Multiple facets of laticifer cells

"This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis inPlant Signaling and Behaviour on 2017, available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15592324.2017.1300743"[EN] In the latex-bearing plants, the laticiferous system is the tubing structure that contains the latex and is constituted of living cells (laticifers). While laticifers are present only in a small percentage of the flowering plant species, they represent a type of specialized tissue within the plant where a myriad of metabolites are synthesized, some of them of considerable commercial importance. In this mini-review we synopsize the present knowledge about laticifer cells and discuss about their particular features as well as some evolutionary and ecophysiological cues and the potential exploitation of the knowledge generated around this peculiar type of plant cell. We illustrate some of these questions with the experience in Euphorbia lathyris laticifers and latex.This work was supported by the Spanish MINECO (BFU2015-68199-R to P.V.) and Generalitat Valenciana (Prometeo 2014/024 to P.V.)Castelblanque, L.; Balaguer Zamora, B.; Marti, C.; Rodríguez-Blasco, JJ.; Orozco, M.; Vera Vera, P.

Molecular dynamics study of accelerated ion-induced shock waves in biological media

We present a molecular dynamics study of the effects of carbon- and iron-ion induced shock waves in DNA duplexes in liquid water. We use the CHARMM force field implemented within the MBN Explorer simulation package to optimize and equilibrate DNA duplexes in liquid water boxes of different sizes and shapes. The translational and vibrational degrees of freedom of water molecules are excited according to the energy deposited by the ions and the subsequent shock waves in liquid water are simulated. The pressure waves generated are studied and compared with an analytical hydrodynamics model which serves as a benchmark for evaluating the suitability of the simulation boxes. The energy deposition in the DNA backbone bonds is also monitored as an estimation of biological damage, something which is not possible with the analytical model

“Salsa Fantasy”, a concept of Ron Levin

“La Salsa Fantasía” es un término acuñado por el periodista Pablo Yglesias para describir un concepto que el artista e ilustrador Ron Levine quiso implementar cuando comenzó a crear diversas portadas de disco para la música latina en los años setenta. Su intención era fundamentalmente proponer un estilo que compitiera de manera directa con las creaciones de la pudiente industria americana. Este artículo presenta las razones por las cuales Ron Levine decidió emprender ese viaje; para ello nos hemos basado en una entrevista realizada por Pablo Yglesias en el año 2011 al artista, donde además de sus interesantes anécdotas, se vislumbra una retrospectiva de su obra hasta su trabajo con la Sonora Ponceña donde tuvo la oportunidad de desarrollar su estilo

Análisis e implementación de ciudades inteligentes

En la actualidad la tecnología es parte de la vida cotidiana de las personas tanto para trabajo, comunicaciones, esparcimiento; las empresas invierten y desarrollan servicios tecnológicos que les facilitan la vida a las personas mientras consumen sus productos y servicios. Hoy en día es común tener aplicaciones en el smartphone para pedir un vehículo para traslado, solicitar comida a domicilio y un sinfín de otras cosas. Los gobiernos no pueden escapar a esta tendencia y deben actualizarse, hacer uso de la tecnología existente, diseñar recursos y servicios para facilitar las gestiones de sus ciudadanos a la vez que brinda mayor transparencia a sus acciones. Es por eso que surge el concepto de cuidades inteligentes o Smart Cities donde la tecnología se hace presente. Este proyecto de investigación se basa en el estudio de las Smart Cities (sus bases, fundamentos, grado de implementación) con el objetivo de realizar propuestas para facilitar y mejorar la implementación de las mismas.Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informátic

La interfaz de usuario como punto de partida para la creación automática de aplicaciones móviles – un enfoque basado en MDD

Las aplicaciones móviles requieren una interfaz reducida y estandarizada paralograr que el usuario tenga una buena experiencia de uso. Particularmente lasaplicaciones que administran datos utilizan controles de interfaz generales quepermiten realizar todas las operaciones necesarias con dichos datos (listados,menús, pantallas de edición y de búsqueda). Tomando como base esos controles de interfaz de usuario se diseña una metodología de modelado basada en MDD(Model Driven Development), mediante la cual es posible generarautomáticamente aplicaciones web móviles con el solo hecho de configurar losdatos a visualizar en la interfaz y definir cómo será la navegación dentro delsistema. La configuración de los componentes está basada en un primer modeloque representa los datos que administrará la aplicación. Esta metodología estábasada en UML (Unified Modelling Language) y se define mediante una extensión conservativa de dicho lenguaje especificada en un profile de UML y una serie de restricciones. Para soportar la metodología de modelado se ha desarrollado una herramienta que permite modelar y realizar las transformaciones entre modelos que son necesarios para poder generar el código fuente 100% funcional de una aplicación

Particularly the Applications that manage data use general interface controls that allow you to perform all the necessary operations with said data (lists, menus, editing and search screens). Based on these controls of user interface a modeling methodology based on MDD is designed (Model Driven Development), through which it is possible to generate automatically mobile web applications just by configuring the data to display in the interface and define how the navigation will be within the system. The configuration of the components is based on a first model which represents the data that will be managed by the application. This methodology is based on UML (Unified Modeling Language) and is defined by an extension conservative of said language specified in a UML profile and a series of restrictions. To support the modeling methodology, a tool that allows modeling and transformations between models that are necessary to be able to generate the 100% functional source code of a app

BABELOMICS: a systems biology perspective in the functional annotation of genome-scale experiments

We present a new version of Babelomics, a complete suite of web tools for functional analysis of genome-scale experiments, with new and improved tools. New functionally relevant terms have been included such as CisRed motifs or bioentities obtained by text-mining procedures. An improved indexing has considerably speeded up several of the modules. An improved version of the FatiScan method for studying the coordinate behaviour of groups of functionally related genes is presented, along with a similar tool, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Babelomics is now more oriented to test systems biology inspired hypotheses. Babelomics can be found at

Endangered subspecies of the reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus witherbyi and E. s. lusitanica) in Iberian Peninsula have different genetic structures

In the Iberian Peninsula, populations of two subspecies of the Reed Bunting Emberiza schoeniclus have become increasingly fragmented during the last decades when suitable habitats have been lost and/or the populations have gone extinct. Presently, both subspecies are endangered. We estimated the amount of genetic variation and population structure in order to define conservation units and management practices for these populations. We found that the subspecies lusitanica has clearly reduced genetic variation in nuclear and mitochondrial markers, has a drastically small effective population size and no genetic differentiation between populations. In contrast, the subspecies witherbyi is significantly structured, but the populations still hold large amounts of variation even though the effective population sizes are smaller than in the non-endangered subspecies schoeniclus. We suggest several management units for the Iberian populations. One unit includes subspecies lusitanica as a whole; the other three units are based on genetically differentiated populations of witherbyi. The most important genetic conservation measure in the case of lusitanica is to preserve the remaining habitats in order to at least maintain the present levels of gene flow. In the case of the three management units within witherbyi, the most urgent conservation measure is to improve the habitat quality to increase the population sizes.This project would not have been possible without the help of many people, among them A.
