4 M5 J, }0 E/ |' t$ L; `" [$ c$ xWhen an extrasolar planet passes in front of its star (transits), its radius can be measured from the decrease in starlight and its orbital period from the time between transits. This study reports Kepler spacecraft observations of a single Sun-like star that reveal six transiting planets, five with orbital periods between 10 and 47 days plus a sixth one with a longer period. The five inner planets are among the smallest for which mass and size have both been measured, and these measurements imply substantial envelopes of light gases.

Henize 2-10 is a nearby dwarf starburst galaxy that may be similar to galaxies in the infant Universe. It is reported that Henize 2-10 contains a compact radio source at the dynamical centre of the galaxy that is spatially coincident with a hard X-ray source, from which it is concluded that Henize 2-10 harbours an actively accreting central black hole with a mass of approximately one million solar masses. The results confirm that nearby star-forming dwarf galaxies can indeed form massive black holes, and by implication so can their primordial counterparts.

The intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses allow diffraction imaging of small structures before radiation damage occurs. This new capability is tested for the problem of structure determination from nanocrystals of macromolecules that cannot be grown in large crystals. Over three million diffraction patterns were collected from a stream of nanocrystals of the membrane protein complex photosystem I, which allowed the assembly of a three-dimensional data set for this protein, and proves the concept of this imaging technique.

The intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses allow diffraction imaging of small structures before radiation damage occurs. This new capability is tested for the problem of imaging a non-crystalline biological sample. Images of mimivirus are obtained, the largest known virus with a total diameter of about 0.75 micrometres, by injecting a beam of cooled mimivirus particles into the X-ray beam. The measurements indicate no damage during imaging and prove the concept of this imaging technique. c. [/ Z# T3 i. M8 y1 P/ f

Late Holocene methane rise caused by orbitally controlled increase in tropical sources3 D- a2 `1 e, |7 a( E+ H
The source of what seems to be an anomalous increase in atmospheric methane concentrations about 5,000 years ago compared to methane levels during previous interglacial periods has puzzled researchers. Possible explanations for the rise in methane levels include very early agricultural activity. Climate and wetland simulations of global methane levels over the last glacial cycle now suggest that the increase in methane concentrations can be explained by natural changes in the Earth's orbital configuration, with enhanced emissions in the Southern Hemisphere tropics linked to precession-induced modification of seasonal precipitation( V/ j) S7 r- V3 a% A* a# Z- K+ O

Alternative stable states explain unpredictable biological control of Salvinia molesta in Kakadu2 }) z% e0 @/ Y1 b, w
Alternative stable states are common in ecosystems, and pose problems for management, but most studied examples are of strongly stable states that switch only rarely after major perturbations. This study fits a model of weakly stable states to a billabong system in which biological control is applied to an invasive weed. Frequent changes in water availability cause shifts between states in which control either is or is not effective. Understanding these shifts could allow intervention to keep the system in the controlled state.

Neuronal plasticity is thought to be the source of several chronic neurological conditions, including tinnitus. Using a rodent model for noise-induced tinnitus, this study finds that reversing neural plasticity induced by the tinnitus can correct perceptual impairments caused by the ailment. Pairing tones with stimulation of the vagus nerve sharpened auditory neuron tuning and eliminated the physiological as well as behavioural correlates of the tinnitus. This proof of principle suggests that simply restoring normal neural activity to circuits that have been pathologically modified could provide a benefit in those ailments involving aberrant neural plasticity.

Circadian rhythms regulate a wide variety of developmental and metabolic processes resulting in enhanced fitness. In this study, a link is made between plant immune responses and the circadian clock. Plant defence against a fungal pathogen which causes downy mildew disease in Arabidopsis is studied, and it is shown that a novel set of defence genes are regulated by the circadian regulator CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1). The mechanism allows plants to 'anticipate' infection at dawn when the pathogen normally disperses its spores. Such a cross-talk mechanism reveals an important strategy for plants to time immune responses against pathogens.

- l; J0 _3 L6 \# @( W4 ZRecruitment of 53BP1 to double-strand DNA breaks is an important step in the cellular response to DNA damage. Here, the histone methyltransferase MMSET is shown to be responsible for localized increases in a histone modification that is involved in recruiting 53BP1. The mechanism of MMSET recruitment to DNA damage sites is also investigated.
