Gamma-ray Astrophysics in the MeV Range: the ASTROGAM Concept and Beyond

The energy range between about 100 keV and 1 GeV is of interest for a vast class of astrophysical topics. In particular, (1) it is the missing ingredient for understanding extreme processes in the multi-messenger era; (2) it allows localizing cosmic-ray interactions with background material and radiation in the Universe, and spotting the reprocessing of these particles; (3) last but not least, gamma-ray emission lines trace the formation of elements in the Galaxy and beyond. In addition, studying the still largely unexplored MeV domain of astronomy would provide for a rich observatory science, including the study of compact objects, solar- and Earth-science, as well as fundamental physics. The technological development of silicon microstrip detectors makes it possible now to detect MeV photons in space with high efficiency and low background. During the last decade, a concept of detector ("ASTROGAM") has been proposed to fulfil these goals, based on a silicon hodoscope, a 3D position-sensitive calorimeter, and an anticoincidence detector. In this paper we stress the importance of a medium size (M-class) space mission, dubbed "ASTROMEV", to fulfil these objectives

Experiencia de aplicación de guías docentes adaptadas a los criterios de convergencia educativa en educación superior para el segundo curso de la Diplomatura de Trabajo Social

La red “Red de Docencia de Calidad en Trabajo Social (REDCATS-Segundo curso)”, constituida en el curso 2003-2004 para diseñar las guías docentes de las asignaturas de segundo curso de la Diplomatura de Trabajo Social, tuvo continuidad durante el curso 2004-2005, con cambios en su composición, para aplicar los contenidos diseñados en las guías docentes de las asignaturas, y evaluar los resultados obtenidos. Para ello contó con el apoyo del Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (Universidad de Alicante), a través de su Programa de Investigación Docente en Redes 2004-2005. En esta comunicación se da cuenta de los aspectos principales de la aplicación de las guías docentes durante el curso 2004-2005.

The mycorrhiza-dependent defensin MtDefMd1 of Medicago truncatula acts during the late restructuring stages of arbuscule-containing cells.

Different symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions involve the production of cysteine-rich antimicrobial defensins. In Medicago truncatula, the expression of four MtDefMd genes, encoding arbuscular mycorrhiza-dependent defensins containing an N-terminal signal peptide and exhibiting some differences to non-symbiotic defensins, raised over the time of fungal colonization. Whereas the MtDefMd1 and MtDefMd2 promoters were inactive in cells containing young arbuscules, cells with fully developed arbuscules displayed different levels of promoter activities, indicating an up-regulation towards later stages of arbuscule formation. MtDefMd1 and MtDefMd2 expression was absent or strongly down-regulated in mycorrhized ram1-1 and pt4-2 mutants, known for defects in arbuscule branching or premature arbuscule degeneration, respectively. A ~97% knock-down of MtDefMd1/MtDefMd2 expression did not significantly affect arbuscule size. Although overexpression of MtDefMd1 in arbuscule-containing cells led to an up-regulation of MtRam1, encoding a key transcriptional regulator of arbuscule formation, no morphological changes were evident. Co-localization of an MtDefMd1-mGFP6 fusion with additional, subcellular markers revealed that this defensin is associated with arbuscules in later stages of their life-cycle. MtDefMd1-mGFP6 was detected in cells with older arbuscules about to collapse, and ultimately in vacuolar compartments. Comparisons with mycorrhized roots expressing a tonoplast marker indicated that MtDefMd1 acts during late restructuring processes of arbuscule-containing cells, upon their transition into a post-symbiotic state

Insights into the complex role of GRAS transcription factors in the arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis

Abstract To improve access to limiting nutrients, the vast majority of land plants forms arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses with Glomeromycota fungi. We show here that AM-related GRAS transcription factors from different subgroups are upregulated during a time course of mycorrhization. Based on expression studies in mutants defective in arbuscule branching (ram1-1, with a deleted MtRam1 GRAS transcription factor gene) or in the formation of functional arbuscules (pt4-2, mutated in the phosphate transporter gene MtPt4), we demonstrate that the five AM-related GRAS transcription factor genes MtGras1, MtGras4, MtGras6, MtGras7, and MtRad1 can be differentiated by their dependency on MtRAM1 and MtPT4, indicating that the network of AM-related GRAS transcription factors consists of at least two regulatory modules. One module involves the MtRAM1- and MtPT4-independent transcription factor MtGRAS4 that activates MtGras7. Another module is controlled by the MtRAM1- and MtPT4-dependent transcription factor MtGRAS1. Genome-wide expression profiles of mycorrhized MtGras1 knockdown and ram1-1 roots differ substantially, indicating different targets. Although an MtGras1 knockdown reduces transcription of AM-related GRAS transcription factor genes including MtRam1 and MtGras7, MtGras1 overexpression alone is not sufficient to activate MtGras genes. MtGras1 knockdown roots display normal fungal colonization, with a trend towards the formation of smaller arbuscules

Sequence analyses of of AM-dependent defensins MtDefMd1-4 and AM-unrelated defensins.

<p>Secondary structures of MtDefMd1-4 and AM-unrelated defensin-like proteins of <i>M</i>. <i>truncatula</i> (A), a representation of their three-dimensional structures (B and C), as well as surface electrostatics (D and E) are shown. Predicted signal peptides were removed from the mature amino acid sequences. Consecutively, the defensins were aligned based on their secondary structures. Background colorisation of the amino acids (in A) indicate hydrophobicity in a scale from red to blue (red: high hydrophobicity). A conserved aspartic acid in the C-terminal region of MtDefMds is marked with a grey triangel. For the bi-domain defensin MtDef5, the domains MtDef5A (including a 7 amino acid linker towards the MtDef5B domain) and MtDef5B are shown. After modelling the three-dimensional structures of the MtDefMd1-4, MtDef4 and MtDef5A/B defensins, they were visualized (B and C) and their surface electrostatics were calculated (D and E). The region congruent to the γ-core motif is indicated with arrows. The following proteins were used for comparisons in addition to MtDefMd1-4: MtDef5 A [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0191841#pone.0191841.ref065" target="_blank">65</a>], MtDef5 B [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0191841#pone.0191841.ref065" target="_blank">65</a>]and MtDef4 [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0191841#pone.0191841.ref030" target="_blank">30</a>].</p
