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.

The insertion of membrane proteins requires proteinaceous complexes in the cytoplasm, the membrane, and the lumen of organelles. Most of the required complexes have been described, while the components for insertion of β-barrel-type proteins into the outer membrane of chloroplasts remain unknown. The same holds true for the signals required for the insertion of β-barrel-type proteins. At present, only the processing of Toc75-III, the β-barrel-type protein of the central chloroplast translocon with an atypical signal, has been explored in detail. However, it has been debated whether Toc75-V/ outer envelope protein 80 (OEP80), a second protein of the same family, contains a signal and undergoes processing. To substantiate the hypothesis that Toc75-V/OEP80 is processed as well, we reinvestigated the processing in a protoplast-based assay as well as in native membranes. Our results confirm the existence of a cleavable segment. By protease protection and pegylation, we observed intermembrane space localization of the soluble N-terminal domain. Thus, Toc75-V contains a cleavable N-terminal signal and exposes its polypeptide transport-associated domains to the intermembrane space of plastids, where it likely interacts with its substrates.

Biosensors based on DNA self-assembled monolayers (DNA-SAMs) combined with electrochemical transducers have shown great potential to serve an important role in simple, accurate and inexpensive genetic analysis relevant to many fields. Recently we have reported on observing a significant change in the viscoelasticity of such DNA layers immobilized on gold electrodes, upon redox switching of certain metal complexes at a millisecond time scale using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). In this study we have performed chronoamperometry on single stranded and double stranded DNA/6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) mixed SAMs on gold electrodes in the presence of hexaammine ruthenium(III) (RuHex) to monitor the DNA modification with cis-diammine dichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). Our EQCM studies confirmed that the redox response of electrostatically bound RuHex is capable of providing quantitative information regarding the extent of DNA cross-linking with cisplatin. We believe that this method can be used in studies to test the interactions of cancer chemotherapeutic medications like cisplatin with ss & dsDNA and ultimately be a new technology for rapid screening of such potential drug candidates that are able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and interact with DNA in order to inhibit cancer cell growth of brain tumor tissue by forming DNA adducts.
