Postrecruitment Function of Yeast Med6 Protein during the Transcriptional Activation by Mediator Complex by Gwang Sik Kim, Young Chul Lee

“…For the functional analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Med6p (scMed6p), we generated a series of scMed6p mutants harboring a small internal deletion. Genetic analysis of these mutants revealed that three regions (amino acids 33–42 (Δ2), 125–134 (Δ5), and 157–166 (Δ6)) of scMed6p are required for cell viability and are located at highly conserved regions of Med6 homologs. …”

The Neoproterozoic Ediacaran Kaijiang-Xuanhan paleo-uplift in the Sichuan Basin, Western China by Ran Guo, Ran Guo, Zeqi Li, Jianxue Wu, Shugen Liu, Wei Sun, Peng Wang, Bin Deng, Liwei You, Zhiyi Liu

“…The Dengying Formation in the Kaijiang-Xuanhan region and the Mianyang-Anyue-Changning region both exhibit a thinning trend, but the genetic mechanisms are different. The thinning in the former is the result of sedimentary control during the early stages of paleouplift, with the lower parts of the first and second stages being absent; in the latter region, this is due to subsequent erosion. …”

Research Progress on a Wide and Narrow Row Cropping System for Crops by Liqun Tang, Jian Song, Yongtao Cui, Honghuan Fan, Jianjun Wang

“…This study reviews the development and implementation of WNRC technology, focusing on its effects on crop growth, development, and environmental optimization. (1) Crop growth and environmental optimization: Modifying the row spacing in WNRC enhances light interception, air circulation, and the soil moisture distribution, creating an optimized growth environment that improves the photosynthetic efficiency and water use. (2) Genetic variation and yield performance: The performance of different crop varieties in WNRC systems varies, with specific varieties showing better adaptation to the altered spatial arrangement, leading to improved growth uniformity and higher yields. (3) Weed management: The planting density is optimized, reducing the need for herbicides and fostering more sustainable weed control methods. (4) Efficient input management: WNRC systems enhance the uniform application of fertilizers and pesticides, optimizing nutrient uptake, minimizing input wastage, and lowering the environmental impact. …”
