Transcription activator-like effectors（TALEs） are delivered by a type III secretion system（T3 SS） of Xanthomonas into plant nuclei to directly bind specific DNA sequences（TAL effector-binding elements, EBEs） on either strand of host target genes with an unique modular DNA-binding domain and to bidirectionally drive host gene transcription. The target genes in plants consist of host susceptibility（S） genes promoting disease（ETS） and resistance（R） genes triggering defense（ETI）. Here we generally summarized the discovery of TALEs in Xanthomonas species, their functions in bacterial pathogenicity in plants and their target genes in different host plants, and then focused on the newly revealed modes of protein action in triggering or suppressing plant defense.展开更多

As the Donggan people migrated from northwest China, folk tales from northwest China were also transplanted to central Asia. In the absence of written records, these stories also mutate as they are passed down through the mouths and ears of foreign peoples. Secondly, Donggan folk tales borrowed from northwest folk tales. Some plot units in Donggan folktales are very similar to those in northwest China, but the specific characters and plot structure of the whole story are obviously different from those in northwest China. This kind of folk stories are new stories created by Donggan people who borrowed the parent story of folk stories in northwest China and recombined it with other plots. With comparative study of folk tales, the profound cultural ties between the two places can be revealed.展开更多

Some say that the very original Grimm's fairy tales is capricious that we may be more cautious whether it's suitable for children. With the rethinking of fairy tales, many other scholars argue that the fairy tales can be valuable with its hidden German customs in the original version and the current versions are acceptable to children.The hot discussion raises our thinking. This new discussing wave may indicate something at a degree that the Grimm's Fairy Tales is worthy going deeper to study. We think that the Grimm's ferry tales is valuable for its pure essence and the German culture it hides that even adults should read it. Children can read the current version of Grimm's Fairy Tales with their innocence,getting the basic judging system of good and bad. The core question is that Adults also should pick it up. That's because usually people will find that all the experiences and reasons can be dated back to the simple truths in fairy tales. Meantime, the Grimm's Fairy Tales reflects lots of unthinkable customs and culture. The only thing we need to do is try to find new aspects and directions to explore the classic. With the spiritual and academic help, shouldn't the Grimm's fairy tales be necessary for both children and adults to read?展开更多

One of the most interesting manifestations of this new movement was not merely the introduction of new aesthetic materials and factors, but the adoption and positive ＂reprocessing＂ of traditional factors---especially historical factors and folk narrative factors. Based on intertextual theory, we would like to address the strong penetration, reproduction, and transformation of some folk storytelling models and historical materials in Vietnamese literature since 1986. Two corresponding phenomena we examine are ＂historical rewriting＂ and ＂alternative fairy tales＂--as part of the whole process of incredulity towards grand narratives and postmodernism in the contemporary Vietnamese prose.展开更多

The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm （GFT） can be seen in a wide sense as a source of the history of culture and social life in the German speaking countries of the nineteenth century. Culture-bound words refer to a special cultural knowledge, which is in a historical sense not or not completely compatible with the structure of knowledge in our present days, and refer to a common cultural knowledge of the community of German speaking countries as well. This article describes the ways of using English equivalents in the translations of the GFT including lexical and cognitive procedures, which stand behind the use of certain equivalents. This leads to the theoretical question： Is it possible to extend the model of denotative equivalence using features of conceptual metonymy in rendering culture-bound words in the target texts？ Investigating this, there can be established modifications in the theory of conceptual metonymy in the framework of cognitive linguistics.展开更多

As one of the representatives of feminist writers in the last century, Angela Carter devoted her life to prosecuting patriarchal society from the perspective of women, calling on women to find themselves and realize personality libera-tion. At the same time, she is also a rational feminist, advocating the establishment of harmonious rather than antagonistic social re-lations with men and women.This article will mainly use text analysis and contrast and comparison to study the image of the male and female image in Angela Carter's modern fairy tale, and explore the reasons. On the basis of the text analysis, this paper will study the transformation of female image from the change of female status and personality. The laws of comparison and comparison will be used to explore the differences between men and women in the traditional fairy tale and the modern fairy tale of Angela Cart-er. The study found that in Carter's reconstruction of the fairy tale, the female image dares to break through the inherent status, and constantly launches the impact on the men's rights, seeking individual independence and self-liberation, and the male image is more diversified and more realistic and vivid. Through this study, it is hoped that the reader will have a deeper and more compre-hensive understanding of Angela Carter and his work, and find out the new feminist connotation contained in his work, thus ending the dualistic confrontation of the male and female and establishing a harmonious relationship.展开更多
