Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of gene expression during plant immune responses. In this study, we identified a novel lncRNA, ELF18-INDUCED LONG NONCODING RNA 25 ( ELENA25 ), located in the intergenic region between AT4G31960 and CYTOCHROME P450, family 82, subfamily C, polypeptide 2 ( CYP82C2 ) in Arabidopsis. ELENA25 was initially identified through custom lncRNA microarray data. Here, its...

We comprehensively analyzed sediments obtained from an archeological excavation. A trench sediment profile of Maedun Cave (MC), South Korea, was analyzed geoarchaeologically. Multi‐proxy analyses (palynomorphs, grain size, magnetic susceptibility, animal bones and artifacts) reflected the vegetation, hydroclimate and lives of prehistoric people at Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 (ca. 40–30k cal a bp ) in the early Late Paleolithi...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) leads to serious economic losses because of reductions in yield and quality. To analyze the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for PHS resistance in japonica rice, PHS rates on panicles were measured in 160 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between the temperate japonica varieties Odae (PHS resistant) and Unbong40 (PHS susceptible) under two different environmental conditions—field (s...
