    An early Ediacaran assemblage of macroscopic and morphologically differentiated eukaryotes (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-02-19
    Description: The deep-water Avalon biota (about 579 to 565 million years old) is often regarded as the earliest-known fossil assemblage with macroscopic and morphologically complex life forms. It has been proposed that the rise of the Avalon biota was triggered by the oxygenation of mid-Ediacaran deep oceans. Here we report a diverse assemblage of morphologically differentiated benthic macrofossils that were preserved largely in situ as carbonaceous compressions in black shales of the Ediacaran Lantian Formation (southern Anhui Province, South China). The Lantian biota, probably older than and taxonomically distinct from the Avalon biota, suggests that morphological diversification of macroscopic eukaryotes may have occurred in the early Ediacaran Period, perhaps shortly after the Marinoan glaciation, and that the redox history of Ediacaran oceans was more complex than previously thought.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yuan, Xunlai -- Chen, Zhe -- Xiao, Shuhai -- Zhou, Chuanming -- Hua, Hong -- England -- Nature. 2011 Feb 17;470(7334):390-3. doi: 10.1038/nature09810.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉State Key Laboratory of Palaeobiology and Stratigraphy, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China. xlyuan@nigpas.ac.cn〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21331041" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A eudicot from the Early Cretaceous of China (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-04-02
    Description: The current molecular systematics of angiosperms recognizes the basal angiosperms and five major angiosperm lineages: the Chloranthaceae, the magnoliids, the monocots, Ceratophyllum and the eudicots, which consist of the basal eudicots and the core eudicots. The eudicots form the majority of the angiosperms in the world today. The flowering plants are of exceptional evolutionary interest because of their diversity of over 250,000 species and their abundance as the dominant vegetation in most terrestrial ecosystems, but little is known of their very early history. In this report we document an early presence of eudicots during the Early Cretaceous Period. Diagnostic characters of the eudicot fossil Leefructus gen. nov. include simple and deeply trilobate leaves clustered at the nodes in threes or fours, basal palinactinodromous primary venation, pinnate secondary venation, and a long axillary reproductive axis terminating in a flattened receptacle bearing five long, narrow pseudo-syncarpous carpels. These morphological characters suggest that its affinities are with the Ranunculaceae, a basal eudicot family. The fossil co-occurs with Archaefructus sinensis and Hyrcantha decussata whereas Archaefructus liaoningensis comes from more ancient sediments. Multiple radiometric dates of the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation place the bed yielding this fossil at 122.6-125.8 million years old. The earliest fossil records of eudicots are 127 to 125 million years old, on the basis of pollen. Thus, Leefructus gen. nov. suggests that the basal eudicots were already present and diverse by the latest Barremian and earliest Aptian.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, Ge -- Dilcher, David L -- Wang, Hongshan -- Chen, Zhiduan -- England -- Nature. 2011 Mar 31;471(7340):625-8. doi: 10.1038/nature09811.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Paleontological Institute of Shenyang Normal University, Shenyang 110034, China. sunge@synu.edu.cn〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21455178" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Temporal patterning of Drosophila medulla neuroblasts controls neural fates (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-06-21
    Description: In the Drosophila optic lobes, the medulla processes visual information coming from inner photoreceptors R7 and R8 and from lamina neurons. It contains approximately 40,000 neurons belonging to more than 70 different types. Here we describe how precise temporal patterning of neural progenitors generates these different neural types. Five transcription factors-Homothorax, Eyeless, Sloppy paired, Dichaete and Tailless-are sequentially expressed in a temporal cascade in each of the medulla neuroblasts as they age. Loss of Eyeless, Sloppy paired or Dichaete blocks further progression of the temporal sequence. We provide evidence that this temporal sequence in neuroblasts, together with Notch-dependent binary fate choice, controls the diversification of the neuronal progeny. Although a temporal sequence of transcription factors had been identified in Drosophila embryonic neuroblasts, our work illustrates the generality of this strategy, with different sequences of transcription factors being used in different contexts.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3701960/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3701960/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, Xin -- Erclik, Ted -- Bertet, Claire -- Chen, Zhenqing -- Voutev, Roumen -- Venkatesh, Srinidhi -- Morante, Javier -- Celik, Arzu -- Desplan, Claude -- GM058575/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 EY017916/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jun 27;498(7455):456-62. doi: 10.1038/nature12319.
