40 years ago through two different papers regarding southern Italy and southern Greece, respectively. The aims of this paper are to establish valid name, nomenclatural type and distribution range of these two alliances and to verify whether they display a sufficient degree of syntaxonomic autonomy when compared to the ecologically and geographically neighbouring alliances. A data matrix composed of 43 frequency columns summing 1242 phytosociological relevés x 625 taxa was prepared and statistically analysed. The results suggested that the thermophilous <i>Quercus cerris</i> and <i>Q. frainetto</i> oak woods of the southern Apennines and the southern Balkans deserve to be classified in two separated alliances. The application of the principle IV of ICPN established that the correct name of the alliance is <i>Melittio albidae-Quercion frainetto</i> Barbéro, Bonin, Gamisans et Quézel in Bonin et Gamisans 1976 and that it was typified in southern Italy. Accordingly, the new name <i>Geranio asphodeloidis-Quercion frainetto</i> is here proposed for southern Greece in substitution of <i>Melittio-Quercion confertae</i> (<i>nom. illeg</i>.). The syntaxonomic proposal advanced in this paper brings significant modifications in the current version of the checklist of the European syntaxa (Eurovegchecklist).

title: Cerebral haemodynamics during motor imagery of self-feeding with chopsticks: differences between dominant and non-dominant hand

description: <b>Purpose:</b> Motor imagery is defined as a dynamic state during which a subject mentally simulates a given action without overt movements. Our aim was to use near-infrared spectroscopy to investigate differences in cerebral haemodynamics during motor imagery of self-feeding with chopsticks using the dominant or non-dominant hand. <b>Materials and methods:</b> Twenty healthy right-handed people participated in this study. The motor imagery task involved eating sliced cucumber pickles using chopsticks with the dominant (right) or non-dominant (left) hand. Activation of regions of interest (pre-supplementary motor area, supplementary motor area, pre-motor area, pre-frontal cortex, and sensorimotor cortex was assessed. <b>Results:</b> Motor imagery vividness of the dominant hand tended to be significantly higher than that of the non-dominant hand. The time of peak oxygenated haemoglobin was significantly earlier in the right pre-frontal cortex than in the supplementary motor area and left pre-motor area. Haemodynamic correlations were detected in more regions of interest during dominant-hand motor imagery than during non-dominant-hand motor imagery. <b>Conclusions:</b> Haemodynamics might be affected by differences in motor imagery vividness caused by variations in motor manipulation.

title: See the attached file for 6 titles from Multimodality and the origin of a novel communication system in face-to-face interaction

description: Face-to-face communication is multimodal at its core: it consists of a combination of vocal and visual signalling. However, current evidence suggests that, in the absence of an established communication system, visual signalling, especially in the form of visible gesture, is a more powerful form of communication than vocalization, and therefore likely to have played a primary role in the emergence of human language. This argument is based on experimental evidence of how vocal and visual modalities (i.e. gesture) are employed to communicate about familiar concepts when participants cannot use their existing languages. To investigate this further, we introduce an experiment where pairs of participants performed a referential communication task in which they described unfamiliar stimuli in order to reduce reliance on conventional signals. Visual and auditory stimuli were described in three conditions: using visible gestures only, using non-linguistic vocalizations only and given the option to use both (multimodal communication). The results suggest that even in the absence of conventional signals, gesture is a more powerful mode of communication compared with vocalization, but that there are also advantages to multimodality compared to using gesture alone. Participants with an option to produce multimodal signals had comparable accuracy to those using only gesture, but gained an efficiency advantage. The analysis of the interactions between participants showed that interactants developed novel communication systems for unfamiliar stimuli by deploying different modalities flexibly to suit their needs and by taking advantage of multimodality when required.

title: Study on the efficiency of dsRNAs with increasing length in RNA-based silencing of the <i>Fusarium CYP51</i> genes

description: Previously, we have demonstrated that transgenic <i>Arabidopsis</i> and barley plants, expressing a 791 nucleotide (nt) dsRNA (CYP3RNA) that targets all three <i>CYP51</i> genes (<i>FgCYP51A, FgCYP51B, FgCYP51C</i>) in <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> (<i>Fg</i>), inhibited fungal infection via a process designated as host-induced gene silencing (HIGS). More recently, we have shown that spray applications of CYP3RNA also protect barley from fungal infection via a process termed spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS). Thus, RNAi technology may have the potential to revolutionize plant protection in agriculture. Therefore, successful field application will require optimization of RNAi design necessary to maximize the efficacy of the RNA silencing construct for making RNAi-based strategies a realistic and sustainable approach in agriculture. Previous studies indicate that silencing is correlated with the number of siRNAs generated from a dsRNA precursor. To prove the hypothesis that silencing efficiency is correlated with the number of siRNAs processed out of the dsRNA precursor, we tested in a HIGS and SIGS approach dsRNA precursors of increasing length ranging from 400 nt to 1500 nt to assess gene silencing efficiency of individual <i>FgCYP51</i> genes. Concerning HIGS-mediated disease control, we found that there is no significant correlation between the length of the dsRNA precursor and the reduction of <i>Fg</i> infection on CYP51-dsRNA-expressing <i>Arabidopsis</i> plants. Importantly and in clear contrast to HIGS, we measured a decrease in SIGS-mediated <i>Fg</i> disease resistance that significantly correlates with the length of the dsRNA construct that was sprayed, indicating that the size of the dsRNA interferes with a sufficient uptake of dsRNAs by the fungus.

title: Determining the amino acid composition of every protein in Escherichia coli K-12

description: Understanding the amino acid composition of every protein in a microorganism may be the first step in gaining an appreciation of the metabolic needs of a species. Specifically, amino acid composition of proteins informs the cellular need for each amino acid, and this in turn, provides a glimpse into the metabolic need of the cell. This may hold implications for how the different biosynthesis pathway for each amino acid are regulated. On the other hand, information on amino acid composition of an organism also guide the formulation of a suitable growth medium for the species in view of enabling it to attain fast growth. But, all these discussions must be taken in light of the fact that not all genes in a genome are expressed at any point in time. Using an in-house MATLAB software, the amino acid composition of every protein in <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 was calculated. Raw proteome information of the species was obtained from UniProt (accession number: UP000000625), and processed to yield a database comprising protein name, protein amino acid sequence, and the percentage of each amino acid in the protein sequence. Amino acid composition is presented as percentage of each amino acid, which is identified by their single letter abbreviation. Overall, the presented database should find use in fundamental studies aiming to calculate the total metabolic need of <i>E. coli</i> K-12 with respect to amino acid utilization, as well as assessing the compendium of relatively heavily utilized amino acid that may need supplementation in the growth medium.<br><br>

title: Genome-wide evolution of wobble base-pairing nucleotides of branchpoint motifs with increasing organismal complexity

description: How have the branchpoint motifs evolved in organisms of different complexity? Here we identified and examined the consensus motifs (R<sub>1</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>3</sub>R<sub>4</sub>A<sub>5</sub>Y<sub>6</sub>, R: A or G, Y: C or T) of 898 fungal genomes. In Ascomycota unicellular yeasts, the G<sub>4</sub>/A<sub>4</sub> ratio is mostly (98%) below 0.125 but increases sharply in multicellular species by about 40 times on average, and in the more complex Basidiomycota, it increases further by about 7 times. The global G<sub>4</sub> increase is consistent with A<sub>4</sub> to G<sub>4</sub> transitions in evolution. Of the G<sub>4</sub>/A<sub>4</sub>-interacting amino acids of the branchpoint binding protein MSL5 (SF1) and the HSH155 (SF3B1), as well as the 5ʹ splice sites (SS) and <i>U2</i> snRNA genes, the 5ʹ SS G<sup>3</sup>/A<sup>3</sup> co-vary with the G<sub>4</sub> to some extent. However, corresponding increase of the G<sub>4</sub>-complementary GCAGTA-<i>U2</i> gene is rare, suggesting wobble-base pairing between the G<sub>4</sub>-containing branchpoint motif and GTAGTA-<i>U2</i> in most of these species. Interestingly, the G<sub>4</sub>/A<sub>4</sub> ratio correlates well with the abundance of alternative splicing in the two phyla, and G<sub>4</sub> enriched significantly at the alternative 3' SS of genes in RNA metabolism, kinases and membrane proteins. Similar wobble nucleotides also enriched at the 3' SS of multicellular fungi with only thousands of protein-coding genes. Thus, branchpoint motifs have evolved U2-complementarity in unicellular Ascomycota yeasts, but have gradually gained more wobble base-pairing nucleotides in fungi of higher complexity, likely to destabilize branchpoint motif-U2 interaction and/or branchpoint A protrusion for alternative splicing. This implies an important role of relaxing the branchpoint signals in the multicellularity and further complexity of fungi.
