The molecular signatures of compatible and incompatible pollination in Arabidopsis

Background Fertilization in flowering plants depends on the early contact and acceptance of pollen grains by the receptive papilla cells of the stigma. Deciphering the specific transcriptomic response of both pollen and stigmatic cells during their interaction constitutes an important challenge to better our understanding of this cell recognition event. Results Here we describe a transcriptomic analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in two Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, one used as female and the other as male. This strategy allowed us to distinguish 80% of transcripts according to their parental origins. We also developed a tool which predicts male/female specific expression for genes without SNP. We report an unanticipated transcriptional activity triggered in stigma upon incompatible pollination and show that following compatible interaction, components of the pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) pathway are induced on the female side. Conclusions Our work unveils the molecular signatures of compatible and incompatible pollinations both at the male and female side. We provide invaluable resource and tools to identify potential new molecular players involved in pollen-stigma interaction.

Third, the customs after the contract, after the sorong doe or nagging and bales lampak nae (reply to the foot marks).

Főúri házikápolnák a 18–19. századi Magyarországon

A kastélyok, paloták, kúriák, „várkastélyok”, várak – vagyis a főúri lakóhelyek – elsősorban profán építészeti műfajt képviselnek, azonban funkcionális sokszínűségüket és komplexitásukat jól reprezentálja, hogy többségük szakrális rendeltetéselemeket is befogadott. A házikápolna a világi főúri lakóhelyekben az otthoni vallásgyakorlás legfontosabb színhelye, amely a 19. század közepéig jellemzően a főúri vallásosság szimbóluma volt. A házikápolnák térkompozíciója a liturgia egyszerűsített változatára specializálódott. Ugyanakkor a főúri, valamint a köznépi együttes jelenlét funkcionálisan differenciált, tagolt téralakítást eredményezett. A 18. századi példák nagy belmagasságú, karzatokkal kialakított, boltozott csarnokterei késő középkori hagyományon alapulhattak, ugyanakkor korabeli jellemzőjük, hogy közvetlen udvari bejáratuk révén nyilvános liturgiára is alkalmasak voltak. A házikápolnák diszpozíciója a 18–19. században rendkívüli változatosságot mutatott. Az 1850 előtti példáknál az épületen belüli térkapcsolatot a főúri oratórium-karzat biztosította, amely jellemzően a férfi lakosztály felől – annak földszinti vagy emeleti elhelyezésétől függetlenül – volt megközelíthető. Az időszakban volt példa arra, hogy a kápolna a női oldalon helyezkedett el, és volt példa a két lakosztály közötti diszpozícióra is. A nagyvonalú, attraktív kialakítású nyilvános kápolnák mellett kisebb, helyiségsorba illeszkedő, lakosztályokon belülre pozícionált magánkápolnát is gyakran létesítettek a korszakban. A 19. század közepétől a házikápolnák hagyományos funkcionalitása megmaradt, de elhelyezésükre jellemző volt a tulajdonosi lakosztályoktól távolabbi, esetenként a vendéglakrészekhez az épületszárnyak végén kapcsolódó, tehát az elsődleges forgalmi terektől kieső, „perifériás” diszpozíció, de előfordult a központi társasági terek monumentális csoportjához történő hangsúlyos kapcsolódás is.Summary. Castles, palaces, mansions, fortresses – namely the noble households – are elements of the profane architectural genre primarily, but their functional diversity and complexity are well represented by the fact that most of them have sacred functions as well. The home chapel of the secular noble households can be considered as the most important venue for religious practice at home, which was a typical symbol of the noble religiousness until the mid-19th century. The spatial composition of the home chapels was specialized to a simplified version of the liturgy. Nevertheless, the joint presence of the nobility and the common folk resulted in a functionally differentiated, articulated space form. The 18th-century examples of vaulted halls with high ceilings and galleries could have been based on a late-medieval tradition, but they were suitable for public liturgy as well through their direct courtyard entrance. The disposition of the home chapels was very various in the 18th and 19th centuries. As for the pre-1850 examples their spatial connection within the building was provided by the noble oratorial gallery, which was accessible from the male apartments typically, regardless of its layout in ground-floor or upstairs. At the same time there were also some examples of a chapel on the female side, and between the two apartments as well. In addition to the generous, attractive public chapels, also smaller private chapels were often built within the apartments at that time. From the middle of the 19th century the traditional functionality of the home chapels was preserved, but it became typical that the location of the chapels was rather away from the owner apartments, in some cases connected to the guest apartments at the end of the building wings, which meant a “peripheral” disposition to the primary paths of usage. Besides, there are examples to an emphatic connection to the monumental group of central social rooms.

To survive or perish, Nyoman and Ketut existences at stake!

Governor of Bali, Dr. Ir. I Wayan Koster, M.M. recently instructed his regents through Governor Instruction Number 1545 of 2019 to promote Krama Bali Family Planning (KBFP); a ‘four children policy’ instead of National family planning program (FPP) a ‘two children policy’. The central government deployed FPP as an effective way to prevent population explosion in the last fifty years; which is highly crucial to ensure the society’s welfare in future. In contrast, apparently, from the Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster’s perspective, the program is subduing Balinese society growth, and threatening the survivability of the third and fourth child generations (Nyoman and Ketut). Through the Instruction, it is expected the Balinese family would decide to have more than two children, as the Governor’s wish to protect the ancestral noble heritage. In these times, there are several things that a family should be taken into account before deciding to follow KBFP program; from the female side agreement, family’s cashflow condition, and recent demographic situation of Bali that has been expanding rapidly for years. Nevertheless, the instruction is not sternly applied, since there is no sanction for the society who wish not to follow the government’s suggestion. As a verdict, a Balinese family still own the power to decide independently what they may find suitable for their future.

KHALWAT DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM POSITIF

The existence of a man and woman who have no kinship so that it is lawful to marry her, in a lonely place without being ac companied by a mahram of the male or female side. This khalwat is a crime that is not subject to hudud punishment and kafarah punishment. This form of khalwat crime is included in the category of ta'zir finger whose number of punishment is not limited. In the Qur'an and Sunnah this khalwat act is highly reproached, but not clearly regulated in the Qur'an and Sunnah. So this act can be entered into the ta'zir group. All deeds that should (need) be forbidden to fulfill the common good (community). This prohibition must necessarily be made on the basis of community agreement / consensus in ways that are considered eligible. In North Aceh, the khalwat actors who are close to the power are hard to touch with the law, it is not surprising to all of us to remember that the law in this country is not yet the commander but the law is merely a bargaining position in everyday life.

THE COMB FROM THE HAYMANOVA MOHYLA AND THE SCYTHIAN MYTH OF A HERO FIGHTING A DRAGON

The article is devoted to the analysis of images on the bone comb from the Haymanova Mohyla mound (IV century BC). The images on it quite fully represent the myth of a Hero fighting a dragon, which is not known from narrative sources. The first large plate (the «male» side of the comb) depicts a battle scene with a consistently developing plot: the defeat of one hero — the triumph of the dragon — revenge and the victory of the second hero. It can be assumed that the characters in this scene are Targitaos and Kolaxais, known from the story of Herodotus. These Scythian heroes relate to Iranian Yima (Jamshid) and Θraētaona (Fereydun). The goddess is reproduced on the second large plate (the «female» side of the comb). Her iconographic image was borrowed from the ancient Greek Art, but it was perceived by the Scythians, probably as the goddess Api (Άπί), equivalent to the Iranian goddess Aredvi Sura Anahita. The general context of the images suggests that the Scythians were familiar with the Iranian prayers to this goddess with a request to bestow good luck in the fight against hostile creatures. The comb was certainly an important ritual and status attribute.
