Polyploidy plays a very important role in speciation and plant evolution by way of genomic merging and doubling. In the process of polyploidy, rapid genomic, and transcriptomic changes have been observed and researched. However, proteomic divergence caused by the effects of polyploidization is still poorly understood. In the present study, we used iTRAQ coupled with mass spectrometry to quantit...

Paulownia witches' broom (PaWB) caused by a phytoplasma, has caused extensive losses in the yields of paulownia timber and resulted in significant economic losses. However, the molecular mechanisms in Paulownia that underlie the phytoplasma stress are poorly characterized. In this study, we use an Illumina platform to sequence four small RNA libraries and four degradome sequencing libraries der...

We revisit the concept of "remnant of invariant manifolds" originally discussed by Shirts and Reinhardt in a two degrees of freedom Henon-Heiles system [J. Chem. Phys. 77, 5204 (1982)]. This is regarded as the remnants of a destroyed invariant manifold that can dominate the transport in phase space even at high energy regions where most of all tori vanish. We present a novel technique to extrac...

Paulownia witches’ broom (PaWB) disease caused by phytoplasmas is a fatal disease that leads to considerable economic losses. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play critical regulatory roles in posttranscriptional and transcriptional regulation. However, lncRNAs and their functional roles remain poorly characterized in Paulownia. To identify lncRNAs and investigate their ...

In this study, Russian olive trees exhibiting witches’-broom symptoms were collected from urban green areas in Tabriz, the northwest of Iran. PCR analysis confirmed that phytoplasma caused disease and, according to resulting Sanger sequencing electropherogram, a mixed infection with two or more species within was revealed. Next-generation analyses, using Illumina method, performed on total DNA ...
