Using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) to screen genes involved in β-glucan biosynthesis and accumulation during oat seed development.

Oat ( L.) is an annual grass that has a high nutritional value and therapeutic benefits. β-glucan is one of the most important nutrients in oats.

Hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation are achieved by miR-1285-3P through targeted regulation of NOTCH pathway.

The purpose of this experiment is to understand how miR-1285-3P regulates the NOTCH signaling pathway by targeting, thereby affecting the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells. The cultured Inner Mongolia hair follicle stem cells were used in this experiment, and they were divided into control group, blank transfection group and miR-1285-3P transfection group. Among them, the control group was left untreated; the blank group was given miR-NC transfection; at the same time, the miR-1285-3P transfection group was given miR-1285-3P mimics for transfection.

[Effects of long-term fertilization on pH buffer system of sandy loam calcareous fluvor-aquic soil].

Soil samples (0-80 cm) were collected from a 30-year fertilization experimental site in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province of East China to study the variations of the pH, calcium carbonate and active calcium carbonate contents, and pH buffer capacity of sandy loam calcareous fluvor-aquic soil under different fertilization treatments. Thirty-year continuous application of different fertilizers accelerated the acidification of topsoil (0-20 cm), with the soil pH decreased by 0.41-0.
