Our approach exploits a support vector machine-based classifier capable of predicting intelligence-related proteins based on a pool of meaningful protein features. For the sake of illustration of our proposed general method, we develop a novel computational two-layer predictor, Intell_Pred, to predict query sequences (proteins or transcripts) as intelligence-related or non-intelligence-related proteins or transcripts, subsequently classifying the former sequences into learning and memory-related classes. Based on a five-fold cross-validation and independent blind test, Intell_Pred obtained an average accuracy of 87.48 and 88.89, respectively. Our findings revealed that a score >0.75 (during prediction by Intell_Pred) is a well-grounded choice for predicting intelligence-related candidate proteins in most organisms across biological kingdoms. In particular, we assessed seismonastic movements and associate learning in plants and evaluated the proteins involved using Intell_Pred. Proteins related to seismonastic movement and associate learning showed high percentages of similarities with intelligence-related proteins. Our findings lead us to believe that Intell_Pred can help identify the intelligence-related proteins and their classes using a given protein/transcript sequence.","PeriodicalId":39647,"journal":{"name":"Communicative and Integrative Biology","volume":" ","pages":"253-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9673931/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40697761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Islands can include any habitat surrounded environments that are inhospitable to the resident species. In arid environments, nurse trees act as islands in an environment uninhabitable to many plant species, and the size of the canopy controls the size of the understory plant community. We predicted that plant species richness will be affected by the area of the habitat and decrease with habitat isolation. We sampled the adult and seedling plant communities at canopy center, canopy edge, and outside canopy microhabitats. We found that species richness in both adult and seedling communities increases with increasing island area. However, richness in seedling communities was greater than in adult communities, and this effect was greatest at the canopy center microhabitat. Competition has been demonstrated to be more important in controlling species distributions near the canopy center, and stress is more important near the canopy edge. Thus, our results suggest that neutral forces, biotic interactions, and abiotic filtering act together to control species richness in these island communities.","PeriodicalId":39647,"journal":{"name":"Communicative and Integrative Biology","volume":" ","pages":"232-239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9629067/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40448186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper analyzes how we think and what happens when we communicate our thoughts verbally to others and to ourselves. The assumption that we become conscious in language is erroneous: verbal communication is only an intermediary. The conscious experience of verbal communication is a sensory phenomenon. We think through sensory images (see Part I). This natural way of thinking, is a very refined and accurate method of translating thought into consciousness. It expresses our essentially unconscious neural cognitive activity in conscious sensory images: visual thinkers 'see' what they have thought. Why humans use verbal communication to express their thoughts to themselves is difficult to understand as the verbal way is extremely limited. The complex parallel cognitive activity has to be encoded into language tokens which are positioned sequentially as a string of symbols which somehow must express something comparable. Talking to oneself is directed to an imaginary person who is assumed to be the talking person himself. This imaginary person develops with the inner voice in infants and when the child grows up, that imaginary person remains there, somebody he talks to when he thinks and to which he attributes his feelings and his actions. The imaginary person is experienced as the human Self, but actually verbalizes the thoughts of the natural - animal - Self.","PeriodicalId":39647,"journal":{"name":"Communicative and Integrative Biology","volume":" ","pages":"182-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9361756/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40715999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maize KNOTTED1 (KN1) was the first homeodomain transcription factor identified in plants, and functions in maintaining shoot stem cells. KN1 acts non-cell autonomously, and both its messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein traffic between cells through intercellular nanochannels called plasmodesmata. KN1 protein and mRNA trafficking are regulated by a chaperonin subunit and a catalytic subunit of the RNA exosome, respectively. These studies suggest that the function of KN1 in stem cell regulation requires the cell-to-cell transport of both its protein and mRNA. However, in situ hybridization experiments published 25 years ago suggested that KN1 mRNA was missing from the epidermal (L1) layer of shoot meristems, suggesting that only the KN1 protein could traffic. Here, we show evidence that KN1 mRNA is present at a low level in L1 cells of maize meristems, supporting an idea that both KN1 protein and mRNA traffic to the L1 layer. We also summarize mRNA expression patterns of KN1 homologs in diverse angiosperm species, and discuss KN1 trafficking mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":39647,"journal":{"name":"Communicative and Integrative Biology","volume":" ","pages":"158-163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9272838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40588721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mpnek1 knockouts were shown to develop curly and spiral rhizoids due to the fluctuated direction of growth. Still, physiological roles and mechanisms of MpNEK1-dependent rhizoid tip growth remain to be clarified. Here, we developed novel culture methods to further study rhizoid growth of M. polymorpha, in which plants were grown on vertical plates. We applied the established methods to investigate MpNEK1 function in rhizoid growth. Rhizoids of the wild-type and Mpnek1 plants grew toward the gravity. The aerial rhizoids were longer in Mpnek1 than in the wild type. When the rhizoids were grown on the surface of a cellophane sheet, rhizoid length was comparable between the wild type and Mpnek1, whereas Mpnek1 developed more rhizoids compared to the wild type. We also applied gellan gum, which is more transparent than agar, to analyze rhizoids grown in the medium. Rhizoids of Mpnek1 displayed defect on entering into the solid medium. These results suggest that Mpnek1 rhizoids have the deficiency in invasive tip growth. Thus, stable directional growth is important for rhizoids to get into the soil to anchor plant body and to adsorb water and nutrients. Collectively, our newly designed growth systems are valuable for analyzing rhizoid growth.","PeriodicalId":39647,"journal":{"name":"Communicative and Integrative Biology","volume":" ","pages":"164-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9272829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40588722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
