Reference-guided detection of the transcriptome reveals circular RNA-related competing endogenous RNA networks in response to three respiration pathogens in pig lungs by Qian Wu, Kun Du, Mao-qing Gu, Yu Xia, Miao Yin, Xian Li, Shu-ting Zhang, Hong Zhao, Zhang-lin Li, Xi-wen Chen

“…The ceRNA networks of the circRNAs that were down-regulated in response to PRRSV were significantly enriched in the functions involved in the RNA splicing. Further analysis of down-regulated circRNAs revealed that circular ratios of circRNAs were broadly decreased after PRRSV infection, which might form feedback via the RNA splicing-related target genes. …”

Chloroplast positioning affects Hexokinase 1-mediated plant immunity under combined low temperature and high light by Sophia Bianca Bagshaw, Anastasia Kitashova, Beyza Özmen, Chun Kwan Yip, Bianca Emily Süling, Laura Schröder, Tatjana Kleine, Thomas Nägele

“…Finally, we suggest that, due to its potential role as a negative regulator of plant immunity, CHUP1 deficiency counteracted the reduced immunity of hxk1 in the double mutant which rescued the plants. Future studies might now reveal whether deficiencies in CHUP1 function and/or transcription represent a conserved strategy to increase plant immunity under abiotic stress.…”
