TL;DR: The identification of [(+)-7-iso-JA-L-Ile] as the active biological hormonal form of jasmonate fills the greatest gap in knowledge about the signaling mechanism that is responsible for the activation of downstream genes in the jasMonate-signaling cascade.
Abstract: The plant hormones jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, along with their intermediate compounds, produced in the octadecanoid pathway, are important signaling molecules that are collectively called jasmonates. These are widespread in the plant kingdom and play crucial roles in biotic/abiotic stress responses, as well as in processes related to plant growth and development. Recently, it has been shown that jasmonates are also involved in reproductive processes. We present the most recent findings related to the biosynthesis, regulation and signaling mechanisms of jasmonates. Additionally, we discuss the identification of [(+)-7-iso-JA-L-Ile] as the active biological hormonal form of jasmonate; this fills the greatest gap in our knowledge about the signaling mechanism that is responsible for the activation of downstream genes in the jasmonate-signaling cascade. The identification of several Arabidopsis thaliana mutants was crucial to the elucidation of the signaling mechanisms involved in jasmonate-mediated responses. Finally, the involvement of jasmonates in the reproductive process of Nicotiana tabacum L. is briefly discussed, since some of the main enzymes of the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway were identified in a stigma/style expressed sequence tag database (TOBEST) of this Solanaceae species.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented in support of the hypothesis that whereas dPAG-evoked freezing would serve as a model of panic attacks, thedPAG post-stimulation freezing appears to be a modelOf panic disorder.

TL;DR: The thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum var.
Abstract: The thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum var. coprophilum produced large amounts of extracellular and intracellular beta-glucosidase activity when grown on cellulose or cellobiose as carbon sources. The presence of glucose in the culture medium drastically decreased the level of beta-glucosidase activity, while cycloheximide prevented the induction of the extracellular enzyme activity by cellobiose. An extracellular beta-glucosidase induced by avicel was purified by a procedure involving acetone precipitation and chromatography on two DEAE-cellulose columns. The purified enzyme was a basic protein, with a carbohydrate content of 73%. The deglycosylated enzyme exhibited a molecular mass of 43 kDa, with pH and temperature optima of 5.5 and 65 degrees C respectively. The beta-glucosidase hydrolysed only cellobiose and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, exhibiting apparent Km values of 3.13 mM and 0.76 mM, respectively. The native purified enzyme was stable up to 2 hours at 60 degrees C, and its thermal stability was directly dependent on glycosylation.

TL;DR: A new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world is described and assessed.
Abstract: Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodiversity indicators, is necessary to enable better understanding of historical declines and to project – and avert – future declines We describe and assess a new database of more than 16 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world The database contains measurements taken in 208 (of 814) ecoregions, 13 (of 14) biomes, 25 (of 35) biodiversity hotspots and 16 (of 17) megadiverse countries The database contains more than 1% of the total number of all species described, and more than 1% of the described species within many taxonomic groups – including flowering plants, gymnosperms, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, beetles, lepidopterans and hymenopterans The dataset, which is still being added to, is therefore already considerably larger and more representative than those used by previous quantitative models of biodiversity trends and responses The database is being assembled as part of the PREDICTS project (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems – wwwpredictsorguk) We make site-level summary data available alongside this article The full database will be publicly available in 2015
