Abstract
The inter-subspecific indica-japonica hybrid rice confer potential higher yield than the widely used indica-indica intra-subspecific hybrid rice. Nevertheless, the utilization of this strong heterosis is currently hindered by asynchronous diurnal floret opening time (DFOT) of indica and japonica parental lines. Here, we identify OsMYB8 as a key regulator of rice DFOT. OsMYB8 induces the transcription of JA-Ile synthetase OsJAR1, thereby regulating the expression of genes related to cell osmolality and cell wall remodeling in lodicules to promote floret opening. Natural variations of OsMYB8 promoter contribute to its differential expression, thus differential transcription of OsJAR1 and accumulation of JA-Ile in lodicules of indica and japonica subspecies. Furthermore, introgression of the indica haplotype of OsMYB8 into japonica effectively promotes DFOT in japonica. Our findings reveal an OsMYB8-OsJAR1 module that regulates differential DFOT in indica and japonica, and provide a strategy for breeding early DFOT japonica to facilitate breeding of indica-japonica hybrids.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) . Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 68 patients with testicular DLBCL admitted to Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2001 to April 2020. The gene mutation profile was evaluated by targeted sequencing (55 lymphoma-related genes) , and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results: A total of 68 patients were included, of whom 45 (66.2% ) had primary testicular DLBCL and 23 (33.8% ) had secondary testicular DLBCL. The proportion of secondary testicular DLBCL patients with Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P<0.001) , elevated LDH (P<0.001) , ECOG score ≥ 2 points (P=0.005) , and IPI score 3-5 points (P<0.001) is higher than that of primary testicular DLBCL patients. Sixty-two (91% ) patients received rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) -based first-line regimen, whereas 54 cases (79% ) underwent orchiectomy prior to chemotherapy. Patients with secondary testicular DLBCL had a lower estimated 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (16.5% vs 68.1% , P<0.001) and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (63.4% vs 74.9% , P=0.008) than those with primary testicular DLBCL, and their complete remission rate (57% vs 91% , P=0.003) was also lower than that of primary testicular DLBCL. The ECOG scores of ≥2 (PFS: P=0.018; OS: P<0.001) , Ann Arbor stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ (PFS: P<0.001; OS: P=0.018) , increased LDH levels (PFS: P=0.015; OS: P=0.006) , and multiple extra-nodal involvements (PFS: P<0.001; OS: P=0.013) were poor prognostic factors in testicular DLBCL. Targeted sequencing data in 20 patients with testicular DLBCL showed that the mutation frequencies of ≥20% were PIM1 (12 cases, 60% ) , MYD88 (11 cases, 55% ) , CD79B (9 cases, 45% ) , CREBBP (5 cases, 25% ) , KMT2D (5 cases, 25% ) , ATM (4 cases, 20% ) , and BTG2 (4 cases, 20% ) . The frequency of mutations in KMT2D in patients with secondary testicular DLBCL was higher than that in patients with primary testicular DLBCL (66.7% vs 7.1% , P=0.014) and was associated with a lower 5-year PFS rate in patients with testicular DLBCL (P=0.019) . Conclusion: Patients with secondary testicular DLBCL had worse PFS and OS than those with primary testicular DLBCL. The ECOG scores of ≥2, Ann Arbor stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ, increased LDH levels, and multiple extra-nodal involvements were poor prognostic factors in testicular DLBCL. PIM1, MYD88, CD79B, CREBBP, KMT2D, ATM, and BTG2 were commonly mutated genes in testicular DLBCL, and the prognosis of patients with KMT2D mutations was poor.

Abstract
Root lodging poses a major threat to maize production, resulting in reduced grain yield and quality, and increased harvest costs. Here, we combined expressional, genetic, and cytological studies to demonstrate a role of ZmYUC2 and ZmYUC4 in regulating gravitropic response of the brace root and lodging resistance in maize. We show that both ZmYUC2 and ZmYUC4 are preferentially expressed in root tips with partially overlapping expression patterns, and the protein products of ZmYUC2 and ZmYUC4 are localized in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. The Zmyuc4 single mutant and Zmyuc2/4 double mutant exhibit enlarged brace root angle compared with the wild-type plants, with larger brace root angle being observed in the Zmyuc2/4 double mutant. Consistently, the brace root tips of the Zmyuc4 single mutant and Zmyuc2/4 double mutant accumulate less auxin and are defective in proper reallocation of auxin in response to gravi-stimuli. Furthermore, we show that the Zmyuc4 single mutant and the Zmyuc2/4 double mutant display obviously enhanced root lodging resistance. Our combined results demonstrate that ZmYUC2- and ZmYUC4-mediated local auxin biosynthesis is required for normal gravity response of the brace roots and provide effective targets for breeding root lodging resistant maize cultivars.

Abstract
Stigma exsertion rate (SER) of the male sterile line is a key limiting factor for hybrid seed production in rice. Although a large number of quantitative trait loci associated with SER have been reported, few genes have been molecularly cloned and functionally characterized, severely hindering the genetic improvement of SER of the male sterile line and the breeding efficiency of hybrid rice. In this study, we identified three grain shape regulatory genes, GS3, GW8 and GS9, as potential candidate genes for targeted manipulation of grain shape and SER. We show that simultaneously knocking out these three genes could effectively increase SER by increasing the ratio of spikelet length/spikelet width and length of stigma and style, without negative impacts on other agronomic traits. Cellular examination and transcriptomic analyses revealed a role of these genes in coordinated regulation of transverse and longitudinal cell division in the pistils. Moreover, we demonstrate that targeted manipulation of these grain shape genes could significantly improve the outcrossing rate in both the ZH11 (a japonica variety) and Zhu6S (an indica male sterile line) backgrounds. Our results provide new insights into the mechanisms of rice SER regulation and develop an effective strategy to improve SER and out-crossing rate in rice, thus facilitating hybrid rice production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pro-, pre-, and synbiotic supplements improve cardiovascular risk factors. However, the association between nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics (NPPS) and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality has not been studied. Thus, our objective was to determine the impact of nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a retrospective, cohort study of 4837 nationally representative American participants aged 65 years or older with a median follow-up duration of 77 months. MEASUREMENTS All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were measured. RESULTS A total of 1556 participants died during the median 77-month follow-up, and 517 died from cardiovascular disease. Compared with participants without NPPS use, participants who used NPPS experienced a reduced risk of all-cause mortality by nearly 41% (hazard ratio 0.59, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.79) and cardiovascular mortality by 52% (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.76). Such an effect persisted in most subgroup analyses and complete-case analyses. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In this study, we found a protective effect of NPPS against all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Americans aged 65 years or older. Nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics can be a novel, inexpensive, low-risk treatment addition for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality for older individuals.

Abstract
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a crucial class of plant hormones that regulate plant growth and development, thus affecting many important agronomic traits in crops. However, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the BR signalling pathway in rice. In this study, we provide multiple lines of evidence to indicate that BR-SIGNALING KINASE1-1 (OsBSK1-1) likely represents a missing component in the BR signalling pathway in rice. We showed that knockout mutants of OsBSK1-1 are less sensitive to BR and exhibit a pleiotropic phenotype, including lower plant height, less tiller number and shortened grain length, whereas transgenic plants overexpressing a gain-of-function dominant mutant form of OsBSK1-1 (OsBSK1-1A295V) are hypersensitive to BR, and exhibit some enhanced BR-responsive phenotypes. We found that OsBSK1-1 physically interacts with the BR receptor BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 (OsBRI1), and GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE2 (OsGSK2), a downstream component crucial for BR signalling. Moreover, we showed that OsBSK1-1 can be phosphorylated by OsBRI1 and can inhibit OsGSK2-mediated phosphorylation of BRASSINOSTEROID RESISTANT1 (OsBZR1). We further demonstrated that OsBSK1-1 genetically acts downstream of OsBRI1, but upstream of OsGSK2. Together, our results suggest that OsBSK1-1 may serve as a scaffold protein directly bridging OsBRI1 and OsGSK2 to positively regulate BR signalling, thus affecting plant architecture and grain size in rice.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is considered as an emerging effective means to augment plant photosynthesis. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in this field. Here, we applied the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) on lettuce leaves and found that the UCNPs were able to transport into the lettuce body and colocalize with the chloroplasts. It was proved that UCNPs could harvest the near-infrared light of sunlight and increase the electron transfer rate in the photosynthesis process, thus increasing the photosynthesis rate. The gene expression analysis showed that more than 90% of gene expression in photosynthesis was upregulated. After spraying the UCNP solution on the leaves of lettuce and placing the lettuce under sunlight for 1 week, the wet/dry weight of the leaves increased by 53.33% and 45.71%, respectively. This nanoengineering of light-harvesting UCNPs may have great potential for applications in agriculture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the effects of dezocine combined with dexmedetomidine on adverse reactions and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after intestinal surgery and its protective effect on the heart in the perioperative period. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 80 patients treated with HIPEC after intestinal surgery in our hospital from September 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled as research subjects. All patients were evenly divided into two groups using a random number table. As to analgesia and sedation during treatment, dezocine was injected intramuscularly at 30 min before treatment in the control group. Meanwhile, dezocine combined with dexmedetomidine was given in the same way in the observation group. Adverse reactions and changes in numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score during intervention were compared between the two groups. The changes in the levels of inflammatory and myocardial injury-related factors, and vascular endothelial function and regeneration ability among cardiovascular indicators at 12 h after intervention were compared as well. Additionally, the correlations of left ventricular mass index (LVMI) with the changes in the levels of inflammatory factor high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), myocardial injury-related factor lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), vascular endothelial function indicator endothelin-1 (ET-1) and cardiovascular regeneration ability index vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with control group, the total prevalence rate of severe pain, respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and muscle rigidity during intervention was significantly reduced in the observation group (p<0.05). NRS pain score at 1, 4, 8 and 12 h after intervention decreased remarkably in the observation group compared with the control group (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and hs-CRP, and myocardial injury-related factors LDH and creatine kinase MB (CKMB) as well as ET-1 at 12 h after intervention declined remarkably in observation group compared with control group (p<0.05). However, the levels of nitric oxide (NO), VEGF and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) rose significantly in the observation group (p<0.05). Besides, LVMI was positively correlated with hs-CRP and LDH, whereas was negatively associated with ET-1 and VEGF (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In HIPEC, dezocine combined with dexmedetomidine used for sedation and analgesia is able to effectively reduce adverse reactions and relieve inflammatory responses in vivo, exerting a cardio-protective effect.

Abstract
High-density planting is an effective measure for increasing crop yield per unit land area. Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of crops. Upright leaves allow better light capture in canopy under high-density planting, thus enhancing photosynthesis efficiency, ventilation and stress resistance, and ultimately higher grain yield. Here, we summarized the latest progress on the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating LA formation in rice and maize. We suggest several standing out questions for future studies and then propose some promising strategies to manipulate LA for breeding of cereal crops tailored for high-density planting.

Abstract
Strigolactones (SLs) are a recently identified class of phytohormones that regulate diverse developmental processes in land plants. However, the signaling mechanism of SLs in maize (Zea mays) remains largely unexplored. Here, we identified the maize gene DWARF 53 (ZmD53) and demonstrated that ZmD53 interacts with the SL receptors DWARF 14A/B (ZmD14A/B) in a rac-GR24-dependent manner. Transgenic maize plants expressing a gain-of-function mutant version of Zmd53 exhibited insensitivity to exogenous rac-GR24 treatment and a highly pleiotropic phenotype, including excess tillering and reduced tassel branching, indicating that ZmD53 functions as an authentic SL signaling repressor in maize. In addition, we showed that ZmD53 interacts with two homologous maize SPL transcription factors, UB3 and TSH4, and suppresses their transcriptional activation activity on TB1 to promote tillering. We also showed that UB2, UB3, and TSH4 can physically interact with each other and themselves, and that they can directly regulate the expression of TSH4, thus forming a positive feedback loop. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ZmD53 can repress the transcriptional activation activity of UB3 and TSH4 on their own promoters, thus decreasing tassel branch number. Our results reveal new insights into the integration of SL signaling and the miR156/SPL molecular module to coordinately regulate maize development.

Abstract
PURPOSE Growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas (GH-PAs) are common subtypes of functional PAs. Invasive GH-PAs play a key role in restricting poor outcomes. The transcriptional changes in GH-PAs were evaluated. METHODS In this study, the transcriptome analysis of six different GH-PA samples was performed. The functional roles, co-regulatory network, and chromosome location of differentially expressed (DE) genes in invasive GH-PAs were explored. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis revealed 101 DE mRNAs and 70 DE long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) between invasive and non-invasive GH-PAs. Functional enrichment analysis showed that epithelial cell differentiation and development pathways were suppressed in invasive GH-PAs, whereas the pathways of olfactory transduction, retinol metabolism, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450, and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 had an active trend. In the protein-protein interaction network, 11 main communities were characterized by cell- adhesion, -motility, and -cycle; transport process; phosphorus and hormone metabolic processes. The SGK1 gene was suggested to play a role in the invasiveness of GH-PAs. Furthermore, the up-regulated genes OR51B6, OR52E4, OR52E8, OR52E6, OR52N2, MAGEA6, MAGEC1, ST8SIA6-AS1, and the down-regulated genes GAD1-AS1 and SPINT1-AS1 were identified in the competing endogenous RNA network. The RT-qPCR results further supported the aberrant expression of those genes. Finally, the enrichment of DE genes in chromosome 11p15 and 12p13 regions were detected. CONCLUSION Our findings provide a new perspective for studies evaluating the underlying mechanism of invasive GH-PAs.

Abstract
The epidermal hair and stomata are two types of specialized structures on the surface of plant leaves. On mature maize leaves, stomatal complexes and three types of hairs are distributed in a stereotyped pattern on the adaxial epidermis. However, the spatiotemporal relationship between epidermal hair and stomata development and the regulatory mechanisms governing their formation in maize remain largely unknown. Here, we report that three homologous ZmSPL transcription factors, ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14 and ZmSPL26, act in concert to promote epidermal hair fate on maize leaf. Cytological analyses revealed that Zmspl10/14/26 triple mutants are completely glabrous, but possess ectopic stomatal files. Strikingly, the precursor cells for prickle and bicellular hairs are transdifferentiated into ectopic stomatal complexes in the Zmspl10/14/26 mutants. Molecular analyses demonstrated that ZmSPL10/14/26 bind directly to the promoter of a WUSCHEL-related homeobox gene, ZmWOX3A, and upregulate its expression in the hair precursor cells. Moreover, several auxin-related genes are downregulated in the Zmspl10/14/26 triple mutants. Our results suggest that ZmSPL10/14/26 play a key role in promoting epidermal hair fate on maize leaves, possibly through regulating ZmWOX3A and auxin-related gene expression, and that the fates of epidermal hairs and stomata are switchable.

Abstract
The secretory cavity is a typical structure in Citrus fruit and is formed by schizolysigeny. Previous reports have indicated that programmed cell death (PCD) is involved in the degradation of secretory cavity cells in the fruit, and that the spatio-temporal location of calcium is closely related to nuclear DNA degradation in this process; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this Ca2+ regulation remain largely unknown. Here, we identified CgCaN that encodes a Ca2+-dependent DNase in the fruit of Citrus grandis 'Tomentosa', the function of which was studied using calcium ion localization, DNase activity assays, in situ hybridization, and protein immunolocalization. The results suggested that the full-length cDNA of CgCaN contains an ORF of 1011 bp that encodes a protein 336 amino acids in length with a SNase-like functional domain. CgCaN digests dsDNA at neutral pH in a Ca2+-dependent manner. In situ hybridization signals of CgCaN were particularly distributed in the secretory cavity cells. Ca2+ and Ca2+-dependent DNases were mainly observed in the condensed chromatin and in the nucleolus. In addition, spatio-temporal expression patterns of CgCaN and its protein coincided with the time-points that corresponded to chromatin degradation and nuclear rupture during the PCD in the development of the fruit secretory cavity. Taken together, our results suggest that Ca2+-dependent DNases play direct roles in nuclear DNA degradation during the PCD of secretory cavity cells during Citrus fruit development. Given the consistency of the expression patterns of genes regulated by calmodulin (CaM) and calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) and the dynamics of calcium accumulation, we speculate that CaM and CDPK proteins might be involved in Ca2+ transport from the extracellular walls through the cytoplasm and into the nucleus to activate CgCaN for DNA degradation.

Abstract
Objective: To compare clinical characteristics and prognosis between patients with primary (PTL) and secondary thyroid lymphoma (STL) . Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 46 patients with thyroid lymphoma (PTL 19, STL 27) from January 2002 to October 2018. Results: ①PTL group included 4 males and 15 females, with a median age of 57 years. The STL group included 10 males and 17 females, with a median age of 61 years. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the main pathological subtype in both PTL and STL groups, with 14 cases (73.7%) and 20 cases (74.1%) respectively. In terms of clinical manifestations, goiter was the most common symptom in PTL patients 100.0% (19/19) , while 29.6% (8/27) STL had goiter (P<0.001) . The incidences of increased thyroglobulin antibody (TRAb) /thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO) were 81.3% (13/16) in PTL group and 43.8% (7/16) in STL group (P=0.028) respectively. Concerning the clinical features of patients, only two PTL patients (10.5%) with advanced Ann Arbor stage (Ⅲ/Ⅳ) , while 21 (77.8%) STL experienced advanced Ann Arbor stage (P<0.001) . Elevated serum β(2)-MG were appeared in 1 (7.1%) PTL and 9 (47.4%) STL patients (P=0.013) , and advanced IPI score (3-5) was more common in STL than PTL (59.3% vs 5.3%, P<0.001) . ②Among the 17 PTL patients who received treatments, 15 (88.2%) achieved remission; as for STL patients received treatments, 23/25 (92.0%) were in remission. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of PTL (n=17) and STL groups (n=25) were (87.4±8.4) % and (70.0±13.1) % (P=0.433) respectively. ③The 5-year OS rate in 41 patients with B-cell thyroid lymphoma was (81.1±7.5) %. Univariate analysis showed that IPI score of 3-5 (P=0.040) and high level of serum IL-8 (P=0.022) were significantly associated with poor outcome. Conclusion: DLBCL was the most common subtype in both PTL and STL, and goiter was the major symptom in PTL. IPI score of 3-5 and high level of serum IL-8 were unfavorable prognostic factors for patients with B-cell thyroid lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neuroinflammation is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Abnormal activation of microglia plays a key role in this pathological process. CD200R1 is a membrane glycoprotein that is expressed primarily on myeloid cells including microglia and is involved in the maintenance of microglia in a stationary state. Our previous study reported that the regulation of CD200R1 expression is altered in PD patients. Such alteration will lead to neuroinflammation and is related to the pathogenesis of PD. The possible role of promoter polymorphisms for abnormal CD200R1 expression in PD was examined in this study. METHOD The UCSC database and dual-luciferase assays were used to confirm the promoter region of CD200R1. The promoter of CD200R1 was sequenced in 457 PD patients and 520 matched healthy controls from the Chinese Han population. Dual-luciferase assays were conducted to examine the promoter activity of CD200R1. RESULTS It was confirmed that the promoter of CD200R1 is located in the region 876-146 bp upstream of the coding DNA sequence. The frequencies of rs144721913 (P = 0.001) and rs72952157 (P = 0.022) in the promoter were significantly different between the PD group and control group. rs144721913 increases the risk of PD by approximately 14-fold and rs72952157 by 2.6-fold. The dual-luciferase assay indicated that the rs144721913 T allele and the rs72952157 G allele reduced the transcriptional activity of the CD200R1 promoter. CONCLUSIONS For the first time the promoter region of CD200R1 has been defined and two potential risk polymorphisms (rs144721913 and rs72952157) in the region for PD in Chinese Han populations have been reported.

Abstract
In response to competition for light from their neighbors, shade-intolerant plants flower precociously to ensure reproductive success and survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this key developmental switch are not well understood. Here, we show that a pair of Arabidopsis transcription factors essential for phytochrome A signaling, FAR-RED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL3 (FHY3) and FAR-RED IMPAIRED RESPONSE1 (FAR1), regulate flowering time by integrating environmental light signals with the miR156-SPL module-mediated aging pathway. We found that FHY3 and FAR1 directly interact with three flowering-promoting SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) transcription factors, SPL3, SPL4, and SPL5, and inhibit their binding to the promoters of several key flowering regulatory genes, including FRUITFUL (FUL), LEAFY (LFY), APETALA1 (AP1), and MIR172C, thus downregulating their transcript levels and delaying flowering. Under simulated shade conditions, levels of SPL3/4/5 proteins increase, whereas levels of FHY3 and FAR1 proteins decline, thus releasing SPL3/4/5 from FHY3/FAR1 inhibition to allow activation of FUL, LFY, AP1, and MIR172C and, consequently, early flowering. Taken together, these results unravel a novel mechanism whereby plants regulate flowering time by integrating environmental cues (such as light conditions) and an internal developmental program (the miR156-SPL module-mediated aging pathway).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maize bsd2 (bundle sheath defective2) is a classical C4 mutant with defective C4 photosynthesis, accompanied with reduced accumulation of Rubisco (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) and aberrant mature chloroplast morphology in the bundle sheath (BS) cells. However, as a hypothetical chloroplast chaperone, the effects of BSD2 on C4 chloroplast development have not been fully examined yet, which precludes a full appreciation of BSD2 function in C4 photosynthesis. The aims of our study are to find out the role ofBSD2 in regulating chloroplasts development in maize leaves, and to add new insights into our understanding of C4 biology. RESULTS We found that at the chloroplast maturation stage, the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in the BS and mesophyll (M) cells became significantly looser, and the granaof chloroplasts in the M cells became thinner stacking in the bsd2 mutant when compared with the wildtype plant. Moreover, at the early chloroplast development stage, the number of dividing chloroplasts and the chloroplast division rate are both reduced in the bsd2 mutant, compared with wild type. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis revealed that the expression of both thylakoid formation-related genesand chloroplast division-related genes is significantly reduced in the bsd2 mutants. Further, we showed that BSD2 interacts physically with the large submit of Rubisco (LS) in Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation assay. CONCLUSIONS Our combined results suggest that BSD2 plays an essential role in regulating the division and differentiation of the dimorphic BS and M chloroplasts, and that it acts at a post-transcriptional level to regulate LS stability or assembly of Rubisco.

Abstract
Accurate quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) requires reliable reference genes whose expression does not vary in different tissues and developmental stages. However, few reliable reference genes are available for qRT-PCR in rice (Oryza sativa). Here, we established an effective strategy for identifying novel reference genes (NRGs) for reliable normalization of qRT-PCR data in various rice organs and developmental stages. We selected candidate NRGs using the Information Commons for Rice Database and confirmed their expression in Rice Expression Profile Database (RiceXPro) data. Genes with low variation (<2.5 cycle quantification) across tissues and developmental stages, and little fluctuation in expression in heatmaps from RiceXPro data were considered stable NRGs. To validate this strategy, we selected 11 candidate NRGs and calculated their expression stability in different spatio-temporal conditions using five programs, and compared these genes with five established reference genes (ERGs). Only one of the ERGs (UBQ5) was reliable and 10 of the candidate NRGs were more stable than the four remaining ERGs. Therefore, public transcriptomic databases are useful for identifying NRGs. We selected two NRGs, UFC1 (Homolog of UFM1-Conjugating Enzyme 1) and FhaB (Homolog of Adhesin FhaB) for qRT-PCR analysis in rice; their homologs might be suitable for other monocot plants.

Abstract
Increasing planting density has been an effective means of increasing maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) yield per unit of land area over the past few decades. However, high-density planting will cause a reduction in the ratio of red to far-red incident light, which could trigger the shade avoidance syndrome and reduce yield. The molecular mechanisms regulating the shade avoidance syndrome are well established in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) but poorly understood in maize. Here, we conducted an initial functional characterization of the maize Phytochrome-Interacting Factor (PIF) gene family in regulating light signaling and photomorphogenesis. The maize genome contains seven distinct PIF genes, which could be grouped into three subfamilies: ZmPIF3s, ZmPIF4s, and ZmPIF5s Similar to the Arabidopsis PIFs, all ZmPIF proteins are exclusively localized to the nucleus and most of them can form nuclear bodies upon light irradiation. We show that all of the ZmPIF proteins could interact with ZmphyB. Heterologous expression of each ZmPIF member could partially or fully rescue the phenotype of the Arabidopsis pifq mutant, and some of these proteins conferred enhanced shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, all ZmPIF proteins expressed in Arabidopsis are much more stable than their Arabidopsis counterparts upon exposure to red light. Moreover, the Zmpif3, Zmpif4, and Zmpif5 knockout mutants generated via CRISPR/Cas9 technology all showed severely suppressed mesocotyl elongation in dark-grown seedlings and were less responsive to simulated shade treatment. Taken together, our results reveal both conserved and distinct molecular properties of ZmPIFs in regulating light signaling and photomorphogenesis in maize.

Abstract
Hybrid sterility presents a major bottleneck in hybrid crop breeding and causes postzygotic reproductive isolation in speciation. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the genetics of rice hybrid sterility and highlight new advances in deciphering the molecular basis of the major genetic loci for hybrid sterility in rice. We also discuss practical strategies for overcoming reproductive barriers to utilize hybrid vigor in inter-specific and inter-subspecific hybrid rice breeding.

BACKGROUND Noninvasive genotyping using plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has the potential to obviate the need for some invasive biopsies in cancer patients while also elucidating disease heterogeneity. We sought to develop an ultra-deep plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) that could detect targetable oncogenic drivers and resistance mutations in patients where tissue biopsy failed to identify an actionable alteration. PATIENTS AND METHODS Plasma was prospectively collected from patients with advanced, progressive NSCLC. We carried out ultra-deep NGS using cfDNA extracted from plasma and matched white blood cells using a hybrid capture panel covering 37 lung cancer-related genes sequenced to 50 000× raw target coverage filtering somatic mutations attributable to clonal hematopoiesis. Clinical sensitivity and specificity for plasma detection of known oncogenic drivers were calculated and compared with tissue genotyping results. Orthogonal ddPCR validation was carried out in a subset of cases. RESULTS In 127 assessable patients, plasma NGS detected driver mutations with variant allele fractions ranging from 0.14% to 52%. Plasma ddPCR for EGFR or KRAS mutations revealed findings nearly identical to those of plasma NGS in 21 of 22 patients, with high concordance of variant allele fraction (r = 0.98). Blinded to tissue genotype, plasma NGS sensitivity for de novo plasma detection of known oncogenic drivers was 75% (68/91). Specificity of plasma NGS in those who were driver-negative by tissue NGS was 100% (19/19). In 17 patients with tumor tissue deemed insufficient for genotyping, plasma NGS identified four KRAS mutations. In 23 EGFR mutant cases with acquired resistance to targeted therapy, plasma NGS detected potential resistance mechanisms, including EGFR T790M and C797S mutations and ERBB2 amplification. CONCLUSIONS Ultra-deep plasma NGS with clonal hematopoiesis filtering resulted in de novo detection of targetable oncogenic drivers and resistance mechanisms in patients with NSCLC, including when tissue biopsy was inadequate for genotyping.

Abstract
PURPOSE Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are considered one of the most effective medical treatments for patients with growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas (GH-PAs). The postoperative electron microscopy (EM) pathological subtype and SSTR2 expression in the tumor are the most established predictors of patient response to SSA therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate how will magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measurements before surgery predict the EM pathological subtypes and SSTR2 expression of tumors, and thereby serve as an indicator for the therapeutic sensitivity to SSAs of patients with GH-PAs. METHODS Eighteen patients with GH pituitary macroadenomas who underwent transsphenoidal surgery were included in this retrospective study. The preoperative MRS data and T2 signal intensity were obtained from patients by 1.5 T MR spectroscopy of the sellar mass. The EM pathological subtypes of tumors were determined after surgery through examination of cell granulations. The expressions of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), SSTR5, P21, P27, and Ki-67 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The MRS parameters that were found to significantly predict the EM pathological subtypes of tumors, as calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve, were the choline (Ch) value at 3140.5 MR units (sensitivity 69.2%, specificity 100%) and the choline/creatine (Ch/Cr) ratio at 1.27 (sensitivity 92.3%, specificity 100%). Further, the Ch/Cr ratio, but not other MRS data, was shown to negatively correlate with the expression of SSTR2 (P = 0.02). The Ch/Cr ratio was also found to positively correlate with the Ki-67 value (P < 0.05) and T2 signal (P < 0.05), but not with other factors that were examined in this study. Moreover, the Ch/Cr ratio could predict the EM pathological subtypes of tumors with an accuracy of 83.3% (5/6) for patients with an isointense T2 signal. CONCLUSION The Ch/Cr ratio by MRS could effectively predict the tumor subtype and was significantly correlated with the expression of SSTR2, which was consistent with other predictors. It was also able to distinguish the patients with isointense T2 signals. Our results provide a potentially new and non-invasive method to predict the response to SSAs in patients with GH pituitary macroadenomas.

Abstract
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) host charged Weyl fermions as emergent quasiparticles. We develop a unified analytical theory for the anomalous positive longitudinal magnetoconductivity (LMC) in a WSM, which bridges the gap between the classical and ultraquantum approaches. More interestingly, the LMC is found to exhibit periodic-in-1/B quantum oscillations, originating from the oscillations of the nonequilibrium chiral chemical potential. The quantum oscillations, superposed on the positive LMC, are a remarkable fingerprint of a WSM phase with a chiral anomaly, whose observation is a valid criteria for identifying a WSM material. In fact, such quantum oscillations were already observed by several experiments.

Abstract
We study the scattering of the Dirac electrons by a point-like nonmagnetic impurity on the surface of a topological insulator, driven by a time-periodic gate voltage. It is found that, due to the doublet degenerate crossing points of different Floquet sidebands, resonant backscattering can happen for the surface electrons, even without breaking the time-reversal (TR) symmetry of the topological surface states (TSSs). The energy spectrum is reshuffled in a way quite different from that for the circularly polarized light, so that new features are exhibited in the Friedel oscillations of the local charge and spin density of states. Although the electron scattering is dramatically modified by the driving voltage, the 1/ρ scale law of the spin precession persists for the TSSs. The TR invariant backscattering provides a possible way to engineer the Dirac electronic spectrum of the TSSs, without destroying the unique property of spin-momentum interlocking of the TSSs.

Abstract
Background Targeted methylation sequencing of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has a potential to expand liquid biopsies to patients with tumors without detectable oncogenic alterations, which can be potentially useful in early diagnosis. Patients and methods We developed a comprehensive methylation sequencing assay targeting 9223 CpG sites consistently hypermethylated according to The Cancer Genome Atlas. Next, we carried out a clinical validation of our method using plasma cfDNA samples from 78 patients with advanced colorectal cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer or melanoma and compared results with patients' outcomes. Results Median methylation scores in plasma cfDNA samples from patients on therapy were lower than from patients off therapy (4.74 versus 85.29; P = 0.001). Of 68 plasma samples from patients off therapy, methylation scores detected the presence of cancer in 57 (83.8%), and methylation-based signatures accurately classified the underlying cancer type in 45 (78.9%) of these. Methylation scores were most accurate in detecting colorectal cancer (96.3%), followed by breast cancer (91.7%), melanoma (81.8%) and NSCLC (61.1%), and most accurate in classifying the underlying cancer type in colorectal cancer (88.5%), followed by NSCLC (81.8%), breast cancer (72.7%) and melanoma (55.6%). Low methylation scores versus high were associated with longer survival (10.4 versus 4.4 months, P < 0.001) and longer time-to-treatment failure (2.8 versus 1.6 months, P = 0.016). Conclusions Comprehensive targeted methylation sequencing of 9223 CpG sites in plasma cfDNA from patients with common advanced cancers detects the presence of cancer and underlying cancer type with high accuracy. Methylation scores in plasma cfDNA correspond with treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether the protective effects of brief and repeated ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) are associated with the modulation of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) expression after renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS We subjected diabetic rats to 45 minutes of ischemia followed by reperfusion at 24 hours. Before reperfusion, diabetic rats were treated with 3 cycles of 6 seconds of reperfusion, followed by 6 seconds of ischemia. DL-Propargylglycine (PAG, a CSE inhibitor) was administered to the diabetic rats to investigate its effects on the severity of renal I/R injury in diabetes mellitus (DM). Blood samples and left kidneys were collected for the measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels and renal pathologic changes. Western blot and immunochemistry techniques were also performed for the localization of CSE. Levels of superoxidase dismutase (SOD), malonyldialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis-alpha (TNF-α), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) were quantified using commercially available kits. RESULTS The results showed that BUN and SCr levels increased on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RI/RI) in the DM group. Diabetic rats treated with IPoC exhibited significantly less renal damage on I/R. Kit measurements showed that IPoC could markedly inhibit the levels of MDA and TNF-α and also improve SOD and H2S levels. Western blot and immunochemistry showed that expression of CSE was downregulated on I/R in the DM group and IPoC upregulated CSE expression, whereas PAG treatment resulted in opposite effects. CONCLUSION Our findings show that brief and repeated IPoC increased the expression of CSE after I/R in DM, and the modulation of CSE may underlie the renoprotective effect of IPoC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:Pathogenic and/or founder germline variants in the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene confer an increased breast cancer (BC) risk. The protein kinase ATM plays a central role inDNA double-strand break-repair and in the activation of downstream targets such as p53 and BRCA1. We sought to define the repertoire of somatic genetic alterations of BCs from patients with pathogenic germline ATM mutations and whether somatic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of ATM would be present in these cancers.
Methods: 21 BCs from ATM germline mutation carriers were microdissected. Tumor and normal DNA samples were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES, n=12) or massively parallel sequencing targeting all coding regions and selected intronic and regulatory regions of 410 key cancer genes (n=9). Somatic mutations, copy number alterations, cancer cell fractions, large-scale state transitions (LSTs) and mutational signatures were defined using state-of-the-art bioinformatics algorithms. ABSOLUTE and FACETS were employed to assess LOH of the wild-type allele of ATM.
Results: Of the patients included in this study, 71%, 24% and 5% of cases harbored ATM missense (all but one p.V2424G), frame-shift and nonsense germline mutations, respectively. All tumors were ER-positive and four (19%) were HER2-positive. The median age of the patients was 46 years (32–79 years). Our analyses revealed biallelic inactivation of ATM through LOH of the wild-type allele in 16 of 21 cases (76%), and second somatic ATM mutations were not found. The median number of non-synonymous somatic mutations was 38 (range 15-113) and 2 (range 0-8)in tumors subjected to WES and targeted sequencing, respectively. The repertoire of somatic genetic alterations of ATM-associated BCs was found to be heterogeneous, including clonal PIK3CA mutations (24%), GATA3 mutations (19%), FANCI amplifications (19%) and CCND1 amplifications (14%). Importantly, however, no somatic mutations affecting TP53 were found. Analysis of the WES data revealed that 5 (42%) ATM-associated BCs displayed high LST scores, all of which harbored bi-allelic ATM inactivation. In contrast to BRCA1- and BRCA2-associated BCs, which frequently display the mutational signature 3 associated with defective homologous recombination DNA repair, the ATM-associated BCs studied displayed the ageing mutational signature (i.e. signature 1). Comparison of the mutational profiles of the ATM--associated BCs subjected to WES (n=12) with those of BRCA1- (n=11) and BRCA2-associated (n=10) BCs from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that TP53 was more frequently mutated in BCs from BRCA1 germline mutation carriers (0% vs 72%, P<0.001), while no differences with BRCA2-associated BCs were found.
Conclusion: ATM-associated BCs frequently display bi-allelic ATM inactivation through LOH of the wild-type allele and a subset of these cases displayed high levels of LSTs. These findings suggest that at least in a subset of ATM-associated BCs, biallelic inactivation of ATM rather than a dominant negative effect of the germline mutation may be the mechanism of inactivation of this tumor suppressor gene. The repertoire of somatic genetic alterations of ATM-associated BCs is heterogeneous, with a noticeable lack of TP53 somatic mutations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair and are germ-line cancer pre-disposition genes that result in the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome. Whether germ-line or somatic alterations in these genes or other members of the HR pathway and if mono- or bi-allelic alterations of HR-related genes have a phenotypic impact in breast and other cancers remains to be fully elucidated. Here we took a combined genomic and functional approach to identify the role of mutations in HR-related genes and their impact on HR DNA repair.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and Affymetrix SNP6 array data from 8,178 tumors, comprising 24 different cancer types including breast cancer, were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We identified the prevalence of missense and pathogenic (frame-shift, nonsense, start/stop codon and splice site variants) somatic and germline mutations in 102 HR-related genes curated from the literature. For each mutation, we determined if the alterations were bi-allelic. We evaluated genomic signatures of HR-deficiency in each tumor using large-scale state transitions (LSTs) and a mutational signature of HR-deficiency (signature 3). An independent set of 24 fresh sporadic breast cancer tissue specimens from our institution was subjected to i) an ex-vivo assay that assesses the ability of cancer cells to form RAD51 foci in response to ex-vivo irradiation (IR), and ii) whole exome-sequencing to define whether RAD51 deficient tumors would display LSTs, signature 3 and bi-allelic inactivation of HR-related genes.
Results: 13% and 5% of all TCGA cases displayed pathogenic mono- and bi-allelic alterations of HR-related genes, respectively. Of the biallelic alterations, only 45% occurred in traditional BRCA1/2 associated hereditary cancers (HBOCs, namely breast, ovarian and prostate cancer). Bi-allelic, but not mono-allelic, pathogenic genetic alterations in HR-related genes were significantly associated with genomic evidence of HR deficiency across cancer types, in HBOCs and within breast cancer. In HBOCs, bi-allelic alterations in HR-related genes were mutually exclusive (p=0.02). In breast cancer, bi-allelic inactivation of HR DNA repair-related genes was observed in 9.8%, of which 7.8% involved a germline pathogenic mutation and 2.0% were solely somatic. In breast cancer, in addition to BRCA1 and BRCA2, bi-allelic inactivation of PALB2 (0.2%), ATM (1.1%) and POLQ (0.3%) were found to be associated with genomic features of HR deficiency. In the 24 additional breast cancers, 9 were classified by the functional ex-vivo RAD51 assay as HR-deficient, 8 of which displayed bi-allelic inactivation of one HR-related gene, whereas only 1 of the 15 HR-proficient breast cancers harbored bi-allelic inactivation of HR-related genes (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Bi-allelic germline and somatic alterations of HR-related genes in addition to BRCA1 and BRCA2 are present in breast and other cancer types. Irrespective of the gene, these bi-allelic alterations are associated with HR deficiency as defined by genomic methods and functional assays, expanding the potential opportunities for therapies targeting HR DNA repair defects.

Abstract
We develop an analytical theory of the low-frequency ac quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect based upon the scattering matrix formalism. It is shown that the ac QSH effect can be interpreted as a bulk quantum pumping effect. When the electron spin is conserved, the integer-quantized ac spin Hall conductivity can be linked to the winding numbers of the reflection matrices in the electrodes, which also equal to the bulk spin Chern numbers of the QSH material. Furthermore, a possible experimental scheme by using ferromagnetic metals as electrodes is proposed to detect the topological ac spin current by electrical means.

Abstract
Anthocyanins have high antioxidant activities, and engineering of anthocyanin biosynthesis in staple crops, such as rice (Oryza sativa L.), could provide health-promoting foods for improving human health. However, engineering metabolic pathways for biofortification remains difficult, and previous attempts to engineer anthocyanin production in rice endosperm failed because of the sophisticated genetic regulatory network of its biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we developed a high-efficiency vector system for transgene stacking and used it to engineer anthocyanin biosynthesis in rice endosperm. We made a construct containing eight anthocyanin-related genes (two regulatory genes from maize and six structural genes from Coleus) driven by the endosperm-specific promoters,plus a selectable marker and a gene for marker excision. Transformation of rice with this construct generated a novel biofortified germplasm "Purple Endosperm Rice" (called "Zijingmi" in Chinese), which has high anthocyanin contents and antioxidant activity in the endosperm. This anthocyanin production results from expression of the transgenes and the resulting activation (or enhancement) of expression of 13 endogenous anthocyanin biosynthesis genes that are silenced or expressed at low levels in wild-type rice endosperm. This study provides an efficient, versatile toolkit for transgene stacking and demonstrates its use for successful engineering of a sophisticated biological pathway, suggesting the potential utility of this toolkit for synthetic biology and improvement of agronomic traits in plants.

Abstract
The surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators possess the unique property of spin-momentum interlocking. This property gives rise to the interesting inverse Edelstein effect (IEE), in which an applied spin bias μ is converted to a measurable charge voltage difference V. We develop a semiclassical theory for the IEE of the surface states of Bi2Se3 thin films, which is applicable from the ballistic regime to diffusive regime. We find that the efficiency of the spin-charge conversion, defined as γ = V/μ, exhibits a universal dependence on the ratio between sample size and electron mean free path. The efficiency increases from γ = π/4 in the ballistic limit to γ = π in the diffusive limit, suggesting that sufficient strength of impurity scattering is favorable for the IEE.

Abstract
Here, we describe the dramatic response of a patient with an ETV6-NTRK3-driven mammary analogue secretory carcinoma to treatment with a pan-Trk inhibitor, and the development of acquired resistance linked to a novel NTRK3 mutation that interferes with drug binding. This case emphasizes how molecular profiling can identify therapies for rare diseases and dissect mechanisms of drug resistance. Background Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a recently described pathologic entity. We report the case of a patient with an initial diagnosis of salivary acinic cell carcinoma later reclassified as MASC after next-generation sequencing revealed an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion. Patients and methods This alteration was targeted with the pan-Trk inhibitor entrectinib (Ignyta), which possesses potent in vitro activity against cell lines containing various NTRK1/2/3 fusions. Results A dramatic and durable response was achieved with entrectinib in this patient, followed by acquired resistance that correlated with the appearance of a novel NTRK3 G623R mutation. Structural modeling predicts that this alteration sterically interferes with drug binding, correlating to decreased sensitivity to drug inhibition observed in cell-based assays. Conclusions This first report of clinical activity with TrkC inhibition and the development of acquired resistance in an NTRK3-rearranged cancer emphasize the utility of comprehensive molecular profiling and targeted therapy for rare malignancies (NCT02097810).

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting systems have been applied to a variety of species. However, most CRISPR/Cas9 systems reported for plants can only modify one or a few target sites. Here, we report a robust CRISPR/Cas9 vector system, utilizing a plant codon optimized Cas9 gene, for convenient and high-efficiency multiplex genome editing in monocot and dicot plants. We designed PCR-based procedures to rapidly generate multiple sgRNA expression cassettes, which can be assembled into the binary CRISPR/Cas9 vectors in one round of cloning by Golden Gate ligation or Gibson Assembly. With this system, we edited 46 target sites in rice with an average 85.4% rate of mutation, mostly in biallelic and homozygous status. We reasoned that about 16% of the homozygous mutations in rice were generated through the non-homologous end-joining mechanism followed by homologous recombination-based repair. We also obtained uniform biallelic, heterozygous, homozygous, and chimeric mutations in Arabidopsis T1 plants. The targeted mutations in both rice and Arabidopsis were heritable. We provide examples of loss-of-function gene mutations in T0 rice and T1 Arabidopsis plants by simultaneous targeting of multiple (up to eight) members of a gene family, multiple genes in a biosynthetic pathway, or multiple sites in a single gene. This system has provided a versatile toolbox for studying functions of multiple genes and gene families in plants for basic research and genetic improvement.
