Stomatal Patterning: SERKs Put the Mouths in Their Right Place

Plants have stomata, mouth-like pores on their surface, to adjust to environmental changes such as temperature and humidity to ensure optimum physiology and metabolism. A new study adds a key player, SERK, to the signal-sensing apparatus to inform where stomata are to be formed on the leaf.

Can telomerase be put in its place?

The Cajal body is an intriguing nuclear structure present in a great variety of plant, animal, and some fungal cells. Recent work on the ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase has indicated an unanticipated degree of intranuclear dynamics of both its RNA and protein subunits. In this issue, Jady et al. place the Cajal body on the intranuclear traffic route of telomerase RNA (Jady et al., 2004).

Will Computers Put Us Out of Work?

In 1996, a world chess champion was defeated by IBM’s Deep Blue. Early in 2016 a human master of Go, a game considerably more complex than chess, lost to AlphaGo from Google’s DeepMind. As arti cial intelligence (AI) improves, some predict that computers will be able to do any human task. The ctitious “steel-driving man” John Henry died competing against his machine replacement.

Synthesis of new piperazinyl quinolones and investigation of their in vitro antibacterial activities

  Quinolone antibacterial agents are currently used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. The nature of functional group at the 7 position of the quinolone ring system is known to have strong influence on the spectrum and extent of in vitro antibacterial activity. Accordingly, a series of N-L2- oxo-2-(2- furyl) and N-[2- oxyimino (2- furyl) ethyl] piperazinyl quinolone derivatives...
