Axion lines from nuclear de-excitations in galactic stellar populations

We show that mono-energetic axions are produced in abundance through nuclear de-excitations in nearby galaxies such as M87, which is the central galaxy of the Virgo cluster, and the starburst galaxy M82. If the axion couples to both nucleons and photons and is ultralight, then monochromatic hard X-ray signatures are induced by the subsequent axion-to-photon conversion in the magnetic fields permeating these systems. We search for evidence of such signals using NuSTAR data, focusing specifically on the $^{57}$Fe de-excitation line at 14.4 keV, and we catalog other potentially relevant nuclear lines. We find no evidence for axions from M87 or M82 and set leading constraints on the combined axion-nucleon and axion-photon coupling at the level of $|g_{ann} \times g_{aγγ}| \lesssim 1.1 \times 10^{-22}$ GeV$^{-1}$ in the limit $m_a \lesssim 10^{-10}$ eV, at 95% confidence.

Population genomics identify the requirement of BAP2 in the sufficiency of IRE1 in the UPR

Sequencing reads archived here are part of a project studying natural variation in ER stress responses in Arabidopsis reported in Pastor-Cantizano et al. 2024. The project focused on contrasting alleles derived from Na-1 (tolerant) and Est-0 (susceptible) accessions when exposed to a ER stress inducer. These accession were crossed, F3 progeny were phenotyped, and the top and bottom 10% of relative performance under ER stress (42 individuals from each tail) were pooled and sequenced. Candidate genomic regions were identified by looking for allele frequency differences among the two pools in a standard QTL-seq approach
