SlSPA3 regulates the nuclear abundance of SlUVR8 in tomato.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important model plant species in photomorphogenesis research. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) induces the dissociation of homodimers of the photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8) into monomers, which translocate into the nucleus.

S-nitrosylation may inhibit the activity of COP1 in plant photomorphogenesis.

Protein S-nitrosylation, which is defined by the covalent attachment of nitric oxide (NO) to the thiol group of cysteine residues, is known to play critical roles in plant development and stress responses. NO promotes seedling photomorphogenesis and NO emission is enhanced by light. However, the function of protein S-nitrosylation in plant photomorphogenesis is largely unknown.

Regionally Compatible Individual Tree Growth Model under the Combined Influence of Environment and Competition.

To explore the effects of competition, site, and climate on the growth of Chinese fir individual tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (H), a regionally compatible individual tree growth model under the combined influence of environment and competition was constructed. Using continuous forest inventory (CFI) sample plot data from Fujian Province between 1993 and 2018, we constructed an individual tree DBH model and an H model based on re-parameterization (RP), BP neural network (BP), and random forest (RF), which compared the accuracy of the different modeling methods. The results showed that the inclusion of competition and environmental factors could improve the prediction accuracy of the model.

The Time-Lag Effect of Climate Factors on the Forest Enhanced Vegetation Index for Subtropical Humid Areas in China.

Forests represent the greatest carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems. Climate change drives the changes in forest vegetation growth, which in turn influences carbon sequestration capability. Exploring the dynamic response of forest vegetation to climate change is thus one of the most important scientific questions to be addressed in the precise monitoring of forest resources.

ROS-stimulated protein lysine acetylation is required for crown root development in rice.

Introduction: As signal molecules in aerobic organisms, locally accumulated ROS have been reported to balance cell division and differentiation in the root meristem. Protein posttranslational modifications such as lysine acetylation play critical roles in controlling a variety of cellular processes. However, the mechanism by which ROS regulate root development is unknown.

LncRNA-UC.25 + shRNA Alleviates P2Y Receptor-Mediated Diabetic Neuropathic Pain via STAT1.

Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is a common complication of diabetes, and its complicated pathogenesis, as well as clinical manifestations, has brought great trouble to clinical treatment. The spinal cord is an important part of regulating the occurrence and development of DNP. Spinal microglia can regulate the activity of spinal cord neurons and have a regulatory effect on chronic pain.

Parental variation in CHG methylation is associated with allelic-specific expression in elite hybrid rice.

Heterosis refers to the superior performance of hybrid lines over inbred parental lines. Besides genetic variation, epigenetic differences between parental lines are suggested to contribute to heterosis. However, the precise nature and extent of differences between the parental epigenomes and the reprograming in hybrids that govern heterotic gene expression remain unclear.

Neferine alleviates P2X3 receptor in rat dorsal root ganglia mediated neuropathic pain.

Chronic neuropathic pain is caused by tissue damage or nervous system inflammation and is characterized by sensitivity to painful stimuli. P2X3 receptors play an important role in facilitating pain transmission. Neferine is a bisbenzylisoquinline alkaloid isolated from seed embryos of lotus, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation pharmacological functions.

Osthole relieves diabetics cardiac autonomic neuropathy associated with P2X3 receptor in ratstellate ganglia.

Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, which often leads to cardiac dysfunction and even threatens patients' life. Osthole, a natural coumarin derivative, has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antihypertensive effects. The P2X3 receptor is related to DCAN.

Anode-biofilm electron transfer behavior and wastewater treatment under different operational modes of bioelectrochemical system.

Anode-biofilm electron transfer behavior was investigated during the advanced wastewater treatment process by three bioelectrochemical systems (BESs): microbial fuel cell (MFC), MFC operated under short circuit condition (MSC), and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Under different operational modes, current produced by the anode biofilm varied from 0.92, 4.
