text: 'Diffusiophoretic motion of colloids and macromolecules under salt gradients
exhibits a logarithmic-sensing, i.e. the particle velocity is proportional to
the spatial gradient of the logarithm of the salt concentration, as VDP = DDP∇logc.
Here we explore experimentally the implications of this log-sensing behavior,
on the basis of a hydrogel microfluidic device allowing to build spatially and
temporally controlled gradients. We first demonstrate that the non-linearity of
the salt-taxis leads to a trapping of particles under concentration gradient oscillations
via a rectification of the motion. As an alternative, we make use of the high
sensitivity of diffusiophoretic migration to vanishing salt concentration due
to the log-sensing: in a counter-intuitive way, a vanishing gradient can lead
to measurable velocity provided that the solute concentration is low enough, thus
keeping ∇c/c finite. We show that this leads to a strong segregation of particles
in osmotic shock configuration, resulting from a step change of the salt concentration
at the boundaries. These various phenomena are rationalized on the basis of a
theoretical description for the time-dependent Smoluchowski equation for the colloidal
density.'

text: 'We study theoretically the morphologies of biological tubes affected by various
pathologies. When epithelial cells grow, the negative tension produced by their
division provokes a buckling instability. Several shapes are investigated: varicose,
dilated, sinuous, or sausagelike. They are all found in pathologies of tracheal,
renal tubes, or arteries. The final shape depends crucially on the mechanical
parameters of the tissues: Young''s modulus, wall-to-lumen ratio, homeostatic
pressure. We argue that since tissues must be in quasistatic mechanical equilibrium,
abnormal shapes convey information as to what causes the pathology. We calculate
a phase diagram of tubular instabilities which could be a helpful guide for investigating
the underlying genetic regulation.'

text: EMBRYONIC FLOWER1 (EMF1) is a plant-specific gene crucial to Arabidopsis vegetative
development. Loss of function mutants in the EMF1 gene mimic the phenotype caused
by mutations in Polycomb Group protein (PcG) genes, which encode epigenetic repressors
that regulate many aspects of eukaryotic development. In Arabidopsis, Polycomb
Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2), made of PcG proteins, catalyzes trimethylation of
lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) and PRC1-like proteins catalyze H2AK119 ubiquitination.
Despite functional similarity to PcG proteins, EMF1 lacks sequence homology with
known PcG proteins; thus, its role in the PcG mechanism is unclear. To study the
EMF1 functions and its mechanism of action, we performed genome-wide mapping of
EMF1 binding and H3K27me3 modification sites in Arabidopsis seedlings. The EMF1
binding pattern is similar to that of H3K27me3 modification on the chromosomal
and genic level. ChIPOTLe peak finding and clustering analyses both show that
the highly trimethylated genes also have high enrichment levels of EMF1 binding,
termed EMF1_K27 genes. EMF1 interacts with regulatory genes, which are silenced
to allow vegetative growth, and with genes specifying cell fates during growth
and differentiation. H3K27me3 marks not only these genes but also some genes that
are involved in endosperm development and maternal effects. Transcriptome analysis,
coupled with the H3K27me3 pattern, of EMF1_K27 genes in emf1 and PRC2 mutants
showed that EMF1 represses gene activities via diverse mechanisms and plays a
novel role in the PcG mechanism.

text: The regulation of eukaryotic chromatin relies on interactions between many
epigenetic factors, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and the
incorporation of histone variants. H2A.Z, one of the most conserved but enigmatic
histone variants that is enriched at the transcriptional start sites of genes,
has been implicated in a variety of chromosomal processes. Recently, we reported
a genome-wide anticorrelation between H2A.Z and DNA methylation, an epigenetic
hallmark of heterochromatin that has also been found in the bodies of active genes
in plants and animals. Here, we investigate the basis of this anticorrelation
using a novel h2a.z loss-of-function line in Arabidopsis thaliana. Through genome-wide
bisulfite sequencing, we demonstrate that loss of H2A.Z in Arabidopsis has only
a minor effect on the level or profile of DNA methylation in genes, and we propose
that the global anticorrelation between DNA methylation and H2A.Z is primarily
caused by the exclusion of H2A.Z from methylated DNA. RNA sequencing and genomic
mapping of H2A.Z show that H2A.Z enrichment across gene bodies, rather than at
the TSS, is correlated with lower transcription levels and higher measures of
gene responsiveness. Loss of H2A.Z causes misregulation of many genes that are
disproportionately associated with response to environmental and developmental
stimuli. We propose that H2A.Z deposition in gene bodies promotes variability
in levels and patterns of gene expression, and that a major function of genic
DNA methylation is to exclude H2A.Z from constitutively expressed genes.

text: Accumulating evidence points toward diverse functions for plant chromatin.
Remarkable progress has been made over the last few years in elucidating the mechanisms
for a number of these functions. Activity of the histone demethylase IBM1 accurately
targets DNA methylation to silent repeats and transposable elements, not to genes.
A genetic screen uncovered the surprising role of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes
in sensing precise differences in ambient temperature and consequent gene regulation.
Precise maintenance of chromosome number is assured by a histone modification
that suppresses inappropriate DNA replication and by centromeric histone H3 regulation
of chromosome segregation. Histones and noncoding RNAs regulate FLOWERING LOCUS
C, the expression of which quantitatively measures the duration of cold exposure,
functioning as memory of winter. These findings are a testament to the power of
using plants to research chromatin organization, and demonstrate examples of how
chromatin functions to achieve biological accuracy, precision, and memory.
