Ribosome biogenesis is one cell function-defining process. It depends on efficient transcription of rDNAs in the nucleolus as well as on the cytosolic synthesis of ribosomal proteins. For newly transcribed rRNA modification and ribosomal protein assembly, so-called small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) are required. For both, an inventory was established for model systems like yeast and humans. For plants, many assignments are based on predictions. Here, RNA deep sequencing after nuclei enrichment was combined with single molecule species detection by northern blot and in vivo fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based localization studies. In addition, the occurrence and abundance of selected snoRNAs in different tissues were determined. These approaches confirm the presence of most of the database-deposited snoRNAs in cell cultures, but some of them are localized in the cytosol rather than in the nucleus. Further, for the explored snoRNA examples, differences in their abundance in different tissues were observed, suggesting a tissue-specific function of some snoRNAs. Thus, based on prediction and experimental confirmation, many plant snoRNAs can be proposed, while it cannot be excluded that some of the proposed snoRNAs perform alternative functions than are involved in rRNA modification.

miRNAs involved in transcriptome remodeling during pollen development and heat stress response in Solanum lycopersicum

Cellular transitions during development and stress response depend on coordinated transcriptomic and proteomic alterations. Pollen is particular because its development is a complex process that includes meiotic and mitotic divisions which causes a high heat sensitivity of these cells. Development and stress response are accompanied by a reprogramming of the transcriptome, e.g. by post-transcriptional regulation via miRNAs. We identified known and potentially novel miRNAs in the transcriptome of developing and heat-stressed pollen of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). The prediction of target mRNAs yielded an equal number of predicted target-sites in CDS and 3’UTR regions of target mRNAs. The result enabled the postulation of a possible link between miRNAs and a fine-tuning of transcription factor abundance during pollen development. miRNAs seem to play a role in the pollen heat stress response as well. We identified several heat stress transcription factors and heat shock proteins as putative targets of miRNAs in response to heat stress, thereby placing these miRNAs as important elements of thermotolerance. Moreover, for members of the AP2, SBP and ARF family members we could predict a miRNA-mediated regulation during development via the miR172, mir156 and mir160-family strengthening the current concept of a cross-connection between development and stress response in plants.

Transcriptional reprograming after the exposure of plants to elevated temperatures is a hallmark of stress response which is required for the manifestation of thermotolerance. Central transcription factors regulate the stress survival and recovery mechanisms and many of the core responses controlled by these factors are well described. In turn, pathways and specific genes contributing to variations in the thermotolerance capacity even among closely related plant genotypes are not well defined. A seedling-based assay was developed to directly compare the growth and transcriptome response to heat stress in four tomato genotypes with contrasting thermotolerance. The conserved and the genotype-specific alterations of mRNA abundance in response to heat stress were monitored after exposure to three different temperatures. The transcripts of the majority of genes behave similarly in all genotypes, including the majority of heat stress transcription factors and heat shock proteins, but also genes involved in photosynthesis and mitochondrial ATP production. In turn, genes involved in hormone and RNA-based regulation, such as auxin- and ethylene-related genes, or transcription factors like HsfA6b, show a differential regulation that associates with the thermotolerance pattern. Our results provide an inventory of genes likely involved in core and genotype-dependent heat stress response mechanisms with putative role in thermotolerance in tomato seedlings.

The compression of screen content has attracted the interest of researchers in the last years as the market for transferring data from computer displays is growing. It has already been shown that especially those methods can effectively compress screen contentwhich are able to predict the probability distribution of next pixel values. This prediction is typically based on a kind of learning process. The predictor learns the relationship between probable pixel colours and surrounding texture. Recently, an effective method called ‘soft context formation’ (SCF) had been proposed which achieves much lower bitrates for images with less than 8 000 colours than other state-of-the-art compression schemes.
This paper presents an enhanced version of SCF. The average lossless compression performance has increased by about 5% in
application to images with less than 8 000 colours and about 10% for imageswith up to 90 000 colours. In comparison to FLIF, FP8v3, andHEVC(HM−16.20+SCM−8.8), it achieves savings of about 33%, 4%, and 11% on average. The improvements compared to
the original version result from various modifications. The largest contribution is achieved by the local estimation of the probability
distribution for unpredictable colours in stage II of the compression scheme.

In this half-day tutorial, we will review the basic concepts of, methods for, and applications of geographic information retrieval, also showing some possible applications in fields such as the digital humanities. The tutorial is organized in four parts. First we introduce some basic ideas about geography, and demonstrate why text is a powerful way of exploring relevant questions. We then introduce a basic end-to-end pipeline discussing geographic information in documents, spatial and multi-dimensional indexing [19], and spatial retrieval and spatial filtering. After showing a range of possible applications, we conclude with suggestions for future work in the area.
