The ERF (ethylene-responsive element-binding factor) transcription factor family plays important roles in abiotic and biotic stress responses in plants. An EAR motif-containing ERF gene, IbERF4, was isolated from sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]. IbERF4 was highly expressed in the early stage of storage roots and can be induced by various stresses. By overexpressing IbERF4 in Arabidopsis, the transgenic Arabidopsis showed greater sensitivity to drought and salt stress by down-regulating stress-related genes, such as rd22, rd29, AtCBF1 and AtCBF2. Overexpressing IbERF4 in sweetpotato made the transgenic sweetpotato more sensitive to salt stress and made propagating new seedlings more difficult. Consistently, the transcriptomic profiling results showed that genes involved in oxidative stress were significantly down-regulated in sweetpotato overexpression lines. These results indicated that IbERF4 plays as key regulators in sweetpotato abiotic stress.

Background/Aims The Rome III criteria separated chronic constipation into functional constipation (FC) and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C), but some researchers questioned the partitioning and treated both as distinct parts of a continuum. The study aims to explore the similarity and diversity of brain white matter between FC and IBS-C. Methods The voxel-wise analysis of the diffusion parameters was used to quantify the white matter changes of female brains in 18 FC patients and 20 IBS-C patients compared with a comparison group with 19 healthy controls by tract-based spatial statistics. The correlations between diffusive parameters and clinical symptoms were evaluated using a Pearson’s correlation. Results In comparison to healthy controls, FC patients showed a decrease of fractional anisotropy (FA) and an increase of radial diffusivity (RD) in multiple major fibers encompassing the corpus callosum (CC, P = 0.001 at peak), external capsule (P = 0.002 at peak), corona radiata (CR, P = 0.001 at peak), and superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF, P = 0.002 at peak). In contrast, IBS-C patients showed FA and RD aberrations in the CC (P = 0.048 at peak). Moreover, the direct comparison between FC and IBS-C showed only RD differences in the CR and SLF. In addition, FA and RD in the CC were significantly associated with abdominal pain for all patients, whereas FA in CR (P = 0.016) and SLF (P = 0.040) were significantly associated with the length of time per attempt and incomplete evacuation separately for FC patients. Conclusion These results may improve our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying different types of constipation. (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2018;24:107-118)
