A twin study of auditory processing indicates that dichotic listening ability is a strongly heritable trait

We administered tests commonly used in the diagnosis of auditory processing disorders (APDs) to twins recruited from the general population. We observed significant correlations in test scores between co-twins. Our analyses of test score correlations among 106 MZ and 33 DZ twin pairs indicate that dichotic listening ability is a highly heritable trait. Dichotic listening is the ability to identify and distinguish different stimuli presented simultaneously to each ear. Deficits in dichotic listening skills indicate a lesion or defect in interhemispheric information processing. Such defects or lesions can be prominent in elderly listeners, language-impaired children, stroke victims, and individuals with PAX6 mutations. Our data indicates that other auditory processing abilities are influenced by shared environment. These findings should help illuminate the etiology of APDs, and help to clarify the relationships between auditory processing abilities and learning/language disorders associated with APDs.

Production of (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol and (3S)-acetoin from glucose using resting cells of Klebsiella pneumonia and Bacillus subtilis

Production of highly pure (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol ((2S,3S)-2,3-BD) and (3S)-acetoin ((3S)-AC) in high concentrations is desirable but difficult to achieve. In the present study, glucose was first transformed to a mixture of (2S,3S)-2,3-BD and meso-2,3-BD by resting cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae CICC 10011, followed by biocatalytic resolution of the mixture by resting cells of Bacillus subtilis 168. meso-2,3-BD was transformed to (3S)-AC, leaving (2S,3S)-2,3-BD in the reaction medium. Using this approach, 12.5 g l(-1) (2S,3S)-2,3-BD and 56.7 g l(-1) (3S)-AC were produced. Stereoisomeric purity of (2S,3S)-2,3-BD and enantiomeric excess of (3S)-AC was 96.9 and 96.2%, respectively.

Construction of a Full-Length cDNA Library and Analysis of Expressed Sequence Tags from Inflorescence of Apomictic Sabaigrass (Eulaliopsis binata)

Eulaliopsis binata, which is a close relative of cereal crops, was recognized as an important research material owing to its high frequency of apospory and autonomous endosperm formation. However, little information is known about its genomics and regulatory pathway participating in reproductive development. For the first step to understand molecular basis in sabaigrass (E. binata), a SMART complementary DNA library from the inflorescence tissue was constructed and characterized. The titers of original and amplified libraries were 5.53 × 10⁶ and 1.49 × 10¹⁰ pfu/ml, respectively. The percentage of recombinants was 96% in the original library. Analysis of sequencing results of 398 out of 437 randomly picked clones showed that 271 (68.1%) expressed sequence tags (ESTs) exhibited significant similarity with known putative functional nucleotide sequences in the GenBank databases, 25 (6.3%) ESTs have significant matches with hypothetical proteins, putative proteins, and unknown proteins, and the other 25.6% ESTs had no significant similarity to sequences in the public databases. Based on molecular function of GO annotation, the four most abundant terms are nucleotide binding, hydrolase activity, ion binding, and protein binding, and these genes were involved in 61 different pathways using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. Besides, simple sequence repeats detection in 398 ESTs was carried out, and several genes were chosen to perform expression analysis. This report represents a first step in expanding molecular-genetic analyses in E. binata and can be used to optimally mine useful information from a relatively small data set.     

Involvement of G1-to-S transition and AhAUX-dependent auxin transport in abscisic acid-induced inhibition of lateral root primodia initiation in Arachis hypogaea L

Previous study indicated that increasing endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) level could inhibit the lateral root (LR) formation of peanuts. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which ABA regulated lateral root primordia (LRP) initiation in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L). Results suggested that ABA inhibited LRP initiation through blocking G1-to-S transition in seedlings and mature roots: e.g. 5.8% increase in the proportion of G1 phase and 18% decrease in the proportion of S phase after ABA treatment for 6 days. Further study of the expression of the cell cycle marker gene for G2-to-M transition in peanut roots suggested that AhCYCB1 expression was regulated by ABA. We also investigated the cooperative regulation of LRP initiation by ABA and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). ABA treatment greatly reduced the effects of endogenous IAA on mature roots. The expression of the IAA polar transport gene AhAUX1 appeared to be regulated by ABA since ABA inhibited auxin-mediated LRP initiation by suppressing AhAUX-dependent auxin transport in peanut roots. We further examined the effect of ABA on the expression of DR5::GUS and AtAUX1 in the model plant Arabidopsis. The results of Arabidopsis were consistent with that of the peanut.
