TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an alternative to interpreting interactions effects in terms of marginal effects by exponentiating the regression coefficients, which will give us an odds ratio or incidence-rate ratio.
Abstract: When estimating a non-linear model such as [R] logit or [R] poisson, we often have two options when it comes to interpreting the regression coefficients: compute some form of marginal effect; or exponentiate the coefficients, which will give us an odds ratio or incidence-rate ratio. The marginal effect is an approximation of how much the dependent variable is expected to increase or decrease for a unit change in an explanatory variable: that is, the effect is presented on an additive scale. The exponentiated coefficients give the ratio by which the dependent variable changes for a unit change in an explanatory variable: that is, the effect is presented on a multiplicative scale. An extensive overview is given by Long and Freese (2006). Sometimes we are also interested in how the effect of one variable changes when another variable changes, namely, the interaction effect. As there is more than one way in which we can define an effect in a non-linear model, there must also be more than one way in which we can define an interaction effect. This tip deals with how to interpret these interaction effects when we want to present effects as odds ratios or incidence-rate ratios. This can be an attractive alternative to interpreting interactions effects in terms of marginal effects.

TL;DR: The results indicate that cellulose synthesis is coordinated with growth status and regulated in part through CSC internalization, and find that CSC insertion in the plasma membrane is regulated by pauses of the Golgi apparatus along cortical microtubules, which support a model in which cortical micro Tubules not only guide the trajectories of CSCs in the Plasma membrane, but also regulate the insertion and internalization of C SCs.
Abstract: Plant growth and organ formation depend on the oriented deposition of load-bearing cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall. Cellulose is synthesized by plasma membrane-bound complexes containing cellulose synthase proteins (CESAs). Here, we establish a role for the cytoskeleton in intracellular trafficking of cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs) through the in vivo study of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-CESA3 fusion protein in Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyls. GFP-CESA3 localizes to the plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, a compartment identified by the VHA-a1 marker, and, surprisingly, a novel microtubule-associated cellulose synthase compartment (MASC) whose formation and movement depend on the dynamic cortical microtubule array. Osmotic stress or treatment with the cellulose synthesis inhibitor CGA 325'615 induces internalization of CSCs in MASCs, mimicking the intracellular distribution of CSCs in nongrowing cells. Our results indicate that cellulose synthesis is coordinated with growth status and regulated in part through CSC internalization. We find that CSC insertion in the plasma membrane is regulated by pauses of the Golgi apparatus along cortical microtubules. Our data support a model in which cortical microtubules not only guide the trajectories of CSCs in the plasma membrane, but also regulate the insertion and internalization of CSCs, thus allowing dynamic remodeling of CSC secretion during cell expansion and differentiation.

TL;DR: How hormones control maintenance ofstem cell systems, influence developmental transitions of stem cell daughters and define developmental compartments in Arabidopsis thaliana is reviewed.
Abstract: Plant development is subject to hormonal growth control and adapts to environmental cues such as light or stress. Recently, significant progress has been made in elucidating hormone synthesis, signalling and degradation pathways, and in resolving spatial and temporal aspects of hormone responses. Here we review how hormones control maintenance of stem cell systems, influence developmental transitions of stem cell daughters and define developmental compartments in Arabidopsis thaliana. We also discuss how environmental cues change plant growth by modulating hormone levels and response. Future analysis of hormone crosstalk and of hormone action at both single cell and organ levels will substantially improve our understanding of how plant development adapts to changes in intrinsic and environmental conditions.

TL;DR: A new dimensionality reduction technique, demixed principal component analysis (dPCA), that decomposes population activity into a few components and exposes the dependence of the neural representation on task parameters such as stimuli, decisions, or rewards is demonstrated.
Abstract: Neurons in higher cortical areas, such as the prefrontal cortex, are often tuned to a variety of sensory and motor variables, and are therefore said to display mixed selectivity. This complexity of single neuron responses can obscure what information these areas represent and how it is represented. Here we demonstrate the advantages of a new dimensionality reduction technique, demixed principal component analysis (dPCA), that decomposes population activity into a few components. In addition to systematically capturing the majority of the variance of the data, dPCA also exposes the dependence of the neural representation on task parameters such as stimuli, decisions, or rewards. To illustrate our method we reanalyze population data from four datasets comprising different species, different cortical areas and different experimental tasks. In each case, dPCA provides a concise way of visualizing the data that summarizes the task-dependent features of the population response in a single figure.

TL;DR: The authors showed that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians, who contributed to both Europeans and Near Easterners; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west European hunters-gatherer related ancestry.
Abstract: We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other ancient genomes with 2,345 contemporary humans to show that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians, who contributed to both Europeans and Near Easterners; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west European hunter-gatherer related ancestry. We model these populations' deep relationships and show that early European farmers had ∼44% ancestry from a 'basal Eurasian' population that split before the diversification of other non-African lineages.
