  1. Recent molecular dynamics simulations revealed that 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations in Mg were prone to dissociation on the basal plane, thus becoming sessile. Basal dissociation of 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations is significant because it is a major factor in the limited ductility and high work-hardening in Mg. We report an in situ transmission electron microscopy study of the deformation process using an H-bar-shaped thin foil of Mg single crystal designed to facilitate 〈 c + a 〉 slip, observe 〈 c + a 〉 dislocation activity, and establish the validity of the largely immobile 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations caused by the predicted basal dissociation. In addition, through detailed observations on the fine movement of some 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations, it was revealed that limited bowing out movement for some non-basal portions of 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations was possible; under certain circumstances, i.e., through attraction and reaction between two 〈 c + a 〉 dislocations on the same pyramidal plane, at least portions of the sessile configuration were observed to be reversed into a glissile one.

  2. Abstract Rafflesiaceae is a family of endangered plants whose members are solely parasitic to the tropical grape vineTetrastigma(Vitaceae). Currently, the genetics of their crosstalk with the host remains unexplored. In this study, we use homology-basedin silicoapproaches to characterize micro-RNAs (miRNAs) expressed bySapria himalayanaandRafflesia cantleyifrom published omics data. Derived from secondary structures or hairpins, miRNAs are small regulators of gene expression. We found that some plant-conserved miRNA still exists in Rafflesiaceae. Out of 9 highly conserved miRNA families in plants, 7 families (156/157, 159/319, 160, 165/166, 171, 172, 390) were identified with a total of 22 variants across Rafflesiaceae. Some miRNAs were missing endogenous targets and may have evolved to target host miRNA, though this requires experimental verification. Rafflesiaceae miRNA promoters are mostly inducible by ethylene that mediates stress response in the host but could be perceived by the parasites as a signal for growth. This study provides evidence that certain miRNAs with ancient origins in land plants still exist in Rafflesiaceae, though some may have been coopted by parasites to target host genes.
