Exploring the Volatiles Released from Roots of Wild and Domesticated Tomato Plants under Insect Attack

Plants produce volatile organic compounds that are important in communication and defense. While studies have largely focused on volatiles emitted from aboveground plant parts upon exposure to biotic or abiotic stresses, volatile emissions from roots upon aboveground stress are less studied. Here, we investigated if tomato plants under insect herbivore attack exhibited a different root volatilome than non-stressed plants, and whether this was influenced by the plant’s genetic background. To this end, we analyzed one domesticated and one wild tomato species, i.e., Solanum lycopersicum cv Moneymaker and Solanum pimpinellifolium, respectively, exposed to leaf herbivory by the insect Spodoptera exigua. Root volatiles were trapped with two sorbent materials, HiSorb and PDMS, at 24 h after exposure to insect stress. Our results revealed that differences in root volatilome were species-, stress-, and material-dependent. Upon leaf herbivory, the domesticated and wild tomato species showed different root volatile profiles. The wild species presented the largest change in root volatile compounds with an overall reduction in monoterpene emission under stress. Similarly, the domesticated species presented a slight reduction in monoterpene emission and an increased production of fatty-acid-derived volatiles under stress. Volatile profiles differed between the two sorbent materials, and both were required to obtain a more comprehensive characterization of the root volatilome. Collectively, these results provide a strong basis to further unravel the impact of herbivory stress on systemic volatile emissions.     

Evaluation of Vetiver Volatile Compound Production under Aeroponic-Grown Conditions for the Perfume Industry

Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty) is a major tropical perfume crop. Access to its essential oil (EO)-filled roots is nevertheless cumbersome and land-damaging. This study, therefore, evaluated the potential of vetiver cultivation under soilless high-pressure aeroponics (HPA) for volatile organic compound (VOC) production. The VOC accumulation in the roots was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and the composition of these VOCs was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) after sampling by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). The HPA-grown plants were compared to plants that had been grown in potting soil and under axenic conditions. The HPA-grown plants were stunted, demonstrating less root biomass than the plants that had been grown in potting soil. The roots were slender, thinner, more tapered, and lacked the typical vetiver fragrance. HPA cultivation massively impaired the accumulation of the less-volatile hydrocarbon and oxygenated sesquiterpenes that normally form most of the VOCs. The axenic, tissue-cultured plants followed a similar and more exacerbated trend. Ultrastructural analyses revealed that the HPA conditions altered root ontogeny, whereby the roots contained fewer EO-accumulating cells and hosted fewer and more immature intracellular EO droplets. These preliminary results allowed to conclude that HPA-cultivated vetiver suffers from altered development and root ontology disorders that prevent EO accumulation.     

On the imaginary parts of chromatic roots

While much attention has been directed to the maximum modulus and maximum real part of chromatic roots of graphs of order $n$ (ie, with $n$ vertices), relatively little is known about the maximum imaginary part of such graphs. We prove that the maximum imaginary part can grow linearly in the order of the graph. We also show that for any fixed $\text{◂+▸}p\in \left(0,1\right)$, almost every random graph $G$ in the Erdös-Rényi model has a nonreal root.     

细胞培养基的吸收光谱研究

使用日本岛津UV 310 1分光光度计分别测量培养了宫颈癌细胞 (Hela)和鼻咽癌细胞 (CNE)的RP MI 16 4 0培养基和DMEM高糖培养基的紫外吸收光谱 ,分析了培养基中蛋白质的紫外吸收特性。RPMI16 4 0培养基的 2 2 7nm吸收峰在培养细胞生长过程中位移至 2 2 2或 2 18nm ,2 78nm的吸收峰位移至 2 80nm ;而DMEM高糖培养基 2 2 4nm吸收峰在培养细胞生长过程中位移至 2 2 1nm附近 ,2 78nm吸收峰基本没有位移。这些位移说明培养基中芳香族氨基酸中各种氨基酸如色氨酸和酪氨酸的含量有变化。也就是说 ,癌细胞在生长过程中对色氨酸和酪氨酸的消耗不是按等量比的。实验也说明Hela和CNE在生长过程中 ,对RPMI 16 4 0培养基和DMEM高糖培养基中氨基酸的消耗是不同的。实验结果为癌细胞生长过程中所需培养基中氨基酸的含量提供了依据     

Synthetic,Chemically Defined Polymer‐Coated Microcarriers for the Expansion of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), also called marrow stromal cells, are adult cells that have attracted interest for their potential uses in therapeutic applications. There is a pressing need for scalable culture systems due to the large number of cells needed for clinical treatments. Here, a tailorable thin polymer coating—poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate‐ran‐vinyl dimethyl azlactone‐ran‐glycidyl methacrylate) [P(PEGMEMA‐r‐VDM‐r‐GMA); PVG]—to the surface of commercially available polystyrene and glass microcarriers to create chemically defined surfaces for large‐scale cell expansion is applied. These chemically defined microcarriers create a reproducible surface that does not rely on the adsorption of xenogenic serum proteins to mediate cell adhesion. Specifically, this coating method anchors PVG copolymer through ring opening nucleophilic attack by amine residues on poly‐l ‐lysine that is pre‐adsorbed to the surface of microcarriers. Importantly, this anchoring reaction preserves the monomer VDM reactivity for subsequent functionalization with an integrin‐specific Arg‐Gly‐Asp peptide to enable cell adhesion and expansion via a one‐step reaction in aqueous media. MSCs cultured on PVG‐coated microcarriers achieve sixfold expansion—similar to the expansion achieved on PS microcarriers—and retain their ability to differentiate after harvesting.     

Maximally Clustered Elements and Schubert Varieties

We introduce and study a class of “maximally clustered” elements for simply laced Coxeter groups. Such elements include as a special case the freely braided elements of Green and the author, which in turn constitute a superset of the iji-avoiding elements of Fan. We show that any reduced expression for a maximally clustered element is short-braid equivalent to a “contracted” expression, which can be characterized in terms of certain subwords called “braid clusters”. We establish some properties of contracted reduced expressions and apply these to the study of Schubert varieties in the simply laced setting. Specifically, we give a smoothness criterion for Schubert varieties indexed by maximally clustered elements. Received December 30, 2005
