TL;DR: It is shown that the CLAVATA3/EMBRYO-SURROUNDing REGION-RELATED 25 (CLE25) peptide transmits water-deficiency signals through vascular tissues in Arabidopsis, and affects abscisic acid biosynthesis and stomatal control of transpiration in association with BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM) receptors in leaves.
Abstract: Mammalian peptide hormones propagate extracellular stimuli from sensing tissues to appropriate targets to achieve optimal growth maintenance

. In land plants, root-to-shoot signalling is important to prevent water loss by transpiration and to adapt to water-deficient conditions2, 3. The phytohormone abscisic acid has a role in the regulation of stomatal movement to prevent water loss

. However, no mobile signalling molecules have yet been identified that can trigger abscisic acid accumulation in leaves. Here we show that the CLAVATA3/EMBRYO-SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED 25 (CLE25) peptide transmits water-deficiency signals through vascular tissues in Arabidopsis, and affects abscisic acid biosynthesis and stomatal control of transpiration in association with BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM) receptors in leaves. The CLE25 gene is expressed in vascular tissues and enhanced in roots in response to dehydration stress. The root-derived CLE25 peptide moves from the roots to the leaves, where it induces stomatal closure by modulating abscisic acid accumulation and thereby enhances resistance to dehydration stress. BAM receptors are required for the CLE25 peptide-induced dehydration stress response in leaves, and the CLE25–BAM module therefore probably functions as one of the signalling molecules for long-distance signalling in the dehydration response.

TL;DR: A new protein is identified, which is named Keap1, that suppresses Nrf2 activity by specific binding to its evolutionarily-conserved N-terminal Neh2 regulatory domain.
Abstract: An antioxidant responsive element (ARE) or electrophile responsive element (EpRE) mediates the transcriptional activation of genes encoding phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. The ARE consensus sequence shows high similarity to an erythroid gene regulatory element, and based on the observation, we have recently found that transcription factor Nrf2 is essential for the coordinate induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes. The expression of anti-oxidative stress enzyme genes is also regulated by Nrf2. Detailed analysis of the regulatory mechanisms of Nrf2 activity has ultimately led us to the identification of a new protein, which we have named Keap1, that suppresses Nrf2 activity by specific binding to its evolutionarily-conserved N-terminal Neh2 regulatory domain.

TL;DR: First-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations in the density-functional theory performed for hexagonally bonded honeycomb sheets consisting of B, N, and C atoms find that the ground state of BNC sheets with particular stoichiometry is ferromagnetic.
Abstract: We report first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations in the density-functional theory performed for hexagonally bonded honeycomb sheets consisting of B, N, and C atoms. We find that the ground state of BNC sheets with particular stoichiometry is ferromagnetic. Detailed analyses of energy bands and spin densities unequivocally reveal the nature of the ferromagnetic ordering, leading to an argument that the BNC sheet is a manifestation of the flat-band ferromagnetism.
