Special Issue on Plant Epigenetics

Epigenetics refers to gene regulation at the chromatin level. This can occur via modification of the DNA and the core proteins of the chromatin, histones （Liu et al., 2014）. In this issue, Reyes （2014） reviews recent advances in the roles of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes on devel- opment, phytohormone response, and RNA-mediated silenc- ing and Da Ines et al. （2014） report the role of chromatin remodeling in homologous chromosome pairing. In addition, Over and Michaels （2014） discuss the emergent roles of plant histone linker proteins in gene regulation, cell division, and development.

Special Issue on “Gene Regulatory Network”

The journal Genomics Proteomics & Bioinformatics (GPB) is now inviting submissions for a special issue (to be published around Dec 2012) on the topic of "Gene Regulatory Network". The Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) is a collection of DNA sequences which interact with each other and other cellular components, thereby governing the rates at which genes in the network are transcribed to change the genomic activity. GRNs are evolutionally-conserved and play critical roles in various biological processes and attract more and more research interest.

Introduction to Special Issue on "Familial and Peer Influences on Adolescent Substance Use"

This study examined associations between well-being and positive and negative aspects of social relationships among 128 married older adults with a best friend. Women were more depressed than men if they did not have a friend in whom to confide, but women who did have a friend in whom to confide reported lower levels of depressive symptomatology, closer to levels reported by men. Men's depressive symptomatology was not related to having a friend confidant. Similarly, women who did not have a same-sex best friend in whom to confide were less satisfied with life than women who did have a friend confidant and men in general. Having a best friend who gets on their nerves was negatively related to men's life satisfaction and positively related to women's. Thus, positive and negative aspects of friendships were related to women's and men's well-being in different ways and were more important for women. Positive and negative aspects of marital relationships, on the other hand, related to depressive symptomatology and life satisfaction of women in comparable ways as for men. Results are considered in terms of the practical implications for supportive relationships to help older people meet the challenges of aging.
