TL;DR: A new tool for the prediction of lncRNAs in plants is reported, based on machine learning and uses random forest algorithm to classify coding and long non-coding transcripts, which has better prediction accuracy as compared to other existing tools and is particularly well-suited for plants.
Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) make up a significant portion of non-coding RNAs and are involved in a variety of biological processes. Accurate identification/annotation of lncRNAs is the primary step for gaining deeper insights into their functions. In this study, we report a novel tool, PLncPRO, for prediction of lncRNAs in plants using transcriptome data. PLncPRO is based on machine learning and uses random forest algorithm to classify coding and long non-coding transcripts. PLncPRO has better prediction accuracy as compared to other existing tools and is particularly well-suited for plants. We developed consensus models for dicots and monocots to facilitate prediction of lncRNAs in non-model/orphan plants. The performance of PLncPRO was quite better with vertebrate transcriptome data as well. Using PLncPRO, we discovered 3714 and 3457 high-confidence lncRNAs in rice and chickpea, respectively, under drought or salinity stress conditions. We investigated different characteristics and differential expression under drought/salinity stress conditions, and validated lncRNAs via RT-qPCR. Overall, we developed a new tool for the prediction of lncRNAs in plants and showed its utility via identification of lncRNAs in rice and chickpea.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that calcium-dependent permeabilization of host red blood cells is critical for egress of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites.
Abstract: Malaria parasites exit erythrocytes by triggering permeabilization and rupture of the host plasma membrane. Here, the authors identify a perforin-like protein that is secreted by the parasite in a calcium-dependent manner and mediates permeabilization through its insertion into the host membrane.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of transcriptome dynamics during seed development in two cultivars with contrasting seed size/weight suggested that extended period of cell division during embryogenesis and higher level of endoreduplication along with more accumulation of storage compounds during maturation determine large seed Size/weight.
Abstract: Seed development is an intricate process regulated via a complex transcriptional regulatory network. To understand the molecular mechanisms governing seed development and seed size/weight in chickpea, we performed a comprehensive analysis of transcriptome dynamics during seed development in two cultivars with contrasting seed size/weight (small-seeded, Himchana 1 and large-seeded, JGK 3). Our analysis identified stage-specific expression for a significant proportion (>13%) of the genes in each cultivar. About one half of the total genes exhibited significant differential expression in JGK 3 as compared with Himchana 1. We found that different seed development stages can be delineated by modules of coexpressed genes. A comparative analysis revealed differential developmental stage specificity of some modules between the two cultivars. Furthermore, we constructed transcriptional regulatory networks and identified key components determining seed size/weight. The results suggested that extended period of cell division during embryogenesis and higher level of endoreduplication along with more accumulation of storage compounds during maturation determine large seed size/weight. Further, we identified quantitative trait loci-associated candidate genes harboring single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter sequences that differentiate small- and large-seeded chickpea cultivars. The results provide a valuable resource to dissect the role of candidate genes governing seed development and seed size/weight in chickpea.

TL;DR: Grapes extract was explored as a green reducing agent for the preparation of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) from graphene oxide as mentioned in this paper, and the effect of reduction time on physical, chemical and optical properties of the RGO was also investigated.
