Analysis of the Mechanism of Wood Vinegar and Butyrolactone Promoting Rapeseed Growth and Improving Low-Temperature Stress Resistance Based on Transcriptome and Metabolomics.

Rapeseed is an important oil crop in the world. Wood vinegar could increase the yield and abiotic resistance of rapeseed. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of wood vinegar or its valid chemical components on rapeseed.

Genome-wide identification and bioinformatics analysis of the WD40 transcription factor family and candidate gene screening for anthocyanin biosynthesis in Rhododendron simsii.

WD40 transcription factors (TFs) constitute a large gene family in eukaryotes, playing diverse roles in cellular processes. However, their functions in the major ornamental plant, Rhododendron simsii, remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified 258 WD40 proteins in the R.

High Efficacy of the Volatile Organic Compounds of 3-10 in Suppression of Contamination on Peanut Kernels.

and are saprophytic fungi which can infect and contaminate preharvest and postharvest food/feed with production of aflatoxins (B, B, and G). They are also an opportunistic pathogen causing aspergillosis diseases of animals and humans. In this study, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 3-10 were found to be able to inhibit mycelial growth, sporulation, conidial germination, and expression of aflatoxin biosynthesis genes in and .

Strain identification and metabolites isolation of Aspergillus capensis CanS-34A from Brassica napus.

An isolate (CanS-34A) of Aspergillus from a healthy plant of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) was identified based on morphological characterization and multi-locus phylogeny using the sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-5.8S rDNA region, BenA (for β-tubulin), CaM (for calmodulin) and RPB2 (for RNA polymerase II). The results showed that CanS-34A belongs to Aspergillus capensis Hirooka et al.

Biocontrol of on Peanut Kernels Using 3-10.

The bacterium, 3-10, shows promise in the control of many phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, and its antifungal substances, culture filtrate (CF) and crude extracts (CE), were evaluated for their activity in reducing growth and aflatoxin AFB production by , both and on peanut kernels. The results showed that in dual culture conditions, reduced the mycelial growth of about 41% as compared to control.

Reveromycins A and B from sp. 3-10: Antifungal Activity against Plant Pathogenic Fungi and in a Strawberry Food Model System.

This study was conducted to determine the antifungal activity of the metabolites from sp. 3-10, and to purify and identify the metabolites. Meanwhile, the taxonomic status of strain 3-10 was re-evaluated.

A scoring system for prediction of early recurrence after liver resection for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: The management of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial due to the early recurrence after curative hepatectomy, and many variables were related to the prognosis. The purpose of this study was to predict the tumor recurrence in early postoperative period of the patients with BCLC stage B HCC.

Methods: From January 2004 to January 2012, 104 patients with BCLC stage B HCC underwent hepatectomy.
