Isomorphisms of lattices of Bures-closed bimodules over Cartan MASAs
For i = 1; 2, let (Mi;Di) be pairs consisting of a Cartan MASA Di in a von Neumann algebra Mi, let atom(Di) be the set of atoms of Di, and let Si be the lattice of Bures-closed Di bimodules in Mi. We show that when Mi have separable preduals, there is a lattice isomorphism between S1 and S2 if and only if the sets
f(Q1;Q2) 2 atom(Di) atom(Di) : Q1MiQ2 6= (0)g
have the same cardinality. In particular, when Di is nonatomic, Si is isomorphic to the lattice of projections in L1([0; 1];m) where m is Lebesgue measure, regardless of the isomorphism classes of M1 and M2
Mi-1-mediated resistance to Meloidogyne incognita in tomato may not rely on ethylene but hormone perception through ETR3 participates in limiting nematode infection in a susceptible host.
Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., are important pests of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and resistance to the three most prevalent species of this genus, including Meloidogyne incognita, is mediated by the Mi-1 gene. Mi-1 encodes a nucleotide binding (NB) leucine-rich repeat (LRR) resistance (R) protein. Ethylene (ET) is required for the resistance mediated by a subset of NB-LRR proteins and its role in Mi-1-mediated nematode resistance has not been characterized. Infection of tomato roots with M. incognita differentially induces ET biosynthetic genes in both compatible and incompatible interactions. Analyzing the expression of members of the ET biosynthetic gene families ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO), in both compatible and incompatible interactions, shows differences in amplitude and temporal expression of both ACS and ACO genes in these two interactions. Since ET can promote both resistance and susceptibility against microbial pathogens in tomato, we investigated the role of ET in Mi-1-mediated resistance to M. incognita using both genetic and pharmacological approaches. Impairing ET biosynthesis or perception using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), the ET-insensitive Never ripe (Nr) mutant, or 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP) treatment, did not attenuate Mi-1-mediated resistance to M. incognita. However, Nr plants compromised in ET perception showed enhanced susceptibility to M. incognita indicating a role for ETR3 in basal resistance to root-knot nematodes

An Approximation Problem in Multiplicatively Invariant Spaces
Let be Hilbert space and a -finite
measure space. Multiplicatively invariant (MI) spaces are closed subspaces of that are invariant under point-wise multiplication by
functions in a fix subset of Given a finite set of data
in this paper we prove the
existence and construct an MI space that best fits , in the
least squares sense. MI spaces are related to shift invariant (SI) spaces via a
fiberization map, which allows us to solve an approximation problem for SI
spaces in the context of locally compact abelian groups. On the other hand, we
introduce the notion of decomposable MI spaces (MI spaces that can be
decomposed into an orthogonal sum of MI subspaces) and solve the approximation
problem for the class of these spaces. Since SI spaces having extra invariance
are in one-to-one relation to decomposable MI spaces, we also solve our
approximation problem for this class of SI spaces. Finally we prove that
translation invariant spaces are in correspondence with totally decomposable MI
spaces.Comment: 18 pages, To appear in Contemporary Mathematic
