Developmental genetic analysis of fruit shape traits under different environmental conditions in sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrical (L) Roem. Violales, Cucurbitaceae) by Sheng Zhang, Jin Hu, Shengchun Xu

“…Fruit direct genetic effects were relatively more important for both fruit shape traits during the whole developmental period. Gene activation was mostly due to additive effects at the first maturation stage and dominance effects were mainly active during the other three stages. …”

Constructing a feedback loop with circadian clock molecules from the silkmoth, Antheraea pernyi. by Chang, D, Mcwatters, H, Williams, J, Gotter, A, Levine, J, Reppert, S

“…In Schneider 2 (S2) cell culture assays, apCLOCK:apBMAL activates transcription through an E-box enhancer element found in the 5' region of the apPeriod gene. Furthermore, apPERIOD can robustly inhibit apCLOCK: apBMAL-mediated transactivation, and apTIMELESS can augment this inhibition. …”

LIN-42, the Caenorhabditis elegans PERIOD homolog, negatively regulates microRNA transcription. by Roberto Perales, Dana M King, Cristina Aguirre-Chen, Christopher M Hammell

“…Here we find that mutations in lin-42, the C. elegans homolog of the circadian-related period gene, suppress multiple dosage-dependent miRNA phenotypes including those involved in developmental timing and neuronal cell fate determination. …”

Effect of Temperature, pH, and a_w on Cereulide Synthesis and Regulator Genes Transcription with Respect to <i>Bacillus cereus</i> Growth and Cereulide Production by Yating Wang, Yangtai Liu, Shuo Yang, Yuhang Chen, Yang Liu, Dasheng Lu, Hongmei Niu, Fanchong Ren, Anning Xu, Qingli Dong

“…The interaction of environmental factors may result in the survival of <i>B. cereus</i> without growth for a period. Gene expression is affected by environmental factors, and temperature and pH may be the main factors influencing the correlation between <i>B. cereus</i> growth and cereulide formation. …”

Molecular Mechanisms of Seasonal Gene Expression in Trees by Xian Chu, Minyan Wang, Zhengqi Fan, Jiyuan Li, Hengfu Yin

“…It has been found that the parallel or convergent evolution of molecular pathways that respond to day length or temperature can lead to the establishment of conserved periodic gene expression patterns. In recent years, it has been shown in many woody plants that change in annual rhythmic patterns of gene expression may underpin the adaptive evolution in forest trees. …”

Adolescent Mouse Takes on An Active Transcriptomic Expression During Postnatal Cerebral Development by Wei Xu, Chengqi Xin, Qiang Lin, Feng Ding, Wei Gong, Yuanyuan Zhou, Jun Yu, Peng Cui, Songnian Hu

“…In addition, differential gene expression analysis indicated the activation of rhythmic pathway, suggesting the function of rhythmic movement since adolescence; Furthermore, during infancy and adolescence periods, gene expression related to axon repulsion and attraction showed the opposite trends, indicating that axon repulsion was activated after birth, while axon attraction might be activated at the embryonic stage and declined during the postnatal development. …”

Changes in Expression of the CLOCK Gene in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Patients Are Not Reverted by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment by Susana Moreira, Susana Moreira, Raquel Rodrigues, Raquel Rodrigues, André B. Barros, Nadja Pejanovic, Ana Neves-Costa, Dora Pedroso, Cláudia Pereira, Dina Fernandes, João Valença Rodrigues, Cristina Barbara, Luís Ferreira Moita

“…Because core clock genes are known to be modulated by sleep/vigilance cycles, we asked whether the expression level of mRNA coding for clock genes is altered in non-treated OSAS patients and if it can be corrected by standard continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.MethodsPeripheral blood was collected from male patients diagnosed with severe OSAS (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 30/h) before and after treatment initiation. qPCR was used to measure mRNA levels of genes associated with the central circadian pacemaker including CLOCK, BMAL1, Cry1, Cry2, and three Period genes (Per 1, 2, 3) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).ResultsWe found statistically significant differences for CLOCK (p-value = 0.022) expression in PBMCs of OSAS patients which were not reverted by treatment with CPAP. …”

The Tibetan medicine Zuotai influences clock gene expression in the liver of mice by Huan Li, Wen-Kai Li, Yuan-Fu Lu, Li-Xin Wei, Jie Liu

“…For the clock feedback negative control genes, Zuotai had no effect on the oscillation of the clock gene Cryptochrome (Cry1) and Period genes (Per1–3). For the clock-driven target genes, Zuotai increased the oscillation amplitude of the PAR-bZip family member D-box-binding protein (Dbp), decreased nuclear factor interleukin 3 (Nfil3) at 10:00, but had no effect on thyrotroph embryonic factor (Tef); Zuotai increased the expression of nuclear receptor Rev-Erbα (Nr1d1) at 18:00, but had little influence on the nuclear receptor Rev-Erbβ (Nr1d2) and RORα. …”
